Upgrading our $250 Ford 2n tractor. It does Wheelies!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- So this is my wifes 1946 Ford 2N tractor that she bought for $250. We where told that it was originally equipped with a street sweeper attachment for the state. We made a will it start video on this tractor a year ago and it has been our most popular video so far with 1,000,000 views as of now. With the upgrades we do in this video it should work much better for us on the farm.

Something so right about three generations working on a tractor together.
Good times
Uee
It's great you're teaching your son.
Top comment!
It definitely matters when installing a hoop that you do it in a star pattern. Otherwise, the torque will be unevenly distributed, which will lead to distortion of the surfaces, plus the hoops won't seat properly. The information is in service manuals.
Thank you I will tell him
@@PlasmaStorm73-N5EVV a car is not a tractor. there is a weight diference, and a tractor is pulling equipment, while a car is extremely light, has a smaller axel, goes faster, and the tires wear out faster, so it won't matter too much.
“You know where your kids are?”
I don’t care! 😂😂😂😂 true parenting skillz!
She’s a mess
Dad is right on the criss cross tightening procedure Ralphie. It helps make sure the wheel is seated correctly against the mounting surface.
Thank you I agree
Also keeps you from warping your wheels.
Working across the face of the component is always the best practice for install. For removal, it doesn't make a difference for wheels, in particular. If it was a valve cover, intake or cylinder head, yes, Id be looking to a removal pattern. In this application, for wheels, Ralphie is right, it doesn't matter,
Wow. That's an awesome milestone. Also, that $250 is gonna be a worker. I remember driving a tractor for the first time at 11 and it was a blast. Congrats on a million views on that tractor video
Nice, thank you
Great job, i think you should be ok with 10-15 psi. In those rears though, the tractor will have a much smoother ride than if you run 25-30 psi in them and may actually get a bit more traction. Its kind of a catch putting new rubber on old tractors as you often spend more than the equipment is worth on the tires/rims/tubes. But at least you don't have a tractor payment and you still got a good little workhorse to use on your property. You can get/fabricate many useful attachments for that three point and these little fords seem to be tough as nails and last a long time with little maintenance. Regards from Western IL, Zach B.
I agree thank you
16 psi is plenty for a small tractor tire. Higher air pressure just tears up the ground. And yes they are called self clearing because they push the mud to the side to get down to fresh earth. If you run them backwards it piles the mud under tire. Great content!
Ok thank you
Needs to be painted Ford blue
Very true. But you want to reverse the tread if the tractor runs on pavement often. Saves a lot of wear and tear.
You folks are such a blessing to watch. Wonderful to see such a beautiful family. May God Bless you all. Happy Easter.
Thank you I appreciate it
I think why I watch your channel is because it's just good ole country fun...really injoy watching you guys work on everything
Thank you
Dad is always right Ralphie... always.
P.S. If you want to add weight back into the new tubes/tires, you can use RV anti-freeze instead of the more expensive options. It can usually be found cheap at the end of winter (I got some recently for $2 gallon at Menards). It also provides some rust protection too. I've had it in one of my old Cub Cadet garden tractors for over 30 years.
P.S.S. You can use talcum powder on the tube/tire to help the tube slip in and align easier.
"Any job worth doing... is always worth doing right."
That’s right!!! Thank you
RV antifreeze works great. You can mix it about 30% with water and it will be good. You can buy a fitting to go from a water hose to the tube on Amazon or eBay. I used a barrel and sump pump to fill the ones on mine.
Always fun watching the family work together…Thank You!!!😀
Thank you for watching
Yes it most definitely matters when installing any fasteners, To do the cross/Star pattern helps to bring what ever your tighten flush to the base. If you go in a circle it could get pinched and not set flush and cause more damage later on.
Exactly
All right! My wife and I look forward to every new episode. Thanks for all the laughs Dude.
Thank you for watching
I don’t know if it would work the same, but on a bicycle tube you put a little bit of air in the tube just to give it some shape before installing second side of the tire.
Helps avoid pinching the tube.
Ok thank you
Applesolutely!
Ralphie and you make a good team.🙌 Thank you dad for helping 🙌
Thank you he’s the best
Great video. Can you leave us a link to the original video you talked about?
It should show it at the end of the video
Another great video ❤️💚 Am investing in crypto now..... the dip is a clear sign for new investors to come in ✅✅
You're right, that's why I invested into assets like cryptocurrency and some stocks
Stocks are good to invest on, but crypto is more profitable
Crypto is the new Gold
I wanted to trade crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
@@كاثي-ب9ظ You have to get more experience first, work with a professional like Mr Dave Jevans on crypto to guide you step-by-step.
