Good luck with your new/used tractor.I love them old fords,I had a few 8n & 9n fords that were very good tractors.coobieSuper_Chief said:picked it up for 1800
Cannot decipher the numbers on the build plate aft of the starter
11-0
1076569 ?
looks like some kind of logo stamped there but not the Ford logo.
This is the second tractor I have ever bought
26 years in the Navy and another pushing a desk,
The only problem I see so far is "slow lift" on the hitch.
Stays in position when stopped and drops OK.
The shifter is really sloppy hopefully an easy fix.
Thanks for your help so far.

Haven't had a chance since bringing it home (no implements to weigh it down)
A little hilly where I parked it so haven't been able to "put her in neutral and put my weight on it" Gotta find a flat spot,
I may have to jiggle the lever under the seat to see if iit a solution or part of the problem.
Should it stop pumping with the lever up or down?
How many seconds should it take to lift?
The sloppy gear shift (4 speed) is awful. Flops all over the place and have to guess and clutch it to find reverse. I think there is probably a pin through in the case that may be gone, probably gonna go with a new one as the top is all chewed up so can't put a knob on it.
Thanks,
