Ford 2N

Another reason given for the change of color on the 8N's (in additon to the legal reasons) was that bird and pigeon poop didn't show up as much on tractors parkded in barns or sheds that were inhabited by birds..

Well, since nobody else posted one of an all gray 2N or 9N, i guess I will. This is Jason Grooms' 2N painted correctly. As to why some were painted red/gray, when the newer model 8N came out, it was red/lite gray. A lot of people liked the color scheme better, so some dealers repainted the older tractors to match to help them sell. Other people painted them the same just cuz they like the colors.

I actually think the 2N and 9N look better in all gray and the 8N looks best in red/gray. I have seen one all gray 8N, but I don't think I have a picture of it. I have even seen 9/2/8Ns painted blue to look like the 1000 series fords. Like they say, paint it how you want, i just prefer to paint mine in the original colors.

You say that the tractor was bought that way..I have heard that some dealers painted them red/gray near the turn of the model year..This way they could sell the remaining 2N's that they had..

All 9N/2N's were GRAY..

I thought someone might enjoy this picture of my old 1947 Ford 2N with 2 bottom Dearborn plow. It was enjoying a nice summer afternoon. The flags add a nice touch.

This is my first tractor. I've been working on it and got it running real good. Bought some new implements and have been doing small jobs with it around our property.

Here's my 2N. Yes I know it's the wrong color. It was this color when I bought it but was in really bad shape. Took it apart 1 day to find a leak and replaced waterpump, decided to paint that, then the motor looked bad, painted that and well 6 months later after replacing most of the tractor here it is. It's going to be all gray one of these days!
