I just picked up my first tractor over the weekend, an 8N. I got it running and everything seems to be working well. I have been trying to figure out what year it is and am quite confused. The serial number on the engine is 8N305986 which should place it somewhere in the middle of 1950 and it should have a side mount distributer. All of the tin on the tractor points to 1950+, the oil fill is the shortened version below the filter canister. the radius arms and lift arms are also of the later style. However the engine is a front distributer and there is blue paint under the red and no other color. I know in the grand scheme of things the exact year doesn't matter much but this is a bit of a mystery to me and I would like to sort it out if possible. Any input you have would be greatly appreciated.
