Phil: From my research/understanding, what you describe could indeed be Ferguson. The front lights have wings and two screws that held the lens/sealed beam in. There was a red tail light (left side) and a removable work light (right side) that had a switch. What is really difficult is that many times lights were not standard and may have been added later. None of this stuff is available today, except used. I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on the N Series Fords, except that what I have seen is similar (in appearance) to what the parts catalogue shows for the Ferguson TO-XX & TE-XX tractors. The catalogue shows a tool box like the one you describe, but I cannot remember which model (TE-20/TEA, I think, maybe a TO-30). A few months ago, I tried to find original/close to original rear lights for my TO-20 and I could have purchased a used rear work light for about $90.00--seemed steep to me, given my plan is not to show the tractor but to keep it as original as possible, but mostly functional for use. During my search, I looked at a lot of Fords that for the most part did not have wings on the front lights, they were marked with "Tracto Lite" (was marketed/packaged by Ferderal Mogul until Ford got out of the tractor business) and the lens was held in with a ring that had one (possibly two?) screws that clamped it tight around the headlight body. If you want parts numbers for early Fergusons, let me know, and which parts. David, MI
