After attempting various methods of trying to read my lightly stamped serial number on my 8N, I finally found the solution. I first stripped off the paint with a Naval Jelly paint remover, then cleaned off the bare cast iron with mineral spirits and let dry good. I then used Magna-Flux ( a spray penetrant and developer for checking for cracks in cast iron castings ) to bring out the numbers and they were as I had suspected. I had a slight doubt because some days I would "see" a 2 in front of the rest of the numbers which would make it two years older. Also, the casting code says: I167... ( September 16, 1947 ). It helps to use a good magnifying glass, too. Thanks to all the methods suggested here on the YT forum, also.

At least your serial no problems are now over. When I finally got mine readable, it yielded 8N351766. And I've never been able to settle the dispute over whether it is a '50 or '51 based on that serial no!!

Hi Lars. According to the table from a Ford tractor dealer service bulletin below, you have a '51:

Wow!! Thanks, I really appreciate that. Right from the horse's (meaning Ford's) mouth. Case closed.
