He will be missed!
 

Yes he was one of a kind he always took time to talk me through issues he was a mentor to all on the N boards he will be missed... I used one of his inventions this past week and one of his HOT tips on N hydraulics. He will leave behind great memory's he will not be forgotten... I believe I brought every Ford tool/position control/live hydraulic conversion he made just to see it in person. It was a honor to have known him rest in peace my friend...

I'm so sorry to hear that. He was a good contributor here and will be missed. Do you have any intentions on keeping his product "The Zane Thang" available?

I never purchased one because I never had a 9N or 2N but from everyone here who had purchased one, I hear that they work perfectly. It would be a shame if they were no longer available.

I did purchase his 3 point adjustment jig and was happy with that.
 
My condolences Lisa. While attending an event at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park in 09/2015, I stopped in and visited the man whose wisdom I appreciated, and make a purchase ( no shipping).
 
I am sorry you lost your daddy Lisa.
I am sorry for these forums too. We have lost a true tractor guru, great mentor and online friend.
Rest in peace Zane. We will miss you.
 

I am so sorry to hear of this;
Zane will be a great loss to not only your family but to this family as well, his wisdom and innovation on this sight will be
sorely missed by all who knew, or knew of him.........
 
My condolences for your loss Lisa and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.He was a Great man and,Zane loved to help folks in need.Zane will be missed by me and a lot of folks
 
WOW! Hate to hear that! Lots of knowledge has been shared by that man,
Prayers for him and your entire family as you work through the days ahead,
truly a loss to you and the tractor community. So so sorry
 
I'm too new to this forum, so I never had the pleasure to know Zane, but from what everyone is saying it is a double loss for me.
 
I would like to express our deepest condolences from those of us at Yesterday's Tractors during your time of mourning.

Zane was a real pillar of the N-series community. You are right about how great a man he was. I'm sure you must know, that thousands upon thousands of people have benefited from his knowledge and help.
 
I am so sorry to hear of your loss Lisa. It was very thoughtful of you to take the time to inform us of Zane passing. He had many friends here even though the large majority of us never met him.

Such sad news. Zane was such a help to this world of old Ford tractors. He will be missed for sure.

Go with God Zane.
 
May God bless your family. Thank you for letting us know. I purchased one of Zanes "thangs" earlier this year, and Zane had all the time in the world to talk me through it.
 
A heart wrenching loss. My condolences to you and your family. I am fortunate to have had e-mails with Zane when I bought the "Zane Thang" and his "Zane Jig" for 8N and NAA hydraulic adjust along with the cam pins.
 
Hi Lisa, Thanks for posting the information of your Dad, A truly great knowledgeable person
always so glad to share with other's the expertise of many years working on machinery. Zane's mind never gave up with the ability to have nice sensible conversation's to make repairs on old vehicles. To Zane that was a great challenge to make a tractor work again.
I can never recall of Zane not being nice and understanding to everyone on this board.
May the souls of the faithful departed rest in Peace and May Light Perputal Shine upon them. Rest in Peace My Friend, Murray, (East Coast of Canada)
 
So sorry for your loss. He was one of the sources I relied on for tractor advice. Even thought I never met him, I respected his knowledge on these old tractors, and I am sure he was a wonderful father as well. My condolence to you and your family. May he rest in peace.
 
Lisa,

I am very sorry for your loss. We all will truly miss him. He was a great teacher to many of us.

So sorry for your loss, Lisa. I never had the honor of dealing with Zane,but he sounded like a super great guy.
 
My condolences to you and your family. Zane helped me many time over the years, even as recent as August 8th, of this year. I also own one of his inventions, called 'the Zane Thing'. He will be greatly missed.
 
He will be missed by many people. Our prayers are with you in this time of need. Rest in peace Zane. God Bless.
 
Lisa, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. He was a fine man and was quick to share his experience with others in their time of trouble.

Take comfort in knowing that he made a positive impact on an untold number of lives.

Zane, may you rest in peace.
 
I will miss Zane. His posts and inventions were both first-rate! He was an all-around great guy.
 
Lisa, so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was truly a well respected and fine person. He will definitely be missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. God Bless.

PS. I can only imagine what he and Dell are doing now. Gone far too soon
 
Lisa , sorry about your Daddy, always enjoyed reading about the help he gave here, he will continue to live on as long as there is a internet. May God bless your family.
 
Lisa, Truly sorry for your loss. I had many internet conversation with Zane. Bought several of his products and recommended them to lots of folks. I also enjoyed his stories that he published from time to time. He will be missed.
 
Thank you so much for letting us know, I enjoyed learning from him, and have loved my Zane thang for many years now.

Thank you for letting us know.

I never met your father but I did exchange a few emails with him. He always seemed to be able to look at the bright side of things and it was always a pleasure to interface with him. I'm sure that I can speak for the group and say that he was an inspiration to us all and he will be missed.

I wish you and your family members the best and please accept my personal condolences.
 
Sorry for your loss Lisa. I've always been impressed with your fathers inventions. Zane, you left a indelible mark here, rest easy.
 
I?m very sorry for your loss. As so many have said here, your father?s work has helped people across thousands of miles. Our first tractor was an N and it was from reading your father?s shared wisdom that I learned how that tractor was designed and operated. I was also an early buyer of one of his Zane Things. Though we?ve moved on to a larger tractor, our N - with your father?s device - is still in use at our folks? place.

May the words expressed by all of us offer some solace.
 
Iam sorry to hear of his passing. His was one of the first posts I read Many years ago when I first found this forum He has gone on to where we all must go someday and I know he was received honorably.
 
Your father helped me, I enjoyed his posts, he will be greatly missed as others have mentioned, he helped so many of us.
