After reading here I have found three numbers on my tractor. None of them is the serial number off the engine,[so far have been unable to read it]. there is a number on the bottom of transmission- 9N605 A 1, maybe the A is use as 4? On the rear axle on tractors right side[as when sitting on tractor is 2N1014 A 2 and the date 9-10-45. On the other side is 2N1015 A 2 and the same date 9-10-45. It has the tube type arms,front mounted dist. three spoke wheel, three speed trans with sherman step down?
Will try to post some pictures when rain stops. Rain didn't come if I did it right there should be pictures. Picture on https://photos.yesterdaystractors.com/gallery/tphotos/c143596.jpg

Very nice looking 2N! Is that bumper a riveted style?

Have you tried to wire wheel the serial number on the engine block? Wire wheeling it and then doing a pencil rubbing on a piece of paper might improve the legibility. Based on what you've provided us, you likely have a '45 or a '46. '46 seems most likely.

You'll want to attend to that bowed radius rod(s). The likely culprit is a worn center pivot pin (aka king pin) and the brass bushing.

No bumper is welded. After attending to the king pin will radius arm have to be replaced? Thank you for quick reply. I edited the op and added two pics.
 
The radius rods can be straightened. Easier if you have a press.
If you want to replace it, someone close to you may have a good
used one. I have a set but I'm in Michigan.
 
Ah, the bumper is an aftermarket then. Still looks nice, though!

No need to replace the radius rods. Just straighten them out. Lots of different methods folks use. If you have access to a press, that works well. I use a heavy white oak timber which I set a 20 ton jack on. A short section of i-beam or channel iron goes on top of the jack, whith the center point of the bow resting in the i-beam to support and stabilize it. Chain radius rod and timber together and you've made a poor man's press. Slowly apply pressure using the jack. Over-correct just a bit as the radius rod will want to spring back some.

No need for a press to straighten radius rods.

Just need a floor or bottle jack, a chain and some blocks of wood.

I'm 7 miles North of Ionia, so probably West of your travels?
My email should be open if you want to discuss them.
 
yup, works good. go past straight a lil so when it relaxes it lays straight. the bigger the bottle jack the easier it is.
 
Great to know that I can straiten rather then replace. Royse you are a little west of travels, so maybe next year when we go camping we can come over that way.
