Herder 2,354 #26 Posted August 14, 2021 Got the fuel tank installed, the hood set and ran the fuel line this past Thursday. I am not a big fan of the makeshift headlights, I guess they will work for now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herder 2,354 #32 Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Update: The generator came back from rebuilding and is charging. Finished up the toolbox. Installed the air cleaner stack. Headlights took nearly three weeks to get, painted up, installed and wired. Awesome! Love the way they look. Then the fun started, she ran great under load for about 20 minuets and then would go down hill and stall, then needed a cooldown period before she would restart. I checked and replaced all the usual suspects, condenser & coil. What a difference. I also found the ignition switch must have been on it's way out, changed that and the charging improved and she running like a top. And she's outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Have a great day everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited September 12, 2021 by Herder 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #33 Posted September 12, 2021 Fantastic. If you want a little more protection for your feet, they do sell footrests for the 9N and 2Ns. Here is the one for the left side: https://www.steinertractor.com/ABC439-Running-Board-Lh- Searching on Amazon, ebay or other sources. Red Rock Manufacturing also sells a hand lever for the left brake for 9Ns and 2Ns. https://redrockmfg.com/products/miscellaneous/ One thing about the Ford tractors, especially the N Series, parts are easy to find as several online stores has them.

squonk 41,051 #34 Posted September 12, 2021 That tractor would have fit right in at the Steam Pageant. There was a collector there who had 4 or 5 of those Fords all line up with the double plow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a tractor parade in December, I'm hoping to be ready, plow and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
