Heavy Brush with a Vintage Tractor

I really like your channel and your old ford tractor. I have a 1948 ford 8n I use for dragging logs and maintaining my gravel road. You do great work. Most of all, I like the christian values you show and uphold on your channel.

I was taught to grease a tractor before each use by my grandfather. I followed his guidance every day that I used my tractors. I used Chevron, Moly EP2 grease and wiped off every zerk fitting with a shop towel before greasing it.

My girlfriend asked what I was watching. I said, "watching a man drive a tractor". She said, "that's boring". Therein lies the difference between men and women!!!!

Never know how useful a tractor is with a front end loader till you got one. They are lifesavers

I had an old Ford 3000 like that that I restored and the levelers are still available ebay, or steiner tractor parts. After 50 years parts do wear out !!! You also have some problems in your steering box, front wheels shimmying and drg link moving while you drive, I think there is an adjustment on the steering gear box, tighten it up for better steering !!!

I noticed the worn out bolt on your support chains. These chains were only to stop the arms from swinging from side to side, or for casting fertiliser. When using mowers or implements' that "drag on the ground", it is better to put one or two, outside flat-bars on! These are 1.5" deep and 1/4" thick, and fit under the axel each side, then attaches to the ball joints at the end of the arms. Excellent Tractor.

Good Morning, I've been a Ford fan since learning about Henry Ford. Glad to see some blue iron. Now I'll watch your video.

I’ve got an old Ford 1300 not sure the year. Frankly don’t know much more about it other than the make and model. I have a neighbor who doesn’t have and animals to ‘mow’ her pasture so I do it for her every now and again. I’m 17 and have been doing it for a few years now. It’s really cool to me and I’m glad I’ve found your channel.

It was my best job in the world when I spent weekends along with my wife at her brothers newly acquired fruit farm, it had 1200 apple trees in an over grown orchard so my job with a smaller Massey Fergusson had a twin rotor skid cutter (brush hog) that I fought brambles young trees and everything nature had tried growing, but me happy as can be in the fresh air, smaller tractor and a million miles away from my weekday job in a factory.. Was a long time ago now but always remembered.. Thanks for your videos.. Ian -- UK.

I have ran several tractors such as yours and used stabilizer bars, I see you already have the setup to do that, just food for thought..thanks for all the good videos.

I was watching you put a plug in that tire and thought I’m surprised it’s a tubeless tire. Surprise it was not. Still it’s a beautiful classic Ford tractor!

I sure do like the simplicity of those early tractors. I have a Kubota M135GX. The operator manual is an inch thick. Inside the cab with all the buttons, gauges and levers it looks like the cockpit of a fighter jet.

Old Ford tractors are sure good old reliable beaters. We still have a fully working 1953 8N Jubilee onm the homestead here in MT.

Take the unexpected with a cup of joy keeps life interesting and I think why you had the trouble you did is because your little helper wasn’t there giving you directions..lol thanks for sharing your videos with us and God bless!

Great job rebuilding the tractor , sounds great 👍 !!!

Nice to see there's still plenty of life left in the old lady. Good tractors these 1000 series, enjoy.

I subscribed purely on your old Ford 3000 videos. Thanks for rehabilitating what we still use in rural Alabama.

Good to see Ole Blue doing work again!

I thought I was gonna die of old age before you ever got to the "Heavy Brush, etc." part!
