Opps, I missed the 8N part. The others are correct. The 8N ended production in 1952 BEFORE Ford painted any demo's gold.
As JD said the "rare tranny" in that case would be a "Sherman combo auxiliary tranny" that was an add on generally by the dealer. While they are not exactly common they are not rare either. An 8N, depending on location and condition, running, is worth anywhere from about 900 dollars to about 2500. The Sherman tranny might just drive that up to about 3500 but that better be on a darn nice tractor with new to near new tires. The gold pain hurts the value because Ford never painted those gold. For a collector the cost of a profession paint job could exceed the value of the tractor just making it right.
IMO if a person is trying to sell that tractor as a "rare gold demo with a rare transmission" they are trying to scam someone. But on the other hand it could be someone who "was told" what it is and really doesn't know.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
