MOST COMPLETE FORD N SERIES TRACTOR RESTORATION GUIDE
The ULTIMATE RESTORER'S GUIDE For
ORIGINALTY GUIDE By Chester Peterson, Jr.
Ford N Series tractors first appeared in 1939 as the Ford-Ferguson Model 9N. Created by the marketing genius of Henry Ford mated to the innovation of Harry Ferguson, the new 9N changed the industry in typical Ford fashion. Along with the 2N and 8N, these tractors became some of the alltime most popular lines of tractors.
Although the tractors were innovative in a number of ways, the most significant technology on the Ford 9N was Ferguson's three-point hitch and draft control, which yielded more efficient plowing.
That early three-point hitch was the forerunner to modern three-point systems, and spawned rapid advancement in hitch technology.
In Ford N Series Tractors, some of the sharpest restorations in the country are shown in nearly 200 full color images, accompanied by paint codes, decal locations, and other details necessary to correctly finish your Ford tractor.
In addition to the 9N, 2N, and 8N, the more popular conversions -Funk V-6 and V-8 tractors, crawler tread conversions, and Sherman transmissions-are covered in depth.
For anyone from the closet enthusiast to the hard-core restorer, Ford N Series Tractors provides a beautiful, informative look at one of the most-loved lines of tractor in history.
