From my experience, get a diesel Japaneese tractor. I had an old Ford, worked on my father-in-laws old Ford. I would rather use a tractor than work on one. I ALWAYS have somebody follow me in my truck loaded with tools, parts, oil and gas when I used an "N".

Do not get me wrong, I like them, but they are very limited in use. If you get one anyway, stay away from the 9N and 2N mod. You have to remove the hood, gas tank and raditor to set the points, file the points of replace them! The only coil that fits is also part of the distributor cap, and parts people of VERY proud of them! I got ALL my parts from NAPA so I didn't care if Ford discontinued them. Be prepraired to run 140 Wt oil in the tranny, the hyd pumps are SO bad that 90wt will not lift the arms with nothing attached. This means you have to warm it up FOREVER on cool days before anything works. Also if you work them hard they get SO hot the gas boils in the tank and you get vapor lock worse than you have EVER seen. I bolted an ammo box on mine, filled it with sandwitches and snack food, when it stalled, I just got off and ate something until it cooled. Old folks said they did this when they were new. It's up to you but I know where I am headed!!!!!

I sold my 2N, my father-in-law gave his 8N away. I am looking for a Yanmar. If i was a collector, I would get me an okd ford and a Jonny popper. I need a real tractor so I am looking at Yanmars.
