I was in a hurry earlier and just realized this should have posted under one of the lower posts. I will also take this opportunity to rely my grandfather's account (via my father). In spring 1940, the local Ford dealer brought out a 9N to try. It only took him two hours to figure that the 9N did not fit his needs.

In the end, he bought the Farmall M we have today because he thought was easier on his body and was generally was a good tractor. He removed the third bottom in the heavy fields.
