Looks like a mutt - smooth hub on one side, riveted on the other. Bidding already up to $550, with no clue as to whether it's a runner or not.

Looks like a dipstick on the transmission cover. And the cover looks like aluminium.

Smooth hub on one side, rivited on other meand the fragil smooth hub axle broke and was replaced with a newer axle. Smooth hubs were only on firtst year or two. Don't mean a mutt, only an axle had to be replaced due to breakage.

I wounder where they broke at did the wheel fall off : ( Are did they just get an external crack in the hub...

I am not sure but I am thinking that they broke at end of axle where the hub was formed onto the axle. Used to read about that but have not seen anything for years. Used to be common to see a tractor with both kinds of axles. Think it was a forging problem.

Roger - exactly the same (dipstick / Aluminum) as my early '40 9N (SN: 13030).
