You not knowing how to fix something is part of the interest or reason for why I like watching your videos. Be curious about the things you don't know and find solutions to those things. for me, that's what makes good videos better.
You do not have to pull the hood off of that tractor all you have to do is pull 3 letter boats and that will come apart the distributor and the coal all comes off at 1 time
The belly mower is got to be rare because I never seen one where I live .. I have a Ford 8N they are great tractors.. and if that is a 3 speed tractor it's a 2N or 9N .. only 8N had a 4 Speed just to let you know
Yeah, I've heard it's pretty unique to have a belly mower for these tractors. I did figure out it is a 2n since it has the 3 speed and the bigger looking hubs in the wheels. I talked to her grandpa over Thanksgiving, and he said it came from a golf course around 1990 when they switched to zero turn mowers! It's so cool to hear the history on it!
@@savingoldjunk7085 That's (mostly) not a lie (because that tractor line is just slight updates): the 9n was released in 1939, then very slightly modified as the 2n in 1942 (partially due to material shortages from ww2), then the 8n was an update in 1948 (different wheels, 4 speed transmission, slightly higher compression in same engine). The 9n and 2n were also painted all grey, the 8n was the first of the red and grey that everyone associates with the ford line.
I have an 1950 8n and a 1947 2n myself that I've just started working on, hence why I was suggested your video. Parts are readily available from steiner tractor, and i recommend the shop manual they carry for the 9/2/8n for repair information.
I can't give a link, but search ford 8n serial numbers. The number is on the block, on a raised boss to the right of the oil filter housing mount. 9n and 2n serials start with "9n", 8n start with "8n"
oh I like that mower set up. nice. without watching this whole thing I sure hope your not amateur hour like another guy who got an 8n out of a barn and used pliers an awful lot and had no clue what he is doing. first off if you dont know about the machine buy the reprints of the genuine manuals and proper tools to work on it.
8Ns had different set up on brake peddles. You likely have a 2N model.
I agree. Look at the wheels.
Easiest way to tell for sure is to see how many speeds it has. Only 8Ns had four.
People sure don't know what their Ford tractors are everyone thinks they're either a 9N or an 8N so way don't they learn the difference
@@duanebolen543 I don't think many people even know that 2N's exist.
Looks like a late 2N. Sweet tractor
Thank you!
Yup a 2N nice looking machine !
Sure is!
IT IS A 9N MODEL !
Yes. 2N
Did you clean the contact services of the points on the ignition
Yep! I ended up cleaning the contacts for the points, carburetor, and replacing the coil to get it running which happened in part 2 on my channel!

Thank you for the comment! I really appreciate it!
I never seen a belly mower for a 2n,8n, 9n tractor before. I have a 52 8n use it all the time in the summer.
Yeah, I've never seen one before! It was used for a golf course for years, and then they replaced it for a giant 8ft zero turn mower!

Thank you for the information! I'll try that!
What is the belly mower model??
I'll have to check next time I'm at my aunt's!
I fix one that sat 10 years everything was good but the exhaust was plugged with acorn shells. Unplugged VAROOM
Haha, it's amazing how animals make these things their homes!

Thanks for the information! I was told it was an early 8N!

Thank you so much for the Information on it! Is there a location or way to tell what year exactly my 2n is?

Its not an 8N. I believe it’s a late 9N or early 2N. I have an early 9N that I’m restoring and a running, working ‘52 8N
Yes sir he.s got a 2 n r a 9 ,n

Tyler, I've since learned it isn't for so many wonderful people commenting on it!
@@savingoldjunk7085 the history of the n series tractor is amazing what they did with them from industry to military.
I totally agree! After posting this video and getting so many comments from people, I went and looked into the history of them and it's amazing!
get some body that knows how to fix it u sure don’t
