OK - there are a lot of new faces around here - lets see what ya got! All Ford owners lets us know! Be it 9N, 8N 860, 941, 4000, or later Ford-NH!

I've got an 8N that I wouldn't trade for the world! Not fancy, but a real workhorse. Trying to find an 861 to restore (or most any 801 Series).

John-in-Ga · 05-06-2006, 10:15 AM

I’m not a new face around here, but I'll try posting a picture of my Ford. I’m using a slightly different format for my picture just to show that, when it comes to posting pictures on this board, there is more than one way to “skin the cat”.

My Ford is a 1969 3000 diesel. I bought it used about five years ago. It ain’t pretty and shinny, but it gets the job done. That is a Ford moldboard turning plow hanging on the back (3 14s). Yes, I “broke” land with it this year.

OOOOO! I want one of those plows! I've been looking for a 1 or 2 bottom plow for a couple years! NONE around that anyone will sell (and when I DO find one - it's outta my price range!). Not many around these parts. Looks good John!

This is our 9600 planting corn a few weeks ago.

I just got this old Ford 3400? Industrial from a neighbor that
decide a farm, well, 5 acres and 2 horses, were to much work,
shucks, he just moved here (Mid-Tn) 8 years ago from Ill. where
he owned Crystal Manor, where he had quite a horse operation.

Anyway, he said it was a 3400 Ind and from what I can find out,
that's pretty close, maybe someone else here knows better than both of us, speaking of knowing, I'd like to get as much info on this tractor as anyone here can give, I'm working on it as much as
I can without spending to much, $ is tight right now, right now I need to know about the wiring, as the person that painted it didn't re-wire it, now nothing electrical works, so, if I had a wiring diagram, I could really get something done.

So, check it out, and give me some feedback.

Welcome to Tractor Forum, mrkool. Good to have you with us.

Your tractor is definitely an industrial version and I can’t see anything that would dispute it being a 3400. If you hadn’t already, go to this site and see if you can find a serial number and with it you can confirm a little more about your tractor.

Oaktree

Deciphering the information on Oaktree is a little confusing first time or two you go through the process, but if you find the serial number post back with it and we’ll be able to tell you a little more about your tractor.

Once you confirm you model number, you can get a service manual from New Holland. Getting a operator’s and service Manuel is something strongly recommended. See your local New Holland dealer or call 1-800-635-4913.

The service manual will have a wiring diagram. I’m looking at mine now. There is a difference in wiring diagrams between tractors with “A” & “B” Prefixed Serial numbers and those with “C” Prefixed Serial numbers.

Here is another good place to get your manuals! Looks like a great machine. Welcome to the board!

I just joined the group and actually just got my little jewel of a tractor. I grew up on a D-15 Allis Chambers but I could not pass on this 1952 8N Ford. I love the little tractor.

Nice looling tractors, Jeff! That 3930 looks like it needs a new home *wink* wink*!

Thanks for the photos, guys!

Jeff R · 10-31-2006, 09:24 PM

Here's my 9600 moving hay today and my 8530.

pgfaini · 11-07-2006, 09:59 PM

I've got a 1969 4000 All Purpose diesel. It's a British model, not just made there, but the type used there. The major differences I've noticed are:
36" rims(13.9x36 tires) held by six 3/4" wheel lugs instead of eight 5/8" as on ours.
The fenders go all the way down to the floorboards, and the headlights are in the grill, not mounted on the radiator shell.
It uses chain and turnbuckle lower arm stabilizers, and It's also got a feature I haven't seen elswhere, a disk-type, transmission hand brake. A lot more convenient than bending down to engage the ratchet on the turning brakes. Had it about 23 yrs. Not pretty, but In pretty good shape, (except for the sun-faded blue paint.)

I'll see if I can post a few pictures.

Don't forget to post some pictures!! We are a very visual crowd here.

Sounds like a nice tractor Steamnjn23!

Welcome to the Tractor Forum! Hope you come back often and join it on discussions or telling stories of how you are using your new tractor.
