Help identifying a tractor 8N 9N?

Post by davisford »

Hi I am buying an acreage tractor and I am wondering what the easiest way is to identify the model? (besides serial number)
I am hoping there are differences like lights, seats, or something that is visually different

Here are some pics of the one I am buying

Looks Like an NAA. Later than the 9N, 2N. 8N. And a little better because it has overhead valves. If the badge on the front says "Golden Jubile" then it is a 1953. I believe the serial numbers are stamped just behind where the starter mounts. Dandy Dave!

Probably around 2700lbs, assuming it's not ballasted (no wheel weights, water in tyres).

Looks a lovely original little tractor :D

You should not have a problem hauling it with a two axle car and equipment trailer and pickup truck even if the tires are loaded. I have moved these on my 7,000# trailor many times. Dandy Dave!

That model has always been considered a "chore tractor" around the farms of my native Dakotas.

Not really sized for field work.

But mighty handy!

Yup, I can see that out where you folks live. Back here in the eastern US, plots of land are much smaller and these were very common on small 100 acre or less farms. Also commonly used around orchards, and for vegetable farming. Dandy Dave!

Comparable with Dexta, but gasoline instead of diesel.

As DD, says plenty of uses for smaller farms or lighter tasks on bigger farms.