Teaching the kids and letting them help is awesome.
Thanks
teach them to operate the tractor SAFELY.
Hi from uk josh and family👋👍 great episode and well deserved bit of love for the old girl👌 just watched matt from diesalcreek just got a locked up 9n goun ran like a peach too old is still gold👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon guys👍👋
Ok interesting thanks
I really enjoy your videos and seeing your family help with all the projects your have on your list, but I always cringe seeing you do your projects wearing your steel toe flip-flops. I have worked in too many factories and have dropped too many things on my toes and I am amazed that you haven't done that in any of your videos. Really like the videos!
Thank you I appreciate it
My dad just got a 9n tractor last year and we have been doing a lot of work on it. It’s a good tractor. Had to rebuild the destroyed hydraulics. The cylinder was bad.
That’s awesome
Besides you working on the tractor, I like how you relate, with your family...
Thank you
That is a great tractor. It looks like the one may friend would let me use. I think his was a 54/57. We had horse. IT worked so good.
Yeah it’s a good one
Putting the tread on backwards will cause the tire to float and you’ll have no traction
Ok interesting
A farmer I once worked for in Kansas had one of these with the top on it said it was a after market part and was had a cold weather set up for it it was a canvas that would wrap around the body of the tractor and use engine heat to keep some warm air going on the driver was not the best heat but did give you some heat. love to watch you all spend time working on this stuff together you are truly Blessed.
Oh wow that’s awesome .. thank you
Won't be long, Ralphie will become more self sufficient and confidant in all the tasks... he's got a great Dad and Grandpa's... great Family to learn from and with as the days pass!
I hope so thank you
It doesn't look like the cover came on the tractor. I think it would have been put on a lot better. Also I love that you include Ralphie in your projects. He seems like a really sweet boy who loves working beside his daddy.
Thank you yeah he’s the best
oops nee dad again
It does matter when you are putting a tire on. I always criss cross mine. When taking off, you can do what you want. Love the tractor and family content
I agree thank you
I don't know if that cab was factory or not I'm 65 and never seen such a thing but it looks like a city or maybe a county construction thing
It was a street sweeper originally so that would make sense
Doing wheelies is something you want to avoid on a tractor :) We welded a large piece of angle iron and some thick plate steel to the nose of our old John Deere A and then chained and bolted a steel nail keg barrel to the nose and filled it with plate steel, sand and even some oil to weigh it down good as it's very hilly here. Even then I often found myself riding on the nose of the tractor sitting astraddle of the radiator cap with my feet in that barrel for my extra weight when we'd be baling hay on these hills and still occasionally felt the front end leave the ground. I sure don't miss changing out those big tires though and beating the wheels off and then back onto the cogged axles but, when it's gotta be done it's gotta be done. We used to use two sledges as well, but on the same wheel, one hitting the back side the other matching blows on the front side of the wheel. Clearance might be an issue on yours for doing that though. If you can patch up those old tubes they make fun sleds on the hills in the winter time, or for floating around on in the lake. I sure do like how much easier it looks like Ford made changing the tires out as opposed to the old JD's :) It's funny you mentioned the model A engines as folks used to build their own tractors in WWII out of old Ford model A's. Some day if you can, I'd suggest getting a corded Kobalt impact gun. I have yet to run across a nut one of those can't break loose! We used to fill our tractor tubes with what we called "brine" instead of air for the added weight. It was some sort of solution that wouldn't freeze in the Winter, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was in it...but it wasn't actual brine, lol. I put a small drop of it on my tongue once and it set my tongue to burning like crazy, LOL! Good job on that soap! We never thought of that back in the day. Then again, it was always us kids changing tires and no one really ever did show us how, we were just told to do it. Live and learn :)
That’s interesting thanks
ITS called family working together GREAT JOB Well done!
Just imagine how much money you save by doing this stuff!
Yep
@@Sleeperdude WE WANT THE MRS. SLEEPER TO GET MORE INVOLVED ,, WE ARE A FAMILY ....
You young folks kill me with calling those casings whatever happened to the tire
That’s funny
Nice job love the new hoops thanks for another great video 👍🚜🚜
Thank you
Love it! You need to go see, Diesel Creek, he just got I think the same one, running.
I think it’s a Ford 9N
Ok thanks
In my 75 year's I've never seen an old ford tractor with a top like that. If someone made that, they did a really nice job. Your family projects are very entertaining. Better than prime-time TV.
