ford 2n

All was good 3 weeks ago, went to start up tractor today and it just turns over and over but won't fire. I checked for spark- all good, I checked fuel flow through carb- very good, battery strong and turns over very good. I pulled plugs and they are clean and dry. Not getting it to fire at all...

Serial number JC-158. Trying to find the correct points. I think something has been changed.

We've had a 2n doing work around our 60 acre forest / farm for many years and decided it was time to upgrade. While useful and reliable the 2n just wasn't getting things done in a timely manner. I could work on our 1/3 mile long dirt driveway for an entire weekend with the box blade and make...

Not sure how to pull the brakes off of this tractor. Do I need to pull the axle along with the drum or can it come apart seperatley? Thanks

So after 32 years of owning a 1942 Ford 2N and using it almost daily, I decided to do a valve job. But how to recondition the seats??? "lapping" the valves is really half-assed after all these hours so that was out. I decided to buy a valve cutting set from Neway. HOWEVER, I quickly found out...

Just removed all pistons from this tractor and not sure if it has sleeves or not. Cylinder sizes are: #1. 3.136 #2. 3.140 #3. 3.144 #4. 3.142 Showing a couple of pictures along with measurements, looks like a lip bu do not want to start banging away if no need. Thanks, Doug

well, I purchased this 1947 ford 2N for 600$ and have been tearing it apart one piece at a time when I have time and today I just got the oil pan off and it looks like this tractor hasn't had a thing done to it since 1947.

How do I remove the front end on a 2N Tractor? Does the bolt just unscrew?

I received one of my uncles old tractors that I believe is a 1947 Ford 2N with the 6 volt system. The tractor sat for over 10 years and the motor was frozen after pulling the plugs and loading it up wit Marvel oil and some patients it finally freed up and turns with compression. When waiting for...

I’ve tried everything I know. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, condenser. Bought a new ignition coil and rebuilt the carburetor. Removed and cleaned the fuel sediment bowl. Verified plugs are sparking and fuel is going to the carburetor. I suppose there’s a chance I could have put the...

Looking for a download PDF copy of the FORD 2N and 9N TRACTOR OWNERS INSTRUCTION OPERATING MANUAL USERS GUIDE 1939 1940 1941 1942 43. Any thoughts or links? Thank you.

This thread is in reference to a question I posted last fall -http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/parts-repairs/372850-ford-2n-lift-arms-leaking.html?highlight=#post4629378 , I finally found time to get working on my 2n lift arms to repair the leaks. When I found out that the rear end has to be...

I just started to yank my 2n apart to repair/replace the lift arm pins and in studying out the various threads on this project, got thinking about this; If I welded an ear on the self locking nut inside the trumpet, to stop it from spinning, I should be able to tighten it with the outside nut if...

1947 ford 2n converted to 12 v. I have voltage to coil but no spark. replaced condenser and points with electronic ignition. still no spark to the plugs. I ohmed coil out and read 8.36 ohms seems kindof high. Its got to be coil not passing power if I'm thinking correctly. Any advice would be...

Which direction does the seal (NCA1190A) get driven into the hub on my 2N? Does the rubber lip go against the spindle or against the bearing cone? I have read in other sites the rubber lip should be against the spindle but the picture seems to indicate it goes against the bearing cone. Just want...

I have a Ford 2N - Over the past several months I had been having more and more problems starting the tractor and keeping it running, so I replaced the plugs (Autolite 437) and replaced the sediment filter, so now I can start the tractor and it will run, but only if I have the choke pulled all...

My Ford 2n suddenly started losing power under load (shredding) and then when put in neutral and switching off the pto, it resumes running at full speed. Put it in gear and it moved on but soon lost power again. This time it was not under load. Cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel shutoff...

Hey guys - I've been helping a guy I work with try to get one of his Grandpa's tractor back in service, the issue is that the 3PT lift arms to not raise. According to his Grandpa when he bought it the 3PT worked, but he put the tractor away last fall and when he went to use it to plow snow the...

Hi all This is my second post since finding this forum. Long story short but will try and explain. I am looking to get the real low down on these tractors. I live in NY and recently bought our first home with 22 acres. I bought a new garden tractor for mowing around the house, but here we have...

I'm getting ready to work on an old Ford 2N that has been sitting for years. First the fuel system: The gas tank and sediment bowl smell like varnish. There's a small amount of old gas in the tank, maybe half a gallon. I just took the sediment bowl off and opened valve but no fuel comes out. I...

I'm in the process of rebuilding the hyd pump and lift cylinder on my "inherited" 9N. I bought a great video from Yesterday's Tractor's (thanks, Soundguy..) that details the whole process. Well, at the end of the video; the older fellow makes a strong point about the "specific" hyd oil that...

Brian from Catlett - I'm picking up a 1947 Ford 2N on Monday. Has not run for a while. Traded a riding lawn mower and some cash for it. Decent shape, was used for grass cutting at a church. They don't need it for grass cutting anymore since they have moved to their new facility but needed a...

Hi Guys, I originally purchased the 2N about 30 years when I was about 30 years old. It was in good shape. I'll look for old photos (non-digital). It was my first tractor (not that I have had many tractors). It served me pretty well considering it has no live pto, and I had no loader. Then...

Hello all i have run into a pile of problems with my 2n in the last few days. I was out plowing snow this evening and was parked on a small slant leaning towards the sediment bowl i went to go grab my shovel and the tractor died ok no prob thought i ran out of fuel checked i had half a tank...

I recently rebuilt the hydraulic pump on my 2N. It was working just fine for a little while. After rebuilding the pump the original clutch friction disk flew apart. I put a new clutch kit and a resurfaced fly wheel in and was back in business. The next part to come unwound was the overrun...

Gents: I just rebuilt my Ford 2n, Starts great but runs at 100% no matter what position the trotle is in. I just rebulit the governor...Help???

Hello, I'm now a tractor guy. My first tractor is a Ford 2N ('45 SN 9N181263). Previous owner was an 82 year old retired mechanic and the tractor starts every time and purrs like a kitten. It had been in his family since the 60s. It came with a 4' bush hog. I've purchased a 5' blade, boom...

I helped a friend bring home an old 2N today, made in 1945. It's not running but was a couple of years ago. My question is there is a part missing but we don't know what it is. It mounts below the battery into the top of the transmission case. You would see it from the front looking below the...

I helped a friend get an old 2N back from a brother in laws house with my truck and trailer. It was made in 1945 and needs a little help to get back up and running, but seems to be in pretty decent shape overall. It was running a couple of years ago, and my friend plans on using it to grade...

I know this must be a common question, and I hate bothering people. BUT from what I've been reading here so far there are alot of junkies on here that love to just talk tractors, and thats never a bother. It always brings out new info and history. What my father in law has at the cabin is a...

HI, I have a recently overhauled Ford 2N tractor.I would like to know what disc harrow would be considered the the best brand, size and type for my tractor. I hope that after my sweetcorn crop comes off this year to disc and sow oats. Allow oats to winterkill, then in the spring, disc in the oat...

Hey all, I picked up this Loader at auction. The note said "came off Ford 8N." I'm preparing to figure out how to mount this on my 2N, and I figure the first step is to identify the make and model. Any pointers on either a) make and model or b) instruction, guidance or manuals would be...

I've posted tons of pictures of my Ford 8N and my New Holland TC18, but it occured to me that the 2N has never made an appearance on TBN. Since I'm losing my storage, and I don't have the time, money, or resources to tackle the restoration project myself, I've listed it on Ebay for someone who...
