I can remember doing similar things with an 8N. If the front end would get light I would throw the sand tubes from the back of the pickup across the hood to keep it down. It's amazing that tractor kept ticking all those years.
We had a Farmall H that was always hooked to the mixer grinder. It was only used for that, rolling electric fence wire with a homemade belt pulley attachment, and pulling the grain cart. I loved grinding day because that old tractor just purred and seemed to have a personality. The only thing better was running it in road gear back to the wheat field.
It never had a battery in it that I remember. We always just hooked onto it and pulled it. It was always running before the hood left the shed. I laugh now because for all those years I didn't know that a muffler was an option on them. We were just too tight to have such nonsense.
I was so sad when we retired the H because it kept overheating. Looking back now I am sure it just needed a head gasket. One day it was just gone. When I asked where it went I was told the junk man came and got it. He was the same one who got our green 5 window Chev pickup. I was so sad I felt like a dog had died.
I bought an M of my own to use as a loader tractor. It doesn't hold the same hook that old H did, but I still flash back every single time I get on it.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
