My FO-4 shows only one toolbox (8N17005)

Are 8N boxes so different than late 2N boxes ?

Would 8N box fit a 2N mount ?

Would it look reasonably stock (if painted grey ?

Bert, this doesn't answer your question, but as I read the responses, I thought t'd add in my experience with the tool box on my '40 9N. The one I have is for the original cast dash (which I still have in 10 pieces), and it doesn't fit the mounting holes on the steel dash I've put on, which is either off a later 9n or a 2n....I guess my point is that I don't think all 9n and 2n toolboxes are interchangeable..... .Regards, Brian.

So that is why it is so hard to get into my 2N's toolbox!

Anybody with a 9/2N toolbox want to trade?

An 8N tool box will fit a 9N or 2N in the same place that the original tool box goes; might take some creative drilling or bolting. I had one there for quite awhile until I found an original. "N gurus" could probably tell right off that it was an 8N box on a 2N but it worked but the casual observer didn't know the difference.
My own opinion is that positioning of the tool box on 9N's and 2N's wasn't a high priority issue to "Ol' Henry" and his designers. Seems like a fender mounting deal would have made more sense.

The 9N/2N boxes are rectangular and larger than the 8N box. The 8N box would be rectangular also, except that the bottom back edge is "sliced off" so that the box will fit against the sloping dash support under the hood behind the battery.

I've seen 8N boxes mounted on the fender with the "slice" positioned on the top slope of the fender. Original? Of course not, but someone decided he needed his toolbox more accessible from the seat. Who's to say that's wrong?

been reading up in my Ford N Series tractors book and 2N & 9N boxes are inter changable but 8N boxes are completely different. i don't believe an 8N box would fit and look original, but the 2N box ( i think) fits on the left side outside the engine and the 8N box fits behind the battery.
Hope this helps :^0
