Keep the random car stuff coming! I love your automotive shenanigans, I was auto tech for many years before I got into building PC so much respect broski!
I have three old Forn 8N tractors, and one 1953 NAA Golden Jubilee (Similar to the 8N, but with an OHV engine vs the flathead). The NAA works almost every day here on the farm. Amazing that a 69 year old piece of equipment is still going strong, and modern equipment breaks down quite often.
@@insanity-vr6vu Of course, complexity is the enemy of reliability. But even the quality of materials used was far superior back then. These tractors spent around 70 years outside in all kinds of weather, and the only rust is some very minor surface rust that can be literally washed off! Modern materials wouldn't last a decade or two!
i love that the driver seat is held up by one long leaf spring. Why use four leaf springs one for each wheel, when you can have only one in the seat, right?
holy heck i remember seeing some people joke about having to crank start old vehicles like that, but i always just thought that was them joking about how weird things were back then, didn't think that's actually how they did it! imagine trying to steal something like that, you'd be exhausted before you pulled out the driveway lmao
I learned to drive on one of these.....10 years old......I loved it....but the clutch/brake..... I say brake in jest of course...it would eventually slow down if I stood on the breaky thingy with my whole 10 year old weight......I graduated to a 1940's I think....Fordson Major which was sheer luxury.......yours I notice didn't have the wheel strakes fitted.....with them sticking down it would pull all sorts of implements through mud that the Fordson major would balk at.
I'm not proud of this but awhile back I fell on hard times and my vehicle got taken off the rd. So I drove my 1946 farm all A back and from work for about a year. And it gets really cold here in Ontario canada
Don't use a mix of heating oil and petrol. Tractor vaporising oil is still readily available. It is now known as aviation kerosene - it''s what jet airplanes run on. exactly the same stuff except made to better standards with regard to ash and other impurities. This video would have been a lot better if you had let us hear the engine running.
