Transporting 8N Across Country.

Drive it! Make it some sort of charity event, collect funds/pledges and TV coverage (to help defer the costs too).

Visit small towns & landmarks on the way along with your 'support team'.

The best possible outcome would be if you ended up with a nice check from your insurance company and the 8N ended up in a ditch.

As a registered uShip provider I am going to say probably not what you want to do if you are going to ship a lot of miles. I mainly move my own tractor around and every once in a while find someone willing to pay the price to move a car or tractor a couple hundred miles. A qualified equipment mover is probably wanting over $1 mile to move your tractor, at least I would. You can list the tractor in the hopes that someone will haul it just for gas money to get back home.

yup.. a shipper with an empty backhaul might be cheapest...

I'd sell it then buy a real ford tractor after moving. ;)

What would be the most economical way if even feasible to have a 8N Ford shipped across country.

Sure it's feasible to ship anything across country. I used uShip to haul an old IH plow from Illinois to Northern CA and a JD two-row planter from Minnesota. Cost was $300-400 each.

Howeer, unless you're a tractor collector and there is something really special about this particular 8N, forget about it.

If you really want an 8N, buy locally.

Be aware that these are 50-60 year old tractors that usually are very worn (engine and transmission) and can become money pits to get running again.

Good luck

:laughing:
Take it apart piece by piece and sell it ALL. Use the money to buy a more modern and useful tractor.
I just spit my coffee all over the keyboard !
