Ford 8N Vertical Exhaust Review 

I have a 640 and have thought about doing this but for the reason of mowing dry pastures here in Texas and not burning the whole county down.

Nice tractor. I don't like being gassed out when changing attachments either and often thought about the vertical set up. Thanks for posting.

Before rain caps we used coffee cans and put them over the exhaust when we weren’t using it.

You should make a video on how you route your rear light wires. Look neat

Thank you, nice looking tractor. One option I was looking to do on my 8n was to put a catylic convertor on it. There is room for it front of the foot stool. Just not sure how effective it would be as it needs to be at certain temperature to be effective.

Beautiful machine and exhaust. 17:21

Interesting. I wonder if anyone offers a roll bar as a safety devise for the 8n. I have used an 8n for finish mowing for years.

i just want you to let you know that your overrun clutch is damaging the inner thread for the pto cover cap. i have seen it on many 8n tractors because the tolerances are to tight. those overrun clutch designers have no glue what they are doing. so check your thread before its to late.

when haying the vertical is safer to prevent fires I've been told . . .

Great video, where did you got that exhaust tape? Is that the same the wrap on motorcycle exhausts?

I have a similar one on my to30. I had to drill a small hole on the low point. With a rain cap it fills with rain when left outside.

What is the new shiny thing on your PTO output? I was not raised with Tractors so I have no clue. It looks like an extension, but why do I see so many of them/why are they installed? My '54 has the updated PTO shaft for the correct size more new implements. Do I need that device as well?

Do they have a chrome one?

Where did you buy your alternator bracket

I wouldn't want exhaust in my face

I watched a guy use aluminum foil.

I hate em going around edge of fields ,no matter how much I trim my trees back I'm still getting into tree branches
