Rookie's tractor, what do you think

Here is a photo of my tractor. I was told it is a '41 9N, but the serial # is 9N187440*. Does this look right? Or is it a 2N.

The big ugly front bucket seems heavy, which makes it easy to spin the back wheels. I guess just one of the back wheels has a fluid in it, which does not spin much. I may take off the bucket when not using so I can mow the woods easier (if it is eay to do)

Let me know what you think, I'll keep you posted on my new adventure.

And YES, you've just discovered the effects of weights center of gravity balance that frontend loaders cause. Check each rear tire for "water" by pressing on the valvestem when at bottom of rotation. Simple, eh?

One spinning rearwheel may or maynot be weight related, could be natural torqueing effect of the differential on tires that have little ag-bar tread for minimal traction.

Some figger out somesort of a FEL counter-balance scheme to hook to their rear 3-point lift to counteract the FEL weight for better traction and eazier steering..... ....Dell

Here you go.

That looks like a fine tractor you got there!

Good luck,
