This got me to thinking. I'm gonna have to take a good look at my FIL's old Ford tractor the next time we visit. He says its a 9N and its all original. However, after looking at some photos and specs for the N series, I'm not sure what it is. It has foot pegs like the 9N, but the paint and wheels like the 8N. Will definitely have to check the serial number Sunday.

Dont know iffn I got enough of them or not, with my
46 B Farmall and
47 Case VAC, and
49 VAC Case setting at my DDs
and my 1949 WD AC that I gave to my boy setrting here, and my
1934 CC Case of my Grandads, and dads and
1948 H farmall and 1939 A JD setting here, and my 1950 Cub Demonstrator setting here.

I have 2 1946 Farmall H's but they are still working and not ready to restore,I wish I could find the time though,it would be nice to have them working and restored

I hear ya Husky. Same with mione. The Case dosent have a bit of its origional paint, Or any other for that matter. I wont restore the Cub as, it being a demonstrator, I dont want top lose the ability to procve that it was origionally painted white,.

I restored an old Cub Lowboy years ago... Thankfully it wasn't on my dime.. I'd love to find me an old tractor to restore for myself, but time and money puts that outta the question..
