The 1952 8N Ford was my dad’s tractor. He and my grandpa bought it together new in 1953. It has always been in our family, and as a kid growing up, I always wanted to fix this tractor up, but it was the only tractor we had, and we couldn’t afford to do without it while it was being worked on.
My husband and I also used this tractor for years until we finally got a second tractor and could retire this one. I restored this tractor by myself and kept all the original parts except for the two rear rims.
