You know how your driving down the road and you see a N and, well, the truck just pulls over. Thats what I did yesterday. Stopped to look at what seemed to be a great looking 9N. correct color and all. It even had the original emblems on the hood. But, there's always a but, the engine's ser # was 8N early 48. He still wanted 3,200.00 for it. As if that wasn"t enough, He told me he had another N out back. The saliva started. We went around back and there stood a handsome 8N. Pretty good sheet metal too. So I did what we all do. I looked at the Ser # to check the date. You won't believe it. IT had a 1940 9N engine in it. Thought, If I had a little more money to waste, and the time too, I'd get them both, just to correct the situation. They will never be perfect, but something in me just wants to get those engines in the right tractors. Thought You'd get a kick. be safe. Dale IN Va.

I also share the obsessive compulsive disorder....everything has to be just "right". See a head doctor, and remember, to some people it's just a tool.

repeat after me...

to some people it's just a tool.
to some people it's just a tool.
to some people it's just a tool.
(cheap import ford logo)
to some people it's just a tool.
to some people it's just a tool.
(wrong front hubs)
to some people it's just a tool.
to some people it's just a tool.
(incorrect 12V conversion. Blasphemous GM alternator)
to some people it's just a tool.
to some people it's just a tool.
(spray can paint job, wrong color grey)
AAAAA hhhhh hhhhh!

Take Care
Steve

When a tool breaks, you get rid of it and get a new one. Who in their right mind would do that with an N?:-)

Yep. Got all that, but the cheap ford logo.Thats the next thing I gotta get.I'm getting over the disorder though. I let them sit there. Went home and slept well. Think the cure is getting on the N and riding a little. Liked the repeat after me thing. It helped. See ya.

That's why you should never try to restore 2 tractors at the same time. Same theory applies to changing spark plug wires 8^)
