Shed 248 #1 Posted September 22, 2021 So here's the new to me 8n I had just posted a quick picture in the huge wheel horse posting spot and kinda was told to remove it so I did so here's the tractor lol. It's just a ford 8n 1951 that was restored I was told by the aaca museum in hersey. A friend bought it kinda used it but the paint they used must not have been great so that's peeling off. But either way it is a great tractor. Of course it doesn't run 6v system needs to be gone through from sitting and they never upgraded the 3 point hitch system so other then that it's great. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shed 248 #6 Posted September 22, 2021 Yeah I know the frame axles anything painted red is good it's just the 8n tan that's pealing so really not much to paint if I wanted too. But for 800 bucks it's a great tractor buy I thought I have a 1952 ford f1 as well kinda think it's cool to have the tractor and the truck from the same era almost year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
