the N series has its place, for one its cheap compared to some others, also it can use all modern 3 point implements unlike some others, though its 1st gear is too high for a rototiller, some on the n board do manage to make it work well, it mows well ,provided you install a over running adapter on the pto shaft, so you can stop it,it can be hauled behind a 3/4 ton or larger truck on a car trailer easily, the problem is most of us who have one now also had one around the place when we were kids and its therapy to get out on a summer evening and mow ect with it, the N series makes a good first tractor restoration as it has virtually every single part reproduced in the aftermarket, and its about as simple mechanically as a tractor gets. we're getting older now, and the N is hitting the 'me' generation who grew up in the city, now they have 5 acres and want a small tractor, after they price a new kubota or john deere,they see the cheap little N and buy it, not realizing the N is not designed to do the same work as the new sub compact tractors are and it takes a person faimiler with machinery to run the old ford,it doesnt have safety switches on every handle or button, if you dont think, it will hurt you or worse, not to mention you will have to work on it, regularly the side mount is easier to do points on when its on the tractor, by persons who dont know that on the front mounts 2 bolts and 1 wire and the whole thing drops off in your hand so you can work on it on the bench, it only goes back in one way so getting it out of time is virtually impossible, but the N has its hp limits too, people used to using a tractor with 50 hp or more are not going to be happy with a N series, you cant run them the same way

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
