My 9N (just finished grading the road with it) has a model # of 14-4 and serial #37871. I was told it was a '39 and it looks very much like the '39s I have seen, has a verticle grill. With a serial number like it has, I thinking is isn't a '39. Anyone know for sure? Were the tool boxes optional? I don't have one.

You read the number from a side mounted sickle bar mower frame which was left bolted to the transmission of the tractor, the serial mumber is stamped on the left side of the engine block on a raised spot just below where the head bolts on. Let us know what you find.

Hey, Richard;

Toolboxes were not optional, they were standard equipment. Check out ebay, the suppliers on this site, and search the net and a toolbox will be easy to come by. I would recommend that you get a Ford tractor originality guide which is readily available at most any bookstore. To answer your quesion, the '39's did have a horizontal grill, but they were aluminum and broke easily so many of them were replaced with the vertical kind after they broke. Check the hood, dash, tranny cover, lift cover, and dog legs on the hood to see if any of them are aluminm. If they are, they are well worth preserving/repairing/restoring because they are very rare. Be sure to check out the Smith's excellent site for additional info.

Hope this gives you a start;

Jeb

Sorry for the double post.

If i'm not mistaken, I think the 1940 models had the newer vertical grill. I'd have to double check, though. I think that info is also on the smith's page somewhere like "identifying your N" or something like that.

Take a look at the Serial Number link on the left. Gives a breakdown of serial numbers by year.

If the serial number is correct you have a 1940 9N. Take a look under "Research and Info" on the left and you will find a serial number link.

Hope this helps!
