Also just got lucky last month. Found a 46 2N in a pasture, tractor covered with grass and weeds. The farmer found all missing parts in his shed, along with a 6 foot blade in very good condition. Has all original major and minor parts, and opitional equipment wide rims and tires in front. Minor rust on hood side only. He asked $500.00 for it ,and I gave him a check on the spot before he changed his mind. Brought it home and began to work on it, cleaned the carb, replaced minor parts, plugs and wire, points kit, head gasket, some minor wiring, and a new manifold. Put everything back together the farmer had taken off, ie., radiator, gas tank, grill, and hood. Cranked her up and she started with no problems. So next, changed the oil and gear, tran, and hyd. fluid to GL-1. Hydr. and gears worked even better after that.
Just needed some cleaning up and some TLC. Price of the tractor and parts equals to about $650. Figured the blade it self is worth $250 to $300. Wish I would have paid about the same for the other trators I have. Good luck with your "new" tractor. David
