1941 Ford Tractor 8N??

Hi gang,
A farmer friend has a 1941 Ford 8N tractor. After 15 years of sitting, he finally decides to get it running. Anyone know anything about them or a web site for them?

Thanks in advance
Walter

Try www.ford8n.com/ for parts or just search on Ford 8N for general reference material. There are lots of sites for these old workhorses.

Try http://www.nseries.com/ Sounds like he's got a Ford/Ferguson 9N there if it is indeed a 41.

There are many good sites for old tractors. Just search "tractors" and you'll find them all. That is a great old tractor, and you'll find many forums on it. Good Luck.

The last time I saw one of these, I was 9 years old, and learning to drive. Brings back good memories.

Thanks for the tips. The ford8n.com seemed to be the best. Why didn't I think of searching that?
I'm hoping to get a crack at helping fix this thing. Hydraulics are pretty beat but it could be an intresting challange.

Thanks Again
Walter

Walter,
You'll have a lot of fun with the tractor - I'm sure you know they are just half of the V8 and the changes in model designations came roughly the same time as those in the V8's. Its been a while since I saw the specs, but if I remember right the bore sizes are the same and knowing Ford's use of parts in multiple applications, probably quite a few parts are the same.
Be sure to check out this link if you haven't found it on your own - http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/ntracz.pl?m=fordn
Good luck with it. - tim

I have a 48 8N if I can be of help. My brother worked for a Implement company and did just about everything to the 8N's.

Walter, just for reference, you can still purchase many of the common engine and hydraulic parts at local farm/ranch stores like Country General.

The vintage ford tracor resource page is an excellent place to start. I own a 1956 ford 600 and have gotten some great info from this site.
