Welcome Lisa. Check out the Ford 9N, 2N, 8N discussion board. Link is below. Lots of really good info about the tractors. I have a 1940 9N. I bought mine real reasonable. Flathead engines are a snap to work on ... real easy. Electrical systems are also super simple. Mine was completely rebuilt when I bought it. It was alsready converted to 12v (even came with a stereo Jerry-rigged on it for bush-hogging entertainment). Mine came with a 5ft brush hog, back blade, box scraper, middle buster (single plow), and hitch draw bar. I wouldn't get rid of mine for anything although I must say that newer tractors have live PTO which mine does not. Takes soome getting used to but I operate mine safely so I am comfy with the setup. While I sometimes wish I had 4 wheel drive and a front end loader, I just can't justify the expense. I just find other ways around what I want to dig or move. Whatever you end up with, get yourself a shop manual and become real familiar with it. Get to know your parts dealer if you have one locally. Use these boards often as there is lots of knowledge out here. Everyone is real good about giving solid advice. Drive safe and enjoy.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
