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 - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
