Speaking of RUclips Dark Arts, I saw this video just after yours this a.m. Please take a look as I think you will enjoy the comedy and the message for RUclipsrs. Enjoy his 5 minutes. ruclips.net/video/IgH0zHUtOgg/видео.html
I share your fascination for these old machines that were made to last. With a minimum of maintenance I bet it will still run by the turn of the next century. Thanks for sharing - and keeping this old tractor alive for generations to come.
I got a 46 as well. Love it but the guy I bought it from painted 8n colors. He also had a 9n, it run and all but it was all froze up and no tires, so I just got the 2n. He thought they were all 8ns until I taught him. 1939 to 1942 are 9n. 1942 to 1948 are 2n. 1948 to 195? Are 8n. The 2n i think in 1943 or 44 were non battery and steel wheels for 2 years I think then just before war was over they went back to battery and rubber tires. Just a bit of history for you guys. Love the video keep them coming.
Wow Bus that's incredible that tractor purrs like a kitten,you see them tractors all over the place So that means they were built to last with some maintenance of coarse! Cute...
What a great show Bus. I enjoyed hearing that 4 cylinder pop. We had a International/Farmall BN narrow front we pulled the wagon loads of firewood to the house. All those old tractors are great machines still to this day. Good day Sir and be safe.
Great job, Bus. Hopefully it will be a good many years before you have to do that job again. It's amazing how many old tractors of all makes are still working hard today. They also offer a lot of "bang for the buck" if you are patient and keep your eyes open for the right deal. I use my 1952 Ferguson TO-30 for all sorts of chores, and it cost me less than many of the lawn tractors at Lowes and Home Depot.
At 5:20, Because 2 mpg. But I told you last year what a pleasure it is to work on old tractors, because they're made to be torn completely down in the middle of a field somewhere. It's like building a house from trees vs one from Legos... The tractor being the Legos of course. ;p
Funny you mention that. I had just spent hours sanding it back to that color, original and primer and a little bare metal and treated it with linseed oil.
They can´t build engines like that today, if they do they will not make a million/week witch seems to be the goal with all branshes thees days. Good vlog Bus.
I did actually do the straight edge thing, and it looked shockingly good. It never got hot enough to change shape i guess, cause its a really tight seal now and not blowing any steam.
I like old farm equipment it Amazing how they still works after years has passed sometimes it just need a little TLC just like us and we perks up lol !
Bus, that is what upsets me everyday I try to fix any car or truck now adays. Every thing is built to {MAYBE} last as long as the payments your making. The other upsetting thing is vehicles and equipment COST AS MUCH AS SOME HOUSES!@!!!! Put a fuel shut off on it and when you intend to leave it for a few days shut off the fuel and let it run to burn up all that fuel in the lines and carb that way it won't give you fuel gummed up system. The fuel nowadays is 15% ethanol & that contains water which will create rust and gue in your tractor.

Thank you for the instructional video. Now I have more confidence in changing the head gasket on my 2N.
No problem at all. I’m really glad you found the video. Good luck and have fun. Thanks for the comment.
Who didn't know this would be running by the end of the video? Excellent job. Thank you.
I know. Silly to even try click bait. I never really dabble with those dark arts, but it seems to work for everyone else.

Thanks a lot! I dont see why not. They cant really burn!

Thats right!
Oh snap. I bet that old man loved the TLC you provided. Super awesome
Good job Bus, glad it’s still working for you. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Thanks Fred!
What a great show Bus. I enjoyed hearing that 4 cylinder pop. We had a International/Farmall BN narrow front we pulled the wagon loads of firewood to the house. All those old tractors are great machines still to this day. Good day Sir and be safe.
Thanks a lot. I like those stories.
Beautiful tractor! Great job keeping her running and working.
Thanks!
posterity is what i feel when i see that great tractor, and you know its story...glad you got it back up...txs for sharing
Thanks a lot. Yes, my dad bought it when he moved to Maine in the 70s.
The old boy has forgiven you Bus. Nice tires too. Great work. Sorry for the smoke stress but was to be expected. Take care.
I think so! I should have expected it. I will next time!
Those old Fords are damn near indestructible.
I agree.
Nothing is made like it used to be! That’s a nice tractor. I don’t know anything about engines but that sounds super good!
Thanks a lot!