Thank you I appreciate it
Beats watching the Beverly Hillbillies.😂
That looks like the factory accessory top with possibly modified supports. I’m jealous!
👍🏼💪🏻😀 saludos desde San Diego California
This is one of my favorite channels. You all seem like the coolest family I’ve come across. Seeing your wife and kids all hands on in the videos is super cool.
Thank you I am blessed
You are definitely blessed.
If You face the tread where it scoops, the mud/dirt will pack into the tread and basically make a slick, the tread in the “v” fashion makes for the tire to “self-clean so when it hits the mud/dirt it pushes the old out and let’s it grab new.
Yes thank you
Dont change a thing you all keep me hanging from 1 video to the next ... one big take away is you can do what you put your mind to do... when my daughter turned 15 i taught her how to change her tires and do things on her own some days im hundreds of miles from home and not able to help her you are showing people that no matter what age or experience they can do it .. and i love the get the whole family involved. Now my daughter is 2nd year of college becoming an aircraft mechanic
That’s awesome
you guys are soooo cool... i love to watch your videos... I have a 9n that's how i found your video
Thanks for watching! Thank you
There’s something so satisfying outing new hoops and casein’s on a old tractor 🚜 made my day anyway
Yes there is
Good afternoon, I’m 74 years young, farmed and been around farms and tractors all my life? Never have I seen an attachment like the roof? Had to be aftermarket or something rebuilt for the tractor. Talked with some of the other farmers I know and same with them. Thanks for another great video.
The new hoops and casings are a definite upgrade, along with the grill addition!
Yes I agree
Is that respected man your Dad?
I like him..he is decent and respected.say hi to him.
Yes he is thanks
For fluid for your rear tires, use windshield washer fluid. It works the same as the high dollar stuff and it is a lot cheaper. Get the kind that goes to below zero and fill them up and then air up your tires, instant extra wait. Great video as usual. Have a blessed weekend. God bless you and your family.
Ok thank you I appreciate it
SAFETY - SAFETY - SAFETY:
I don't know if anyone has pointed it out but this tractor has a "non-live PTO". I have decades of experience with them. a non-live PTO means that the output shaft (PTO) is directly connected through the transmission to the engine. What does that mean ? It means that if you are using an implement such as a Bush Hog, which has the capacity to store enormous energy in the rotating mower blades, you may encounter (as i did "only once") a situation where you are mowing and come to the end of a field then apply your brakes to stop at a fence line. Thing is, when you apply the clutch, then the brake, the stored energy in the bush hog will continue to rotate the transmission and engine and you have "no control". I had mine push me completely through the fence before the bush hog blades finally stalled. The answer ? There are two (but really only one). There is a PTO release lever just below the seat on the right side, however in most cases when there is a load on the PTO shaft the release won't work. #2, Go to Tractor Supply and ask for an "over-running PTO clutch". This mechanism #1 is not expensive, and #2 allows any torque in excess of the PTO shaft to simply free-wheel ... end of problem and keeps your family safe.
Ok thank you
What's important is that you remove the top lug nut last... I always tighten diagonally and incrementally just because it's the sad nerdy way to do it... But let's face it, you're not going to get wheel vibration on a tractor... So, Ralphie, in this instance it doesn't matter... (Listen to your dad, though, and humour him. It's the easiest way)...
Ok thank you
The SteelCraft Cab Company -supplied the canopy for FORD-FERGUSON originally for the 9N
Ok great thank you
I absolutely LOVED this video!!! The new hoops and casings look great, and good on sleeperdad for noticing the front end sadness!!! Mrs. Sleeperdudette is about the prettiest farm girl I've seen in a long time!!! Now I'm going back to check out the original video. I watched it a year ago when it first came out, but I need to watch it again.
Thank you I appreciate it
If the V tread is pointing the other direction it will sling more mudd.
Ok thanks
The flathead v8 and straight six Ford industrial engine conversions were Funk conversions made by Funk Aircraft Company. They were usually done at the dealership and look factory. They look really neat and added some much needed horsepower
Ok good info thank you
That tractor is a bit like my grand mothers masey Ferguson from 51 Who is still alive
I think it's nice of dad giving him a chance and letting him learn even if it takes a little longer 👍
Thank you
Most restored tractors just sit around looking pretty. I think you should leave it as-is and use it! The water in the casings is salt water, to keep it from freezing.... thats why the hoops rotted out, the bladders must have been leaking to cause all that rot. You might end up with a dead spot in your grass where you drained the brine out.
I agree
V tread points ford so mud doesn't get stuck in the tread.
