Check Ford board for models 9N and 2N differences. Variations of basic tractor due to war supply conditions varied- some models that had rubber tires before war were sold civilian use with steel wheels. JD and some others had transmission lockout road/high gear bolts to prevent the use of high speed gears in transmissions designed for rubber tires when being used with steel wheels. Lighting and electric starters might be unavailable options. Some tractor models might not have been made during certain times- Case VA and IHC not made for short time or couple years, others may have info on lack of production for others. Massey and Cockshutt Canadian (Commonwealth) manufacture was war start 1939. Other tractors made but only for military and government contractor-as airplane tugs (Cletrac?), defense plant material handler, army utility puller- after war sales to civilian market puts uncommon features on the farm. Check archives, have fun. RN
