There are a few major differences between 9/2/8N. 9/2 are three speeds forward. No other options in the transmission. The steering gear is bevel gears, slight rock lumps kick the steering wheel freely, the left and right steering shafts leave the steering gear IN line with each other.

8N is four speeds foward. No other transmission options. Steering gear is a combination of a ball worm, a rack, and a pair of gears. It doesn't kick nearly so hard when a front wheel encounters and obstacle like a bit of gravel or a clod. The left and right shafts are NOT in line, one is higher than the other.

All 9/2/8N came with a front distributor except the last production year (that's what my I&T manual said. I don't have it or the toy 8N anymore) which had a side distributor. Most all the engine parts before the side distributor engine interchange including complete engines. The front distributor is a real pain to work on, though it saves a gear drive and was taken from the 30s vintage Ford V-8. Drivers of those cars also tended to run until the points were in very bad shape and only adjust and clean them when the engine would hardly run.

It is possible for a tractor to have been assembled from mixed vintage parts.

The transmission (and the wheel bolt centers) is the most distinctive difference followed by the steering gear. If its bevel gear, it can break your arms in a plowed field and thats definitely NOT an 8N.

Even at $1k, its a toy for doing real work. I had one, tried it for snow moving with a blade. I found a buyer and was quite happy to see it go.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
