Folks, here's someone advertising a 52 8N that actually is a 52. Most aren't.
No, not mine, though I do have one.

Yep, 95% of 8N's for sale a 52's and 95% of 9N's are 1939's.
And 1954's are Jubilees as well.
Most of the time just an honest mistake, but I did have a guy tell me I didn't know what I was talking about because his father bought his 9N new in 1936.

Two winters ago I was at a holiday/Christmas banquet and my wife introduced me to a fellow Ford tractor owner. I thought, cool!
We got to talking tractor and he said he had a 54 Jubilee. I reminded him that only the 53s are Jubilees. He insisted. Partys are supposed to be fun so I just let it go. Later, after he had a couple adult beverages he came back and was determined I was wrong. It happens we both know Alex, a Ma and Pa Ford tractor and parts seller (Tractorland Inc.) and I have Alex's # on my phone. So I called and asked him.
Gave the phone to the party guy and Alex told him the difference. He got a bit sour and left.
One year later, the same holiday banquet and he wouldn't have a thing to do with me.
He is a decent sort, has hunting land near mine so I kinda wish I hadn't burst his bubble.

I had to back off with my FIL his 46 2n was a 9n to him and he wouldn't have any of it any other way. To him all ford tractors were 9n's when he called me to see if I wanted his neighbors 9n I went up to look at it it was an 8n It goes by the name Mr. Ed now. Some times you just let it go BTW he was 89 yrs. old he could call what ever he wanted.

A wise man picks his battles very carefully. What year an N is ain't one of them.
Which fillister head screw?
I've got what I believe is a 51 ser # 8N 37802?, can't read the last digit clearly. My lift arms appear to be the same as the pics of that tractor. I've owned it for 35 years but somethings might have been changed before I got it. What would be the difference in upper lift arms from 51 to 52?

That screw is on the front of the steering column just below the steering wheel. You can add lube to the steering gear box through there and it will get some oil on the top bearing.
Upper lift arms are fatter on the 52 than previous models. Another thing unique to the 52 (later ones anyway) there is a bulge on the side of the transmission case near the clutch peddle for a larger reverse idler gear which was used in the NAA series.

Upper lift arms on 51 are identical to 39-50 upper lift arms and are oval in cross section. These lift arms proved to be of insufficient strength and were prone to bending.
Upper lift arms used only on 52 8Ns were strengthened and are roughly rectangular in cross section.
1952 8Ns only have a fillister head screw in the steering column between the dash and the steering wheel. Earlier Ford tractors do not have this screw.

Well, it's not like you put the call on speaker phone to share his ignorance with the world.
I always wonder just how people w/ such fragile egos survive the real world.
Especially when they lose their chit over something trivial.