Its true! And the real power of 21 legit horse power!
Thanks for the reminder of why things can't be made like that anymore.
Bus when you started the engine, it actually sounded happy. Happy to be clean and purring like a kitten
Yes. I thought the same thing. it sat there all winter waiting, waiting.
Love the OLD Ford Tractors!!!
Me too! Check out the N-News if you like them! Its a great quarterly journal on the subject.
@@BusHuxley Yup I get the N News, great publication!
She runs wounderfull. Excellent Job.
Thanks
Always good to see one of the N series brought back to life. They’re as tough as an old rubber boot.
Thats right.
Amazing machine. I read that farmers are looking for older tractors on commercial farms-much more reliable than new ones.
Yes, it makes sense. No computers. But they certainly require thought. I hope you're doing well!
Throw some new paint on that fine piece of machinery man. Great job that tractor is awesome 🇺🇸👍
I painted it with linseed oil. I really like how it looks now. Thanks !
Bus Huxley I think it looks super classic as well. Who needs new paint after 76 years. Awesome work my friend.
Nice tractor ! A bit of a break from working on the house. Purrrs like a kitten , 👍👍😊
Yes!
Beautiful Tractor... You can’t buy the character that these tractors have.
Thats right! And steel which doesn't rust!
Good morning Bus, also easy to work on.
Yes,
At 5:20, Because 2 mpg. But I told you last year what a pleasure it is to work on old tractors, because they're made to be torn completely down in the middle of a field somewhere. It's like building a house from trees vs one from Legos... The tractor being the Legos of course. ;p
Yes! I love that they are made to be worked on. Utility! And great beauty in that utility.
Great old tractor the old girl could do with a lick of paint thou
Funny you mention that. I had just spent hours sanding it back to that color, original and primer and a little bare metal and treated it with linseed oil.
That’s awesome, she purrs like a kitten with a belly full of milk. Have a great weekend.
Yessah! You too
They can´t build engines like that today, if they do they will not make a million/week witch seems to be the goal with all branshes thees days. Good vlog Bus.
Thats right.
Straight edge and feeler gauge check or just slapping on a new gasket?
I did actually do the straight edge thing, and it looked shockingly good. It never got hot enough to change shape i guess, cause its a really tight seal now and not blowing any steam.
Might be worth doing a compression check on the cylinders. Just a thought.
Thanks. Good idea.
I like old farm equipment it Amazing how they still works after years has passed sometimes it just need a little TLC just like us and we perks up lol !
Yess!
Great tractor
What was the symptoms you were having before the repairs?
Barely running, tons of steam, low power. It was obvious.
Bus those old flat head ford engines can take beating and still keep going.
Love simplicity of those old engines
Me too!
Purrs like a kitten ( good job Bus
Its a great sound . Thanks
We’re u wearing a respirator at some point? Why?
I had been sanding metal.
Good job, Bus. You didn't need to call me for any advise. I'm proud of you!
Thanks a lot! I was thinking of you through this process!
Old things are good things
Great job. It’ll last another 80 years.
Easy/
No volume your video can hear it
Crime scene! 😂 I couldn't care less about cars, but I love tractors!
THanks! Yes, i like cars too, but while i have a need for speed, sort of, i also have a need for slow.
Was going to say it was just burning off the yuck
Yes! Thats exactly what it was doing, Thanks
👍👏😃
Ha, that baby is older than me... Believe it or not, I don't get to say that about too many vehicles.
Yes, one day before too long it'll be older than any human on earth! And maybe still running
Bus, that is what upsets me everyday I try to fix any car or truck now adays. Every thing is built to {MAYBE} last as long as the payments your making. The other upsetting thing is vehicles and equipment COST AS MUCH AS SOME HOUSES!@!!!!
Put a fuel shut off on it and when you intend to leave it for a few days shut off the fuel and let it run to burn up all that fuel in the lines and carb that way it won't give you fuel gummed up system. The fuel nowadays is 15% ethanol & that contains water which will create rust and gue in your tractor.
Thanks a lot! I agree.