Why do you call casings casings
Ok thanks it’s a term used in the retread industry
@@Sleeperdude cool. good to know
You probably already got your fill of comments about your video and I am certainly not trying to be a know it all but the grill you installed is from an 8N but it will work just fine but if you’re interested to know when the 9N/2N came out the oval badge on the hood said Ford and the badge on the grill said Ferguson System because that tractor was built by Ford and the 3PTH was Harry Ferguson’s idea. But you should keep your eye out for an 8N to have for a restoration project and keep your 2N for the dirty work, and keep your eye out for 3PTH implements they can do anything with the right implement! And you couldn’t be more right Jesus Christ does save and people need to hear that! Good for you young man for having the courage to tell the folks watching what is important 👍
My favourite thing about your video is it’s all about your family ! You can change what you do tomorrow but you can’t change what you did yesterday 😀
Thank you for the good info
I can sympathise with you Sleeper as I’ve just spent $5200 on new spoke rims and tyres for my 1979 MGB 😪😪😪 Cheers Steve 🍺🍺🍺
Wow
yes it does matter with going criss cross when torquing WHEELS.... Tightening the lug nuts in a criss-cross fashion makes sure that every side of wheel face is evenly stuck to the wheel hub throughout the process of tightening. This reduces the likelihood of things shifting and flexing, which means that the nuts will stay tight even after you torque them. I do have to say, I love your channel but the whole "hoops" and "casings" just drives me nuts which I'm sure that's why you do it lol.
Thank you
The rollover protection is very unsafe. It is probably more of a sunscreen.
Think of your an your family protection. Because when Ralphie is driving.
Yeah you are right
Taking the lugs off it does not matter how you do it. Only putting them on. Anyone that argues that is just ignorant.
Just an idea... Find a local machine shop with a media blaster (sand blaster). Pop in with a couple of pizza's one night and say hello. I think that they would be more than willing to run things like those rusty wheel plates through. I worked in a machine shop and used to run cast iron pans through when they were rusty. They had a huge "Blaster" that would clean an old pan to new cast iron in a pass or two. In your case a couple coats of rust resistant primer will keep them from further damage. Love your channel, lucky kids. Give Granny a special scratch, she is a looker...
Good idea thank you
HAPPY EASTER to you and your family .
Thank you
I owned a 8N for years and it was a very good tractor But I also know of a friend of mine who killed himself on an 8N. He slipped under the back tire which his body was pulled under the rear differential crushing his chest. He was very experienced older man but it still killed him. Please take care when your son and you are operating that thing!! By the way, The fluid in the tire is calcium and it will rust your wheels out much faster.
Ok thank you
It's your tractor, so use it how you want - just know you might be replacing axles if you continue doing wheelies. 2n tractor axles are notoriously weak. Yours have already been replaced, both sides, at least once.
Ok thank you
How's it going....
We're a Tennessee farm family..... My uncle back about 40 years ago was doing that wheelie thing with one of those and it didn't have any roll bar or top f and the tractor flipped over on him burying him in the mud luckily we were able to get him out from under the tractor alive ...
Yeah I have heard a lot of that glad you guys got him out
Bonita la vida en la granja 👍🤠
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Lotta farmers have been killed by accidental wheelies. Especially going up hills with a wagon. A buddy of mine was plowing and threw it into 3rd instead of first, and the machine reared up and took off fast. Would have flipped over and killed him without the implement to stop it.
Wow that’s crazy
With all the revenue you are making from RUclips!!
You need to give Ralphy, a wage / royalty
Increase!!
Cheers
That’s what he would say
In wheel removal, I don't think it matters for a star pattern removal. If it were a head removal, it would be justified. Wheel removal though, Ralphie has it down.
Ok 👍
How are yall doing great you an your family take care see yall soon
Thank you
It doesn't matter what pattern you tighten or loosen the bolts. Since it's not a cylinder head, apart of the transmission, or engine that can crack or Warp if not tightened evenly. Especially when they're made of steel, and you're using sledgehammers to knock them off.
Ok thanks

Awesome
Jaunts to your tractor supply reminds me of going with dad to PEP BOYS to get car stuff..epic..
That’s funny
Be careful, popping wheels may be fun, tell you flip the tractor, farm accidents do happen. Put some weight in front of the tractor . Personally I had one death and one with a brain injury from farm accidents.
