A guy has a 1946 2N for sale here. ( I currently own a Ford 640.) It has been converted to 12V. The tires are weather checked but not too bad. The rears are loaded. It has an almost new 6' CountryLine grader blade ($349 new) on it and is part of the package. I have a couple of concerns.
Where the serial number on the engine block is supposed to be (just to the rear of the oil filter) is all corroded. And it almost looks like it was intentional. The number on the left rear axle housing says 2N4105A2. The seller said he got the tractor from a friend of his that he did work for. His 'friend buys and flips tractors.
It smokes a bit out of the oil fill tube. The oil pressure gauge didn't work cold but started to register as it warmed up. It was about 10 PSI at operating speed.
The brakes are weak and the seller mentioned the rear axles seals probably need to be fixed but as the rear tires are loaded that's going to be job.
It started good and ran well. There was an oscillating (rear wheel speed) grinding sound coming from the rear drums when moving. I suspect the brakes are grinding a bit.
Interesting enough, it had a High/Low transmission which you can see on the first picture - and it worked really well. I put it up into High and I motored right along! What am I looking at here?
He wants $1800 but I suspect it's negotiable. I'm looking to have a second tractor at the farm (food plot and clean up work) that easier to get into tight places than my Ford 640 with front end loader.
Is it worth it? Should I even touch it with the serial number gone? What's the effort on those rear brakes? And what transmission am I looking at? Thanks everyone.
