> The advantage [Fords] had was the 3pt hitch well before anybody else had it. Steaming pile of poo compared to International's 2-point fast hitch. You could hook up to implements without ever leaving the seat. And, it offered power roll and azimuth adjustments, as well as lift and pushdown.

Re: [MBZ] New arrival at Okie Acres

Those old "Johnny Popper" tractors are neat because the engine is essentially half of a 4 cylinder engine. When they're idled down you can hear where the other 2 cylinders would normally fire, "pop, pop, miss, miss, pop, pop, miss, miss." Theres one in town with a loader on it, its smaller, a

Re: [MBZ] New arrival at Okie Acres

LOL Fords of the '50s were puny little things. The advantage they had was the 3pt hitch well before anybody else had it. The ability to lift implements from the hitch was an advantage for smaller farms but no real use for the huge western farms. -Curt On Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 8:55:24

I knew little of the older JD diesel tractors until one day when I was in the generator business and we had a generator rental to deliver. When we did so there was no way to get it off the Landoll trailer we had delivered it on. It was a 350kW unit that weighed about 10,000 pounds. We sold it

Yes the grey & red,Ford tractors,were 8N's. They had light front ends & would flip in hilly fields of NE PA. Hill farmers,used John Deere because tricycle front ends,were heavier- some even added,weights to front end Dwight Giles Jr. Wickford RI On Wed, Apr 29, 2020, 8:55 PM Dan Penoff via

A lot of the farmers I worked with as a kid had the old Ford tractors - the ones that were red and gray (N series?) I can recall driving more than my share of those around, and they seemed quite bulletproof and strong. A few of the more prosperous farmers had the blue models. I don’t know if

Re: [MBZ] New arrival at Okie Acres

Beware of leaking injectors or feed lines on JD's that have them inside the engine itself. My Dad's 'new' JD was basically a lemon, and ended up filling the crankcase with diesel fuel before needing expensive engine work. It was also somewhat puny compared to the older tractors he was used to.

Re: [MBZ] New arrival at Okie Acres

I wonder if it will pickup a whole car if I put the forks under the middle. That would be great but I don’t think this one is big enough for that. With forks on it if the weight is further out from the loader pin it won’t lift as much. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 29, 2020, at 5:53 PM, Dan
