Well, I'm back on Yesterday's Tractor after a few years hiatus. My '47 9n has been sitting in my shop in pieces for about 5 years, and I am finally ready to do the long past due rebuild. My place has gone to hell in a handbasket since it's been out of service, so it is time. :wink:
That being said, I need some advice from other Puget Sound area Ford tractor guys.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good machine shop in the Everett/Snohomish area to do my hot tanking, head checking, crank checking and possible milling? Seems like I need to get this done before I order the rebuild kit, as I won't know bearing sizes until I get that pre work done. So, any good shops in the area you guys know of who are well versed in Ford N's, and reasonable and reliable? Thanks a million in advance guys.

The journey begins..... . :lol:

Rick..... ..down here by Ft Lewis, I'd use the Cope Bros for my machine shop work. Well respected in NASCAR circle track racing.

There is an EXCELLENT Ford FLATHEAD-V8 shop in Mt Vernon..... ..Dell, foot of 14k Mt Rainier now with only 5-acres of starvation grass for my sheepies

Don..... ..naw, the ex-wife of 32-years got the 10-acres next door in divorce (her choice) and sold it 1-yr later after throwing out the dead-beat renter that my Boeing lay-off money was supporting. She got all but $3600 of $52,000 Boeing layoff money spent before she divorced me plus all my fathers $25,000 estate. He TRASHED the kitchen and bathroom, dug out a $1000 pinetree. So she had an unscheduled remodeling job. (which kind me helped and expensed on IOU's never repaid, while I was going back to college working on my 4th degree paid by Boeing re-training)

She got married last Christmas time after she retired teaching Dental Hygiene for 35yrs and moved to TEXAS (she's from Calif) where she is now driving an 18-wheeler with her new husband. Who knew?..... ...Dell, the ol'sheepdog trainer
