Lots of good variety there and some pretty rare pieces too. Neat to see an industrial there also. I have the 340A which is the updated version of the 340 – looks like someone changed out the front bolster, axle, and steering to the later welded front axle from a 340A/B, which was a much more durable setup with less hardware to wear out.
I like the Ford conversion to tractors. The V8 blocks must be a powerplant upgrade. I remember a well driller (drove strainers) using the axle from a Ford as the driving weight.
I had a 8N with a Sherman overdrive. It had a low, standard, high range. My dad used to say it went so fast, the front end would get home five minutes ahead of the rear end! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Toby I think I'm going to make a mesh basket to put on my J D to put a Ford 8 N in so it looks like it ate the Ford and is blowing g it out its s** because I wouldnt take 15 F look rd tractors for one of my deeres.
Great collection of Ford tractors! But my favorite ford tractor of all time got to be the 1965 654 super4 county tractor, maybe because as a kid growing up in Puerto Rico, I used to see them at work on the sugar mills industries around the island. But beautiful collection nonetheless!👌😎👍
8:32 EnFo is "English Ford". Have a bunch of stuff (cause i'm European :)) ) that's stamped with that. That's before FoMoCo times. That's an oldie piece. Cool, cool, cool. 11:07 old Chase style tracks. Nice!
2:00 side biased tractors are so cool. You'd expect it to be simple to modify any tractor to do that, but it ain't that easy. A lot of noggin power goes into making a good one that's not gonna tip, is able to do all the stuff the regular one does… AND not break the bank making it. If i had more time and dough, i'd start collecting them, they're so much cooler (to me) than regular tractors.
The numbering of the N series Ford follows. 9N started production in 1939. The 2N in 1942. In 47 they were far enough into the production year that the 8N was released in July that year. Deerborn was owned by Ford. The tractor at 9:30 is not an 8N. It looks to be a 2N. The 2N had only one brake pedal on the right side while the 8N had both brake pedals on the right side. Tractor at 10:48 looks like a 9N. That's based on the I beam radius arms. Also the huge wheel center on the rears was only used the 9&2Ns. It's very possible to have serial number miss match. The N series engines would bolt up to any of the N series transmissions. Yea they lost a little HP on 8N by installing a 9 or 2N engine but it could be cheaper than a rebuild. The Ford Dexta and the Power Major were made in England. Like your work Squatch.
That was my 871 select o speed I redid this summer after watching a lot of your videos I got the bug to try my hand at fixing one up myself awesome to see it come full circle
I have a Jubilee with a factory installed Pippin Backhoe, a Wagner loader and a Sherman over, under and direct drive transmission.
those two Jubilees at 14:00 did not have the ford stamped in the fenders.
9N came out in 1939, 2N came out in 1942, 8N came out in 1948
Do the ford lawn tractors to brother I’m a ford man and I love the old lawn tractors

Sunday morning LAUGH OUT LOUD moment, “Even these suck up the John Deere’s.”
Have you ever rebuilt any Ford N series tractors on video? Some reason I also liked the N series tractors.

Great review, esp the "Bug" tractors. Star of the show? Has to be the single-row corn picker, thanks (1952 Ferguson TE20 owner)
Great video, thanks,ENFO means English Ford. Cheers from UK.
The ford dexta is probably a ford layman with the simms pump
Nobody brought any TW Fords?
Thank you for your time.
Where did the steel come from to make these gems?
The 2 Golden Jubilee V8 swaps also have sequential engine tags.
Thank You for sharing

Very interesting walk around on the Ford tractors. I helped mix and pour concrete with one of those rear mount mixers. That was many years ago.

Nice walk round of the Ford line up 👌

ENFO means English Ford. Stamped on all parts made in the UK
Enfo is the abb. For the English Fortson tractor line ronrdzl
That is the most overrated tractor ever made. Massey should have Brund the blueprints.
It is a Perkins 144dzl the super dexter was a 152 Perkins ronrdzl mbnz
FANTASTIC! Thanks Squatch👍

On that power major the drawbar says “enfo” which means english fordson and that had a raised pto option

Scratched the itch !!
I really like the walkarounds. My dad framed with Fords we had 2 6000 selectospeeds a 7000 and an 8600
