Ford Tractor Parts: Ford 8N Model, Used And Antique

A cornerstone of the agriculture community, Ford Tractors have sewn more fields in America than Mother Goose has read nursery rhymes. As Ford sold its tractor line to Fiat in 1993, their older models, most notably the Ford 800 and Ford 600, have become collectors items among farming enthusiasts nationwide. Besides obtaining a Ford 800, Ford 600 or the much sought after Ford 8N, is acquiring these antique tractor parts. Ford tractor parts are no longer in production by the company itself, therefore, avid collectors and distributors refurbish or sell used Ford tractor parts. Used Ford tractor parts are quite difficult to find, with only a handful of private retailers distributing the gaskets, carburetors and other assorted Ford 8N tractor parts and later models.

Yesterday's Tractor Company (YTC) carries a plethora of Ford tractor parts at reasonable prices. Offering Ford 8N tractor parts, as well as Ford 800, Ford 600 and a few other coveted antiquities, YTC offers customers comprehensive carburetor kits and reground crankshafts. They even offer cosmetic antique tractor parts such as the original tool box that was mounted to the machines. Not only specializing in Ford tractor parts, YTC distributes parts from John Deere to Kabota and beyond.

The last year of production of Ford 8N Tractor Parts was in 1952, making parts somewhat hard to come by. Thankfully for tractor folk there is Phil's Tractor & Supply.
