I purchased a ford either 9n or 2n but, I can"t tell. I have the list of serial numbers but there is no serial number on the block anywhere. not on the frame or rear axel. from pictures it looks like a 2n. it has 5 lug front wheels and 6 lug rear. has 3 speed transmission. I would like to find the year. any help where the serial number would be.

Hey Roger,

Another option once you locate the plate is to take a piece of paper and a soft lead pencil and take a "rubbing" of the serial number. Sometimes the numbers can be read a little easier. Good luck!

Safety & blue skies,

Ok, I took a wire brush chucked in a drill and cleaned the area were the serial number should be. its bare metal no serial number. the square block is there but its blank.

Roger,
I got one of them engines in what I call my "too-N." Could be 9N or 2N, I can't pin down the year. Even had my archaeologist wife look for a serial number. The rectangle is blank.
The engine is a replacement industrial engine: On the right side, aft of the governor and below the forward valve cover it a hole covered with a 2 1/2 inch football shaped plate with two bolts. I'm told it's where a fuel pump could mount. Maybe I'll stamp it myself: "TOO-N 0001."

Roger, the pic I'm refering to is a collage. it shows sn location, and some bell housing casting info from an 8n. the 2n will have the sn in the same place. Inthe pic, you can just see the side of the oil filter, and then the head above the number.

I'll give it another look. Thanks for the help.
another question. I don't know if it has a genarator or an alternator. looks like an undersized alternator. has one two wire plug and a yellow wire on a lug.

Roger

by the way I only payed $1000 for the tractor and it was running when they parked it a couple years ago. came with a snow blade and a bucket.

Alternators are generally short and stubby, while gennies are longer and tube like.

A genny for a 9n would be a 1 wire job... small diameter.. smaller than a 2 litre soda bottle. With yuo saying it has a 2-wire molded plug, and then another lug.. really sounds like an alternator.

Not too technical of a question for me! As you sit on the tractor facing forward, the left side of the block has a flat area behind the oil fill and (on mine anyway) immediately below the sediment bowl. It is stamped in, should begin with "9N" for the 9 and 2N tractors and can be a devil to read. Even a thin layer of dirt will hide it. Pretty good size numbers. One other thing....

Turn back now or all is lost.

I looked there very carefully. there's not even a flat spot where the numbers should be. I rubbed and wiped nothing!

Even the industrial blocks I've seen have the flat boss. Check again...
