My dad bought a brand new one in 1946. They are a great little tractor. They are low powered and small but the most innovative of their time and the forerunner to the modern tractor. There is a lot of interesting history about them. The 9n was designed in 1939, the 2n in 1942 and the 8n in 1948.

Their first tractor was the Fordson, which killed a lot of people. It was bad about rearing up. The real innovation on the n series was brought about by Ford’s brother-in-law Harry Ferguson.

Henry died, Edsel kicked Harry out and started building his own tractor. Edsel sued Harry but Harry won.
