The other big change on the 8N was the addition of a 'Position-control' setting for the hydraulics. The most noticeable differences between the 8N and its predecessors was the inclusion of a 4-speed transmission instead of a 3-speed in the 9N and 2N, and an increase in both PTO and drawbar horsepower. Equipped with a 4-speed transmission, this model was destined to become the top-selling individual tractor of all time in North America. Official production of the 8N tractor began in 1947. It is hard to tell the difference between the 9N and the 2N. All of the 9N and 2N models featured a front-mounted distributor, which proved difficult to service. After the war the steel wheels and magneto system were replaced with Ford Tractor Parts.īatteries were reserved for the war effort, so the all-steel wheel tractors came with a

By this time, wartime regulations had imposed manufacturing economies, and some 2Ns can be seen with all- steel wheels and a lack of sleeved engines. However, the 2N, like the 9N, still had only a 3-speed transmission, a disadvantage compared to theįarmall A and M. The 2N still came in dark grey, but now had added improvements including a larger cooling The 9N was revised a number of times, until being re-launched as the 2N in late 1941. The Ferguson hitch was designed to solve some of the problems found in the earlierįordson tractors such as flipping over if the This tractor has a rear Power Take Off (PTO) which could be used to drive three point or towed implements. Uniquely, the exhaust was routed underneath the tractor, much like an automobile.

The 9N's relatively tall and wide-spaced front wheel design resulted in somewhat sluggish steering and reduced maneuverability compared to competing machines such asįarmall 'Letter series'.

An extremely simple, almost crude tractor, the 9N was fitted with the Ferguson system three-point hitch, a three-speed transmission, and featured foot pegs instead of running boards. The 9N was first demonstrated inįarmall, it was designed to be a general-purpose row-crop tractor for use on smallerįarms. The first Ford tractor was the 9N, the first tractor to have both three-point hitch and a rear The meaning for each letter or number of each line are shown below using the above example ( in blue).Choose your model below for the Ford Industrial Tractor Parts Lookup The serial number is located as indicated opposite and has 3 parts to it, for example: If the explanation below doesn’t make sense to you give us a call on 00353 (0)44 9357912 The serial numbers for Ford 2000, 3000, 40 give a lot of information but are a bit complicated to work out.
