BARN FIND 1950 Ford 8n Tractor! Will It RUN AND Brush Hog?

I just lost my father to a heart attack 25 minute's before this video was posted and we always used to watch your new videos after coming in at night from working on his car or his truck or whatever, and i didnt get to watch it with him. So now im watching it for him, thankyou for these videos derek, theyre just going to be another one of the good memories with my dad, from the very bottom of my heart, thankyou❤

Derek, this is probably my favorite video you've ever posted. My pawpaw farmed until he was 94 years old, and he just couldn't anymore. He ALWAYS dressed just like you in this video, and he was about your size. Seeing you kneeling beside that front tire actually made me shed a tear for the Ole man. Who would have thought that a video of an old tractor would bring back such great memories. Thank you for this one. Mike.

One of life's little pleasures: Gettin' on an old tractor, and hoggin' till the sun goes down. Beer somehow tastes even better after that.

75 yo Canadian man here, who grew up on a mixed fruit orchard in a small town in the Okanagan Valley. My uncle owned a 20 acre orchard, my parents 10 acres, my maternal grandmother 5 acres, all neighbouring each other. My uncle Don was a mining engineer who took a job in the mid-1950s with the then-new Inland Natural Gas company that was bringing gas to the Valley, and my dad left his job at a local packinghouse to operate all the orchards while Don was away. I was 9 ~10 [?] years old when I was first allowed to drive my uncle's Ford 8N, and it was my favourite power plant for general hauling, rototilling, spraying & mowing until I left home at age 17 to study physics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in the fall of 1965. Hearing this 8N running again brought memories to my mind & tears to my eyes. Thank you, VGG...

My great grandma wanted a tractor for their house because she was tired of working the land by hand, and so my great grandpa sold one of his service stations in 1954 to buy a 1949 8N. My great grandma returned the favor the next year by "saving up 2 months of grocery money" to buy my grandpa a 94 winchester to go hunting with his buddies. These old fords make me smile whenever I see one, and I'm so glad to watch you work on one.

One of the cleanest 8Ns I've seen in a long time. My Dad bought me one like it sixty-three years ago for my 10th birthday, gave me ten minutes of instruction and I was a farmer.

I ain't gonna lie, I got a little misty when that old Ford fired up. My PeePaw (Grandfather) had a 9N he bought second hand after he came home from Korea. He lost an arm over there, but didn't keep that man from doing anything. I've got it now, it's never been out of Tennessee. It's probably only worth 1000 bucks or so, but i wouldn't take a Million for it. I fire it up every so often and take it for a ride through the hay field. Thanks for the trip to a great time of my life with my PeePaw. Love you brother.

I love this guy, he is so positive and funny. I don't know the first thing about cars, don't even have a driving license but I really enjoy watching! Thanx

Derik Bieri you are the Bob Ross of automotive. Thanks so much for your great content. Always praying for you and your family.

a man has a day off, and instead of drinking wobblepops and enjoying the sunshine, he's fixing a tractor for us

Cool to see the old tractor running again. There's just something awesome about old school tractors. No computers just simple

As an older feller that found myself watching every video I can find by VGG...I did the right thing and subscribed! I even found my way to the bleep bloop section to express my thanks to you and your family! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing it with us!

I love how Derick tries to play it off like he is just too lazy to bring his other tractor over. He just can't stand seeing something sitting around not running! The man loves to save things and give them new life.

Love it when a guy uploads an hour + long video for me to watch on my weekends. 👍🏻👍🏻

As a suburban boy who moved to the country, I have no use for an 8N but I want one. They look happy to be what they are!

When I was young I thought I was a pretty good mechanic but after watching you I finally realized I know less than nothing. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos. Thank you.

The Ford 8N was the first tractor I ever drove. It belonged to my grandfather and it was my first step to driving large farming equipment until I joined the Air Force in 1973. At 73 years old I still miss being out in the open field, riding the tractor and being left to my own devices. Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to assume that Derek hasn't sat down to watch TV in eleventy niner million years, he probably doesn't even know how to work the remote cause he's never seen one. The guy is ALWAYS on the go, working his tail off, sun up to well after sun down. Much love and respect brother, you're a damn beast!

At the 24:10 mark we hear a humble beautiful soul appreciating what he has built. We love you too Derek!

58 mins. and she runs! That, ladies and gentlemen, is United States of America manufacturing back when that meant something. Derek one of your best. Diagnostics at its best. I am a complete nincompoop when it comes to internal combustion engines but thanks to you and can begin to follow along pretty good.
