In my opinion, the engines were the primary difference. Ever have to service that "cocoanut" distributor on a 9N? Ever have to adjust the adjustable tappets on a late 8N? The Farmalls took no "hoodoo-voodoo" crap to make them run or keep them running. Dad and Grand-Dad were dealers from 1941 into the 1960's, and Dad had a lot of respect for the quality of Allis-Chalmers, the Case Eagle-Claw hitch, and even some grudging respect for the Ford 3-point.

That said, Dad didn't like IH's diesels of the era, most of which were the "conversion" diesels that started on gas. But Dad always liked them a lot better than any of the 2-cylinder Deeres.
