Do I Have a power master?

I've had this tractor for about five years now and it's starting to give me problems. I thought it was an 8n, but it's a diesel with the exhaust sticking up on the left side sitting in the seat. I can't find any numbers on it but it looks like a power master. Also do the 3 point hydraulics have a fill under the seat? Thanks for you help. If you need a picture just let me know how to post it. Thanks

The diesel motors are bad about spilling battery acid right on top of the model and serial # so they are often very hard to read. If you follow the link below and post the #'s from your tractor for the first 14 pictures we can narrow down the year for you. Since you have a engine casting # of B9NN6015 it is going to be a late 1959 to early 1961.

Date Codes

If you look in picture # 9 from the top you can see the plug for adding hyd oil just to the top and right of the black circle. In picture # 4 you can see the dip stick for checking the hyd fluid.

I recomend the true Ford manuals.

Model #'s

Here's the quick and dirty rundown on Ford tractors:

9N: 1939 - 1942, painted all gray but most have since been repainted gray and red or gray and blue.

2N: 1942 - 1947, same as 9N but with a few minor upgrades through the years.

8N: 1947 - 1952, looks a lot like 9N/2N but painted gray and red. Also 3 speed trans upgraded to 4 speed trans. Position control added to hydraulic system.

NAA: 1953 - 1954: The 1953 was called Golden Jubilee in honor of FoMoCo's 50th addiversary. Many people will call any Ford with a round front emblem a Jubilee, but 1953 is the only year that name correctly applies. Bigger tractor than the 8N. Live hydraulics and an overhead valve engine are the biggest upgrades.

600/800: 1955 - 1957, 600 series is mostly the same as the NAA. 800 series has a bigger engine and rear end. Both look about the same.

700/900: 1955 - 1957, built at the same time as the 600/800 series. These are row crop (tricycle) versions. Same engines as 600/800.

601/801: 1958 - 1962: Basically the same as 600/800 but with some appearance changes and additional features available. Diesel engine became available. Power steering became more common. 601 called Workmaster, 801 called Powermaster.

701/901: 1958 - 1962, row crop versions of above. 701 also called Workmaster, 801 also called Powermaster.

The 600, 700, 800, 900 series had several different models available within each series (ie, 640 650 860 960 etc). Same with the "x01" series.
