KE8NK, Don "Da Bear" has spent the summer rebuilding his 1950 Ford 8N Tractor! We start with some "before" type photos that show the tractor prior to it's restoration. The tractor has been in regular use for many years. The primary use has been for mowing and brush hogging, however, it has also been used to pull up the Field Day tower.
This project got started on July 9, 2007.
The restoration project was completed on or about October 3, 2007. Near the end of the project, Da Bear commented on one of the CW skeds that he was having difficulty with the lettering. It is obvious that he managed to overcome the difficulties!
Here's another look at "before".
Here is the "after" or finished product!
The Ford 8N tractor has become a legend amongst collectors and daily users.
Congratulations to Don on a super job! Thanks for sharing the photos!
