I like using and showing old tractors, but also like the implements people show with them.
I was wondering what was the oddest implement you've ever saw on a 8N? I was looking at a ford tractor book a while back and saw a picture of a 8N with a big and I mean big snow plow on it. I would love to have one of those. Looked like one of those things on the front of a old steam engine.

While working as an electrical contractor inside area 51, I saw a three point hitch device that was used for pulling captured flying saucers from on hanger to another. I'm not sure if this is something that was made here or if it was standard equipment on the saucers.

Looking through ford tractor book few days back and saw hand-clutch.

The book stated it was intended for the operator to work along side the tractor and when he needed to stop it, he would push a lever next to the gear selector down. Of course, the operator had to put himself infront of the drive wheel to get to the hand clutch. Sounds pretty unsafe, so I think maybe it was just used to quickly turn on and off the pto for belt pully applications, like the chord wood saw.

Don't know about oddest, but this is one of the neatest things I've seen: A piece of 4" pipe, about 3-3 1/2 feet long, with some brackets welded on to hang on the 3-point. The bottom on the back side is notched out, and there's a small pair of discs behind it for hilling. A little wooden crate (about the size that grapes used to come in) sits near the top, and there's a seat welded on the back. It's a potato planter, obviously home made, that I picked up at an auction a few years back. Someone, in my case my daughter, sits back there, picks the potatos out of the box, and drops them down the pipe. It works great. She used to love it when she was 7, but now that she's 15, she's a little less thrilled.

That brings back memories of planting potatoes with my grandfather. He had all horse drawn implements from his youth and we drew them with his Farmall 400. He passed away ten years ago now. We just loaned out his old "Toys" to a friend of mine with oxen. It is so much fun in this modern day and age to play with old Toys.

It's funny when at 7 you can amase them and at 15 they amase you!! My 15 year old daughter is getting so smart now that I ask her questions, when it comes to the computer she put me to shame. Mark H.
