  • An uncle's definition of Eternity was 'Plowing 80 acres with a two bottom plow'.
  • A man and his dad spending a rainy day working on a tractor. How much better could it get 👍
  • I did the side to side swap on my Dad's IH 424 when I was 15 years old. Slightly larger tire and FULL of calcium chloride. I did it all by my lonesome self, but looking back from age 70 now, its a wonder to me. I had to swap it back later, again by myself. OH MY!
  • I’m sure that you know how lucky you are to have a dad like Senior!
  • @ThisOldFarm
    I always enjoy watching you and your dad work together. You two are both so calm and collected, it makes for a very enjoyable video to watch. Look forward to seeing how the 8N does with the plow in the ground! Almost makes me want to get dad’s little N series going now!
  • I'm with you on the grease being better than anti-seize. Anti seize is great for smearing on the mechanics' creeper in the next bay so he gets a handful when he picks his creeper up! haha! !Enjoyed watching you and Sr. work on the 8N!
  • @markrepka8669
    There are two books on e bay that i recommend pertaining to setting up a plow. Better Plowing and Plowing at it's best both published by International Harvester. Tells exactly what is needed to match up a tractor to a plow. Inside width of wheels compared to plow cut being the major factor. Tells exact measurements for each size plow no matter the manufacturer. Happy Plowing !
  • Hey Toby,,always great to see you and Senior working together. And yes some of us, watch every minute and read every comment! Thats why when i need a Squatch fix,i rely on the 1113 build.

    I wish handling the tires/rims was always that easy. I had to replace tires and wheels on my sons 8N. I had to beat the bolts out with an air hammer and 2lb dead blow. Those things get really crusty over time on the original top hat style rims. Love seeing some 8N love on the channel and hope to see you and senior plowing with it this summer.
  • @ron827
    Great teamwork and you both have a pleasing presense on camera.

    Love those two-tone paint schemes on those old 8Ns - same for the old Ferguson 35s. Great work on the Ford!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

    I am still surprised at how versatile the old tractors are, and I'm pretty sure thats why they're still in use to this day. Easy to work on, easy to mod to address specific tasks... And a random thought, yeah my grandfather grew up on a farm that used only mules ....well, he started working mules to plow fields in the 1890s, and he called all tractors 'Mules'.
  • Toby, great to see you and Sr together in a video. I think you have it adjusted for plowing. That’s the way my 8N spacing is set and it plows great. Can’t wait to see the 8N in action. Enjoyable video. Thanks
  • I spent thousands of hours on an 8N growing up. We moved the front and rear wheels multiple times a year. Rears went out to 88" and fronts in to 44" to cultivate 22" rows. Then back to regular setting (not sure inches) to mow and rake hay and do field work. We had a set of steel lug dual wheels that we used when loading manure from the corral. Thanks for the memories
  • Thanks for the video Toby! That is a sweet little tractor. My brother in law just picked up a 48 8n and a 9n. The 8n is a bit of a project but runs amazing. The 9n was bought off the original owners grandson and is ready to be put to work. They are handy little machines to have. Cheers
  • This comment isn't about today's video, but about your detailed description of the removal and re-installation of the PTO shaft on your Farmall M from a couple of years ago. I had to replace the bushing at the front end of the shaft and was able to do it because of the detail in your video. I did not have to pull the lid off. Thank You, Ellis Kinney
