Too many people automatically assume 8N when they see a Ford tractor. The 8N was built from 1947 to 1952. period. It never had a diesel and it did not have a round hood emblem. It also never was offered in tricycle configuration.
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.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
