I have an 8N that I just discovered has a 9N s/n on the engine block-9N131236, apparently the result of a previous engine change. Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the build year? I believe it to be pre-'51 as it does not have a proofmeter. Thanks for your help!!

Crawl under the tractor and wipe off the area just in front of the drain plug on the hydraulic pump base. The actual casting date of the pump will be there in mm-dd-yy format. - IF- your pump hasn't been changed, your tractor was most likely assembled within a couple of weeks after this date.

If your battery is healthy, then it will show a slight discharge when starting (ignition current) and then after it starts show about a 5 amp charge to replenish the current used for the starter. This may only be a couple of minutes and then the ammeter would show zero... or a slight charge..
Hopefully, you reversed the leads to the ammeter when you changed from pos ground to neg or if you still have the electrostatic ammeter, put the lead through the other way...
Happy Motoring

I am putting that on my calandar and see if I can make it there. I'll be the one with the silly looking backpack.

Something I learned from the grand kids.

1947? Think so?

The serial number on the engine, 9N131236, seems to indicate a production year of 1944. Engine is out of a 2N.