Yeah we need to thank you
Were made by Ford then when war broke out they contracted it out to a small company and I can't remember now due to old age. Only the ones that had money to buy extra luxuries had them mostly. Only have seen two FOMOCO ones and 3 to 5 after market ones. Want to say that catalog company is the ones that got the contract for the aftermarket parts. Used to be able to get anything from the catalog then it trimmed down to the car and truck market. Something Whitney. LMK sorry the memory isn't what it was.
Ok thank you your probably right
U always amaze me how u get those old vehicle's 🏃 ing Remember Safety 1st u always have your "SAFETY FLOPS"on. 😂😆🤣like you're 🎥 keepem rollin 👪"FAMILY FUN"✌️
Thank you
Was that a Brahms & List Bull butt heading the bail of straw?
An enjoyable view - thank you team Dude👍👍👍
Yeah he’s a Brauma
I’m from Canada we call them rims and tires. Never heard of hoops and casings. We make sausages with casings and shoot hoops. Lol
Love the channel.
Excellent parenting
That’s funny, most people don’t talk like me
Henry gouged for ever dollar he could as he paid the most for his employees, gave them housing, and made sure every child went to school. The long and short is that if he had not stood up for the working man, how long would it of been before a eight hour day came? A dollar a hour till trained at chevrolet and then ten cents a hour more when they considered you trained...highest paid were getting a dollar sixty five and you worked ten to twelve hour days where at ford, you had a eight hour day and if they asked you to work longer, time and a half... you started at five an got more as time went by... Saturdays were always time an a half so ford was not all that bad.... makes for some excellent reading material. now AS for loosening or tightening nuts or bolts... its absolutely important, I personally didn't think it was so important till no warning, the supervisor fired me on the spot! I have watched different good mechanics an they all demand the same
Oh wow . Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a good week
Loved this video, very interesting 🤔 The Family is great and the animals are fun too !! Be careful and stay safe !!
PS, kids are getting big too.
Thank you
I've only seen roofs like that on Ford tractors used by State D.O.T. road crews. Not sure if it is O.E.M. or aftermarket.
I do know it was a state road crew tractor
Loved this video guys I'm gonna send u a ford badge for the front of Tosh's tractor 👍just to finish the upgrade off of cos 👍well done guys keep up the good work 👌💖
That’s awesome thank you
Need pattern to where it'll push mud out and keep clean tire for traction. Other direction it'll fill with mud and just be slick. Just try pulling something on wet ground in forward then in reverse and you will see the difference.
Ok interesting
Yes you should let him win Yes it does matter loosening lugs love the channel and sleeper dude please please 🙏 for the love of God and all things wholly change that impact Gun Milwaukee makes a far superior tool try it out and tell me what you think 🤔 Ralphies the man you got good kids brother
I probably should, I would like to try it just not enough in the envelope
You Sir, are an excellent young man. The world needs more of this. I've been binge watching y'all for over a week now. Love the family, the animals and the content. We'll done!
Watch your language! Only wheels and tyres have tubes! Hoops and casings have bladders.
That’s funny
The love of family, working together getting things done. This is what has been lost in this day and time. The children cannot wait to get as far away from their parents as they can as soon as they can .why!! Because their parents want to be the child's friends, not parents. Or they just don't have time for the children, They need their me time.
Yes that’s true
Maybe you should inflate the tube somewhat before inserting it inside the tire, it would be easier and prevent it from being pinched between the tire and the rim. Oops, sorry, hoops and casings...
Good idea thanks
I can’t believe your wearing thongs while doing this kind of work!!!!!!!
Oh yeah
What a great find and save. Thank you for sharing your video with us. God bless from west Texas.
Thank you for watching
Be careful with this old tractor. They will roll over backwards if used improperly. My brother rolled one when he tried to pull a pickup from a ditch
Ok thank you
I busted a lot of tractor tires when I worked for a Goodyear truck tire center. Order only really matters when installing them. When removing them it don’t matter.
That makes sense
The old ones were “run flat” tires!
Hopefully, you changed the transmission and differential fluids.
Yes they were
The pattern ALWAYS matters when you’re tightening the lug nuts up on your hoops!!!😂😅
Exactly
Diesel creek has one of those same 🚜 tractors that he's wanting to sale. It's ford model M tractor to just like yours there that y'all are working on. It just needs some more attention.& painting done to it to be A matching set of Ford model M tractors.
That’s cool
250$ investment = 1 million views well worth it. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Exactly thank you
Taking them off doesn't matter. Putting them on you should go every other bolt. Doesn't really matter on those wheels.
Ok thank you
It saves them locking on the hub and not seating against the flang, aspecialy whith mag rim's/hoops,all the best to yous and your loved ones
Yes thank you I’m gonna tell him
