I bought an old 2N a few weeks ago from a neighbor. I brought it home and went right to work. Radiator was leaking, pulled the hood and radiator. I ll have the old one patched as a spare but went ahead and ordered a new radiator, thermostat and a set of hoses. I went over the tractor making a list of parts needed and maintenance that should be performed.
I am taking it down to bare metal and will paint it back the original dark grey color.
My goal is to have a clean example to represent our history of agriculture. I ll use it at the local antique pull meets, parades and around the house with garden and yard work. Searching for a nice used mowing deck now
First picture is back in October when I borrowed it to turn my garden. Current pics today
She holds good oil pressure and overall is in good condition.
I am a mechanic by trade, and with working on today s electronically controlled engines and vehicles this simple tractor is refreshing to work on. It s simplicity is almost foreign to me.
