What year did the 9n support arms change from the solid I beam style to the hollow oblong style. Also, does anyone know if there is any kind of an estimate of the number of 9,2 & 8n's that are still around? Just curious.

God only knows how many live on but on the small road I live on in upstate NY .8 of a mile long would you believe there are 5 Ns go figure.

No way to guess as to how many N's are still around. They are everywhere! There must be a large percentage of them still operating as I see them from coast to coast. Must number in the hundreds of thousands! The oval radius rods appeared in the mid fortys on 2N's.

I don't know if there is a large percentage still operating or if there were just lots more of them made in the first place. We're talking about 800,000 units over 14 years; that's an average of 57000 per year. I've been doing some reading of late about tractor manufacturing history and I've noticed that with a lot of JD and Farmall models they were lucky to put out 10,000 in a year. Other makes, even less. That makes it less likely a large number of them would survive after 50 years. Add to that the Ferguson system that makes these tractors still usefull today and you have the formula for longevity.

I've seen 3 or 4 advertised for sale in my part of the state just in the last week. I agree they are everywhere, hundreds of thousands still doing the job (and more) that Henry prescribed some 60 years ago!

I assume you are talmking about the radius rods, I believe the change was made in 1940 or late production 39'. There were a lot of early changes in funtion and form.

There were over 800,000 made. Your guess is as good as mine, but I'll bet that there are few tractors that died with out giving up some parts so that others could live. Being an organ doner is part of the tractor creed.

Speaking of organ donors...I'm just back from Watertown, Wisconsin where I noticed a truck-mounted crane on a demolition site which had a Jubilee/Hundred Series (hard to tell...painted red!) powerplant powering the crane. Kind of made me cringe but I suppose better than being melted down for manhole covers! Remember Mike Mulligan and MaryAnn!!

There are several pictures of restored 2Ns in the Peterson book with I-beam radius rods.
