My new 9N with a few mystery questions

Hello all. Im trying to figure out what year my tractor is. Reading the forum has gave me a few clues. My dash is a one piece cast iron, battery holder and all. The grease zerks face the front on the spindles. It has the key and starter button in the dash, but also the saftey neutral starter button in the transmission cover? The side cover does have a dipstick. 3 speed with a Sherman setup. A 3 spoke steering wheel. Still running 6 volt. I rebuilt the Marvel carb, put in a new set of plugs, cleaned out the sediment bowl, changed the Tranny fuild and its just purr's, no smoke, 3 point works well. The serial numbers are rusted beyond seeing anything, and im sure things have been interchanged thru the years, but im thinking it's about 1940 or so. Next is what is my seat? It has two big adjustable springs, with a shock absorber mounted between them, a flip up pan, and a crank to adjust the ride??? Thanks for any help!

The pipe at the right front of the lift cover is where someone has done a home made attempt at using the lift for remote hydraulics such as a loader or an implement with a hydraulic cylinder etc.

I notice that it still has the original two piece bolted together top link. Very rare also and very aggravating to try to adjust. Don't ever throw it away though when you give in and get one of the later screw type top links.

That tractor would make a fine show piece. It has all it takes. Especially if it has the cast iron dash!!!!

Yes i also thought it was a aluminum dash, but if you look in the picture it's rusting, and it likes a magnet. here's my spindle with the front pointing zerk. someone long ago put a weld on the steering arm, a farm fix that i must fix, LOL
