Jason,
I think I see the dilemma here. You have found a 9N that you want and you"re looking for reasons to justify buying it. The folks have done their best to tell you to forget it. I"ll tell you the same. A 9N Ford is about as useless as teats on a boar hog...and especially for what you need. Walk away and forget you ever found it.
Spend some time shopping around...you may have to drive some distance to find the machine you NEED.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
