Those old time farmers knew a thing or two about a thing or two and Ford/Ferguson knew how to deliver what they needed. Reliability, nothing fancy...just gets the job done. That's the beauty of those old Fords and Fergusons.

If you're using any kind of digging implement, like that spud plow, make sure you have your draft control lever on, your top link in the highest notch where it connects to the tractor, and let your top link out a little bit to drop it deeper. You'll be surprised how consistent you can get the depth of those rows when you really get good with these things.

The way to know if it's 9n or 2n is by serial number. 9N were older, from 1939-1942 (9 is from '39), then in 42 went to 2N ('42-47), then in '48 (8 for '48) went to 8N. All 9N and 2N serial numbers start with "9N". Look up "ford 8n serial lookup" and you'll find a list of serial numbers by year - Serial number is on the driver side, on a raised boss to the right of the oil filter barrel. You're right though, all the 2Ns had the oval radius rod, only early 9ns had an ibeam style.

Thank you. Good to know. I'll definitely try looking it up. On the motor it says 9N , very confusing

ALMOST all correct info here...but nope, not ALL 2N's had the the oval radius rods...they had the I beam type up until mid-1944...look it up..This tractor is most likely a late 1944-1947 model...

I am thinking about purchasing a 9 myself. Told it’s an excellent mechanical condition and comes with four or five attachments. All the basic ones and a cement mixer. My problem is I just don’t know what the older ones are worth because I’m used to looking up the 8n. For one of these in very good condition with a handful of attachments, what what would you guys pay. Going to be on a very small 5 acre piece of land and only used on occasions for bush hogging and maybe odds and ends.

2n i think my 9n has i beams almost the same tractor. 2n was designated in 1942 so ford could raise price cause wartime price freeze 9n could nota go up in price and it was too low of price.

Looking by the features, it's a 2N for sure, not a 9N..don't be confused by the serial number(on the engine block) starting off "9NXXXX", because that's the way BOTH 9N's and 2N's were serialed. That auxillary transmission is nice, it's a Sherman transmission, named for the Sherman Brothers who made and sold them. I do like the patina on your tractor(not the black grill though)..many of these 9N and 2N tractors have been incorrectly painted red and light gray, like an 8N...None of them ever came from the factory that color, they were all originally painted overall medium machinery gray....

Thank you. 9N or 2N it's a great very useful tractor. I don't think I'll repaint the tractor. Love the original design and look of an old tractor

None other than our Vice President, 1988-1992, under George H.W.

Wow, do you really have a '39 9N? what's the serial number, 39's are rare. If it's a '39, it should have aluminum hood, snap-in battery cover(not hinged), aluminum grill with horizontal bars, 32" rear tires, fenders with 2 ribs pressed into them instead of 1, left and right brake pedals that are identical, without the curve in the left one like later ones, rear axle hubs with smooth surfaces, not riveted like later ones, and some other unique features. Of course, some of this stuff could have been changed over the years, but it should still retain some of these features. If it has NONE of these features, it most likely is not a '39...
