I used to love pissing the nosey neighbors off with my 69 Chevelle SS 454 with a 671 whiner out the hood! I moved and bought 20aces and built a house and shop and don't care bout a damn neighbor! I want to fix up a old tractor like that. You spent some time on that and it shows! Awesome!
Nice work! I bought my 1939 Ford 9n about 8 years ago and did the red chassis and grey hood, fenders, and wheel hubs. It's a great color scheme versus being all red! Sure wish I had the tractor for fun. Could use some fun to break up the day :) However, I restored the Danuser post hole digger, 2-bottom plow, boom pole, and installed the Sherman step-down transmission for it. Its a true work horse even 80+ years later!
I absolutely love these V8 conversions ! However, I never see any of them actually working in the dirt ! Would love to see and, Of course, hear one of, doing some plowing and discing.
Dad had a set of 8N,, all flathead, a 4 cylinder as it came, one came with a very broken not rebuildable 4cyl and the 6cyl conversion kit that helped him install once got a ford flathead 6cyl, and the v8 one smoked like crazy when got it but after a freshen up was great
Either way you shouldn’t mind being behind any tractor because they are usually making food that you eat and farmers do everything for the world and people aren’t smart enough to realize that
Man I LOVE that tractor! We had a 1941 Furgeson Ford 9N and it was part of the family. I sold it when I moved south and wish I wouldn't have. Was it hard to convert? Did you use the same transmission etc? Thanks for posting this!
Thank You, I used a kit www.awesomehenry.com/. It was not difficult at all. Transmission is original. I only needed to figure out where I could install a fuel tank as I wanted a tilting front end and and the fuel away from engine.
Great conversion! Really neat tractor for exhibitions and for cruising around on sundays! Don't you got Clutch and Transmission Problems with this amount of torque or did you do some modifications?
ford agriculture I only had to modify the clearance for the throw out bearing and lengthened the rod to the pedal. I’ve seen other conversions hold up under torque, so I thought I’d give it a shot.
A 1996 351W (5.8ltr). I took all the fuel injection off of it and put a carburetor and manifold on. I used a Awesome Henry conversion set up which allowed me to bolt the engine straight to the tractor using the 9N clutch disk. Everything comes in the kit, it actually lengthens the tractor by about 4 inches.
Jason Sullivan thanks for replying. If I did this it would be mainly for a cool project. I was just asking around because currently we only have one tractor which is our 9n so I was trying to understand if it could be used for farm stuff too or if it's best to wait until we have another tractor. I've been debating on a v8 conversion or a classic rebuild on it
