Normally, the 9N/2N won't have adjustable tappets like the 8N. The valves are adjusted by grinding the tips of the stems off. Many 9/2's have had the adjustable tappets and exhaust valve rotators added somewhere along the line. If yours has adjustable tappets, follow Zane's advice below. If it doesn't, you can retrofit them

I checked with Napa today and they sell a tool for adjusting these valves (only $2.85 ) Thanks Zane& bg for the help.This 2N must have had the adj. lifters installed. These old tractors a very much like the old flat head car engines I used to work on,we used to grind the valve stems to adjust clearence.these adjusters will make it easy. BOB

there are two special tools that are left and right and are inserted into the adjoing tappet next to the one you wish to adjust and hold the tappet from turning.I think you can still get them from your local Ford tractor dealer. If not maybe an automotive parts store could order a set.It does make adjusting the valves a lot easier.
There is another unorthodox procedure.You drill a 1/8" hole into the center of the lifter housing on each lifter being sure to have the slot in the lifter so that the drill does not go into the lifter. After the hole is drilled insert a nail of appropriate deminsion into the drilled hole to keep the lifter from turning.I don't really recommend this procedure but I have done it on occasion when the standard holding tool would not hold because the adjusting screw of a particular lifter was too tight to budge otherwise.I have also done it on all holes when out of the shop and the adjusting tools were not available. I have seen no adverse effects such a lowering the oil pressure etc.
