I have recently acquired (while buying a house)what I believe is a 1948 8N Ford tractor. I believe that is the year because the Serial Number is 8138. I am trying to learn as much as I can about this tractor, and one thing has me confused. The manual for the standard transmission states it has 4 speeds forward and 1 back. But this tractor has a lever on the left side of the block that shifts the tractor from Lo range to Hi range. In other words it seems to have 8 speeds forward and 2 back. I have read a bit about a Sherman conversion, but I believe that stated it would give you 12 speeds forward. Can anyone tell me more about whether this Hi-Lo is standard equipment? Also, am I correct in stating that the model year is 1948? I am considering selling it and want to make sure I have all the specs correct before I advertise it. I hate to sell it because it seems to be in great running order and it looks good too, but I need a garden tractor worse than I need the Ford 8N. Thanks for your help.
