actual engine year only matters a little. ignition components.. timing checks.. genny stuff.. etc. as any on the 39-52 engines bolt to the front bolster and tranny.
46/47 saw the major revision of the 2n to 8n. decent machines. real easy to work on. I refer the later 53+ and really(55-64) rowcrop machines... but hard to beat a lil N for many jobs.
Agreed. First tractor I ever split my FIL thought his daughters had ruined the clutch pulling bushes out. I found when I split it to rebuild clutch a casting blow hole causing oil fumes to wet clutch. Just traded it in 4 years ago for a bigger tractor with a cab. Still ran good.
