I have a 1949 8n , I redone the outer seals and put new brakes and hardware on both sides. The old shoes were saturated in hydraulic oil, and not functioning. Changed it over to 12v and installed electronic ignition, put a new carburetor on it also. Hydraulics won't come up all the way, I have to pull the side cover off and do some investigating. I purchased a shop manual like I do with everything I own, sure saves me money and time in the long run..your old girl sure sounds good,, enjoy.👍
Love my 9n. Those machines are way more capable than alot of people give them credit for. Mine has done an insane amount of work for me, and still adding to it
I’m guessing I was about his age when I was first allowed to plow by myself. I was using our 1944 2N with straight cut gears, and unless it was heavy sod from years before, it was 2nd gear always. Old tractor would fly yet I could almost idle it down at the end and she would lug right through. Still my favorite plow tractor. Or TO30 with super Powerpack will eat it alive but still the whine of the transmission and the fact it was the first my grandfather plowed with too and the one he started me on.

You got that old girl running like champ and she’s throwing that sod over like she’s on steroids 👍
Awesome Machine you’ve got it sounding good , my Grandfather had one , I have a 1950 Ferguson TO20 .
I'm ready for paint with my project restoration of a 39 Ford (Ferguson ) #730. Runs great and a ton of fun. Going with all grey, but not so dull.
I just bought one yesterday, for my birthday gift, with a rebuilt motor and new paint job etc for 2600.00
Thats a good deal for a rebuilt one
Sure is, I just paid 2450 for a rebuilt engine alone. My block was cracked and didn't want to rebuild it.@@shelp9335
