According to Smith's tractor page the 39 N serial numbers went from 9N1 to 9N10275. Then the 1940 run started with 9N10276 to 9N146017. It appears that you have a 1939. Really early 39 9Ns had aluminum hoods, dash, steering column and transmission top plate which would probably make them worth more because of their rarity and popularity. The reason for this was the steel casting equipment was not yet in place when the 9N production started and they used aluminum for a while. These aluminum components were painted the flat battleship gray the same as the rest of the tractor. So, you might have to polish some paint off to see if you have aluminum or steel. Don't take my word completely as the only place I looked was on the Smith page but that's a good place. I don't have an N and never will. Their only nvalue to me is in the personal amusement obtained in reading about their myriad problems. Believe it or not, I remember when they first came out. My uncle bought a 1940 N for his flat, level sand farm and it worked fine but we have hills and red clay nine feet deep and barn hills to boot. It was considered a joke in the local neighborhood and we referred to them as "garden tractors" before there was such a thing. Just think about bunting a 7500# hay wagon up a barn hill with a 2500# tractor, or trying to pull two plows in 7 year old red clay alfalfa sod. Hell, we didn't even have John Deere Bs or Farmall Hs, much less Ns. But they are amusing little things.
