There's not enough difference in the 2n and a 8n to make one bit of difference. I've used both extensively. I have a 9n just like a 2n with the sherman overdrive unit and it's really nice. The tractor has a slow reverse. The 8n has a faster reverse that I really don't like. I can use my sherman and have a really fast reverse if I want to. The 9n or 2n have one piece bolt in rear axles and the 8n has a terrible design that has a locknut on the outside of the hub that loosens up and turns into a problem. They have plenty of traction and power and the three point hitch makes them 99% handier than any of their counterparts of that era. The engine in a 2n is probably the cheapest engine in the world to rebuild. Kind of like a 350 chevy. They can run a 6 1/2 foot disk all day long or a 5 ft brushog. They are good on a 6 ft rear blade. With the front hitch you can move trailers and wagons very easily. The motor in one of those things could probably knock for 30 years and not be a problem. Guys on here will bash them because they don't have anything else to do all day. Then they will go out and polish a jd Ih or minnie mo or oliver trailer queen all day and tell you that you can't get anything done with a 2n. I think $1600 is an ok deal if they throw in a back blade. Probably at the top of the scale for an unrestored unknown model but what the h@ll is $1600 dollars anyway? People on here probably lost more than that on their 401k today and at least you have a tractor to goof around with after spending your $1600. Don't sweat it, 30 years from now when you're still tilling your garden with it and mowing your ditch banks you'll laugh about it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
