Vehicle Description
STK 3967 1950 Ford Tractor 8N
Ford built the 8N series tractor from 1947 through 1952. It was a
workhorse and became the top-selling individual tractor of all time
in North America. The 8N had upgrades from the earlier 2N model
including an available 4-speed manual transmission and a 3-point
hitch that was equipped with an new upgrade called 'Position
Control' that allowed the user to set and keep the height of an
implement. It was also the first Ford tractor with the classic 'Red
Belly' paint scheme. This partially restored 1950 Ford 8N (showing
133 hrs.) is an outstanding example of this classic. This 8N
chassis was equipped with running boards and the exterior was
carefully refinished in 2010. The red/gray color scheme is the 'Red
Belly' format. Power is furnished by a 120ci 4-cylinder flathead
that claimed to output 23 'drawbar' horsepower' and 27 'PTO'
horsepower. It is backed by the optional Sherman constant-mesh
helical gear 4-speed transmission. Drum brakes are used on the rear
wheels and the tires are in excellent condition - the rear tires
being 12 ply. The hydraulics system of the 8N is very powerful and
reliable. It consists of a piston pump driven directly by the PTO
shaft and a self-contained hydraulic unit with ram cylinder and
control linkage. Our restored Ford 8N tractor is ready for your
next parade/show, or it will go to work for you tomorrow. ALL
VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
