I don’t know if the 467 baler is a sq or round bale baler,but if it’s a sq bale baler that ole 8 n just might run it, i’ve rode a many hours on a 8n tractor . My uncle has one that i’m tring to talk him out of that,s just been setting around in his back yard.You might just hook that baler up to that old tractor just to see what it would do, there sure made tough& be around from along time.

Doug answers:

I looked into this a while back……….and the simple answer is yes. Yes, but it is not an efficient way of generating electricity. Car alternators need to run at HIGH rpm to be effective……. So they are overdriven by at least a 3-1 ratio. Big crank pulley, small alternator pulley……..usually 6,000 to 9,000 rpm operating speed. A better thing to use would be a permanent magnet motor, or generator. Older tractors like the Ubiquitous Ford 8n series usually have one, and alot of pre 60′s GM cars and trucks have one too.

Approximately $2500.

Doug answers:

There are conversion kits to give the Ford 9N, 2N, and 8N a live PTO.

Parts for the Ford 8N are easier to get than the 631 and 801, however both the 631 and 801 have higher horsepower and capacity than the 8N.

The Ford 801 has either a gas or diesel 4 cylinder engine, rated at 63.7 engine HP and 44 PTO HP.

The Ford 631 is part of the Ford 601 series that is available in gas or diesel, rated at 48.4 engine HP, and 32 PTO HP.

However the Ford 631 was a variant of the Ford 601 series that did not have a PTO, so unless you are going to employ a secondary motor to provide rotational force for your bush hog, the 631 will not work for this application.

The 801 is likely your best bet for performance and specs, however the 8N is a little cheaper to own and keep up.

Doug answers:

Ford 8N built from 1947-1952 Drawbar horse 21.95 PTO horse 23.24 (there is no way to tell what year this tractor is unless you can get the serial number but it is an 8N. 2Ns and 9Ns were all dark grey not grey with red)

Doug answers:

It sounds like your problem is fuel related. To know for sure turn the fuel off and take the air duct off that connects to the carb and spray some starting fluid in the carb while cracking, if it wants to run on starting fluid then you know for sure. Make sure fuel is getting to the carb (the line might be clogged from debris in the tank or something) if fuel is getting to the carb then the carb is most likely just dirty and needs a cleaning.

Doug answers:

V8 fords are 0.015, six’s are 0.025 in I would try those….or this site says 0.015 in. Http://www.ytmag.com/atrp/specs/ford.htm

Doug answers:

Close your tractor all the way in and adjust the plow to your tractor. You want the tip of your plow point to be away from the right wheel the same distance plus one inch from where you tractor tire will be rolling.

Doug answers:

Wow, thats a good one. Have you tried Ebay or other like sites? How about checking farm auctions/sales in your area? I’d begin by looking there, if you don’t find one, then perhaps ask around at said sale…maybe someone has one they don’t know what to do with. =)

Doug answers:

Just type in what you did here 1972 ford tractor 2000 series in the search box and i come up with a lot of pages here only one

Doug answers:

Uuuhhhhhh tire size ????
And if you buy one it should tell you on the side it should say max psi ???

Doug answers:

No. The Ford 9N was one of the most built tractors in the world. In excellent condition its worth about 3K-3500 with no attachments. I just bought one about 3 months ago for $1000 with a landscape rake and back blade. Its in rough shape(visually) but runs like a dream.

Mine has a PTO.
