- So after years of not having a tractor, we decided it was time to get one! We needed a tractor with a loader and I found this Ford 2N Tractor Not running and in need of Repair. Unsure of what it's troubles are, I decided to solider ahead. The 2N is the tractor made between 1942 and 1947. It's between the Ford 9N and Ford 8N. Now the only question is can I fix it? and how bad is it?

Nice job getting it running
Will look forward to seeing the next episodes.
Where there's a will there's a way 😉 I think my wife will like it better when it's fixed fully😂
Great video!! It was suspenseful to see if it would go. Its definitely a 2N however I thought I saw a casting code on the block where the starter goes in. If there is then it is not a 9N engine. They started putting casting codes around 1943 and that is 2N You may just be not seeing a digit on the SN number. If it does have a casting code what is the last digit? Whatever it is will be the year. For example if it was a 6 it would be a 1946
High praise from the master himself!😁 Thanks for checking us out😉 There is indeed a casting code by the starter K136. I need to blast the serial number area on the block to get a better read on that, and I may have had bad info when I decoded it.. The hydraulic pump is cast with a November 46 date. I'm thinking the tractor is a 46 or possibly a very early 47 2N. Also worth mentioning the head is bolted instead of studded. Not sure when the change was made. Didn't think it was until the 8N's. It's surely possible it could have been changed by a previous owner, but most guys wouldn't do it unless they were super dedicated. My experience is the studs tend to break when you try to remove them 😬
@Mr. Vintage Restoration K = November so your engine is definitely a 2N and was casted in November and so was your pump so it's safe to say nothing major has been changed. Generally from what I studied when a block was casted it would probably be a couple weeks before it would get put into a tractor so I'm pretty sure it's a 1946. I hope you can read the number real good because I have a 46 2N as well with a K or Nov. Code. Who knows they could of went down the line together. You are correct head bolts were not used until they late 8Ns. Someone changed them.
@@Jason1Pa finally got the serial cleaned up. 249781. Your right, it's 1946
@Mr. Vintage Restoration That's great you can read it! My 1946 is number 9N251954 so that's like 2,173 apart.
@@Jason1Pa they practically could have been in the holding lot at Highland Park together at the same time 😲 Not sure how many they let pile up before they loaded them on the train to go to dealers.
