Hello All,

This is Tim Daley’s brother, Kevin. We received news from Tim’s wife Betty that he passed away in his sleep last night. No further details yet, waiting on arrangements.

Thought you’d like to know.

I received a message last night to let me know Tim had passed. A long standing contributor to the N series community. Rest in Peace Tim.

Wow . I was just thinking about Tim. I have not been on here in a long time . Sorry to hear this. He knew his fords . Prays to his family. Wayne niccum ,indiana .

Yes Tim will be missed. Just heard from him last month. I knew he was having some health issues but thought he was doing better. Here is an early photo of Tim (on the hood) and his brother Brian doing the steering on his grandfathers '39 9n tractor which he owns. RIP Tim

What a shock. Sorry to hear this. I learned a lot from Tim, not only on the forums but we exchanged a number of emails about our hobby. Prayers for the Dailey family.

sad news for sure....sorry for everyone loss

I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing.
I never met Tim, just through this site.
We were both avid Ford Grease gun collectors, and would trade emails regarding different types and part numbers.
He was a great Ford Tractor enthusiast, and a book of knowledge.
He will certainly be missed.
RIP Tim.

Sad new indeed. Condolences to the family.

Sad new, condolences to Tim's family and friends, including those in this community.

Oh Wow.
Condolences to the family.
I suspect if there is any machinery in Heaven you might know where to find him.

Will be missed by all of us Ford tractor followers. My condolences to the family.

My condolences to Tim's family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Tim but was always appreciative of his generous help and suggestions on this forum.

Wow! Shock! I have had many e-mails with Tim. I met him the first time at Buckley, Michigan when they hosted the FFCA. We met several times in Marshall, Michigan at Farmer Dans and at Farmer Dan's funeral. As said below, Tim was always willing to share his experiences and extensive knowledge of Ford Tractors. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for him and his family.

My condolences to all.

Dan

Sad to hear that Tim passed away, may he rest in peace

Prayers to wife, brother, family. Tim possessed a lot of old Ford tractor knowledge and shared it freely. At the very end, he was looking/trying to accumulate more, i.e., WW II Ford powered jeep.

BTW. The Ford "Jeep" prototype was powered by a 9N engine in 1941. There were a number of them, and a GPA designation (exact number, I do not know). I got to see one in a parade once. They were not, however, the production models. Production Ford Jeeps are GPW's powered with Willey's engines. My son's 1942 GPW is currently stored in my barn with my N's, Willey's engine.
Many bolt on parts and accessories were interchangeable with Willeys built Jeeps. A government requirement.
Also, Ford GPWs had many parts with the Ford script F embossed or stamped on parts even the heads of bolts. They had Firestone tires with the Ford Script name on them. My son's has 5 script tires.
There are numerous other details that my son knows about them that I don't.

I had the good fortune to meet Tim by phone & emails & always found him to be like an old friend, always willing to help & incredibly knowledgeable! He will definitely be missed every day.
May you feel God's presence w/you through these tough times.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Never personally met him either but I have used alot of his knowledge on my tractors. Prayers for the family, he is gonna be missed.....

Sorry to hear this. He just posted a few days ago on the site. I never met Tim, but he seem very knowledgeable and helpful. Prayers and thoughts for his wife and family.

Prayers to his wife and family. He always was willing to be helpful. He will be missed.(

So sorry to hear of Tim`s passing. The information he would freely share about these N series tractors was priceless. Condolence to his wife and family.
