Yeah I know, there is no such thing.
I got a phone call this morning from a city-guy that moved up here (to Central New York). He wants me to help him buy a older farm tractor and loader (probably a big mistake). He wants if for snow removal, getting firewood, etc.
Well, he found a "Ford 8N diesel" for sale and wanted me to check it out.
So, I called the seller. He tells me it is indeed an 8N diesel with a loader and an "up and down" shift four speed transmission. The "up and down" part sounded like a five speed to me. So, reluctantly, I drove 20 miles to go look at it.
Sure enough, he's even got a sign on it giving the bad info. Says he's owned it 20 years. Asking $3800 for it. I checked it over a bit. Seems maybe it's a 901 Powermaster with a 172 diesel? It does have a five speed and also power steering and a live PTO. Engine runs on all four but smokes quite a bit, even when fully warmed up. I'd like to buy this 8N if price substantially lower, but not for $3800. It smokes, some tires are bad, gauges don't work, etc.
Anybody know sure if this IS a 901? I couldn't read the ID numbers (didn't have my glasses with me. But, as I recall, only the 901 uses that hook medallion.
