Folks,
Currently doing a little restoration on my newly acquired '50 8N S/N 251323. Trying to get a feel for the sheet metal the tractor has on it, and if it could be proper or not. The hood has the Ford Script, but fenders do not. Is this correct for this vintage 8N. Appreciate any help in advance.

I agree, but if you tap them and they go "tink" they are replacement. If you tap them and they go "thud" they are original. Light humor because the replacement hood I bought must be made out of old Pepsi cans. It is lighter in pounds then the two legs.

Sounds correct to me. The script fenders were supposedly introduced in 1951, but some owners of late 1950 8N's have reported script fenders on their machines.

I think yes. The scripted fenders came out in 1950. I don't know if it is known at what serial number it changed. I'm not sure if the fenders were changed at the same time when they changed from front to side mount distributors in 1950.
