Fun fact. In 1989 Funk Manufacturing was acquired by Deere & Co. It’s now known as the John Deere Coffeyville Works.

We love our 1948 Ford 8n (family owned on our property since new) and 1957 Workmaster. Both great old Ford tractors. We’ve made lots of videos on our channel of using them to maintain our homestead. Amazing reliability.

Had a restored 1956 8n. Still have the tool box that bolts under the hood. Also still have the front wheels and 6volt generator system if anyone happens to be looking for these parts.

Its not a v-6 engine, it’s an inline 6 engine.

I think a V-6 3 litre engine would be perfect in there. Our neighbour had one with straight 6, took rear ends out. They have no bull gears just big pinion gear & it would twist them off. Thanks I am from Ontario. Gas up here is 1.60/litre X 4.54 +

I’ve got a 1950 8n with the standard inline 4, and a Hupp auxiliary transmission. It’s a great little tractor! I love seeing all the old tractors still doing work, and being loved!

I've never heard of a Hubb auxiliary transmission. Can you explain where it was inserted in the drive train and any other details about it?

If I'm not mistaken, the narrator called the OHV Inline 6 a OHV V6.....🤔

I saw a better funk sell in larned Kansas at Scott Auctoin last year for only 650$ she was rode hard, but complete.If you can make this with that, I bet you could make that one great if you can find it and buy it. I bet Jim Froetchner over there remember who bought it. I know the flatheads are much less rare .

They was bad for flipping backward with only the 4 cylinder motor. I can only imagine how much easier it would be to flip it with more power

I've always been fascinated by the Funk conversions, but have wondered what role they actually played in farm life. The N series tractors are good tractors, but the drive train was built to handle 20 horsepower. Doubling that really must put a strain on that drive line. I'm wondering under what farm conditions or jobs a farmer could take advantage of the available 100 horsepower without breaking this little tractor?

it's not a V6 it is an inline 6. Whoever is the narrator, or script writer is clueless when it comes to power plants.
