There is a cult like following of the 9/8N Ford. They have found their niche with the make believe farmers who mow grass and tend to a few horses. I'm not slamming them as they were originally intended to replace a team of horses on a 40-80 acre farm and Ford, with there mass production expertise, could turn them out by the hundreds of thousands. We considered them absolutely unsafe at the time for the type of farming we did and there was no way they could pull two plows in red clay. In fact, we called them "garden tractors" long before there was such a thing. Ford didn't have the two plow pulling power that we needed until the 800 series came along in about 1955. For personal entertainment, I recommend reading the Ford 8/9N board posts to see all of the problems, particularly ignition, that N's have to this day.
