On AC I only now the older ones, I think they are kinda crude compaired with say IH, JD or Ford.

Only Cockshutts I've seen have been at shows.

I've seen Whites around but know nothing of them

Thought Gleaner only made combines.

Ultradog MN · Aug 9, 2011

Interesting to see the 8N listed as the best/longest lasting model of the Fords.
8N engine was maybe a 2000 - 2500 hr engine before it needed an overhaul. EVERY OTHER FORD would beat that by a mile, especially the later ones like the 6600 etc which would go 8-12,000 hrs before needing an overhaul.

still see many more N's out there probably because they are so easy to work on. many have been rebuilt quite a few times. newer ones are better, but these were built to be simple and simple wins most times.

Actually I read somewhere that it was determined that the 2 most significant tractors in US history were the Ford 8N and the JD 4020D

Ultradog MN · Aug 10, 2011

Doesn't surprise me that a Ford N would be on that list. Though I'd have to say it was the 9N not the 8N. It was the 9N that first came out with the Ferguson system and 3 point hitch that made it such a notable tractor. Though the 8N did have several improvements over the 9N none of them were as important as the the 3 point to begin with.
