It consists of a piston pump driven directly by the PTO shaft and a self-contained hydraulic unit with ram cylinder and control linkage. The hydraulics system of the 8N is also powerful and reliable. Backed by the constant-mesh helical gear 4-speed, the Ford-Funk tractor was a more versatile machine. It is estimated that only about 5,000 8N tractors were fitted with this Funk conversion. Most of the Funk conversion kits were sold and installed at the dealer. Glover teamed up with the Funk Aircraft Company and began manufacturing and selling the Funk conversion kits for N-Series tractors. In 1948, the Glover Equipment Company started converting Ford N-Series tractors to use Ford's 95 horsepower industrial 6-cylinder flathead engine. This tractor is equipped with the Funk 6-Cylinder Conversion Package. The standard powerplant for the 8N model was a 120ci 4-cylinder flathead with an output of 27hp. This fully restored 1951 Ford 8N (showing 7.9 hrs.) has been in a local collection for years. It was also the first Ford tractor with the classic 'Red Belly' paint scheme. ![]() ![]() The 8N had upgrades from the earlier 2N model including an available 4-speed manual transmission and a 3-point hitch that was equipped with an new upgrade called 'Position Control' that allowed the user to set and keep the height of an implement.
