From the vintage Ford tractor resource:

9N, 2N, and 8N Ford tractors: produced from 1939 to 1952

The serial number is located on the mid-left side of the engine block on an approximately 1/2"x 3" vertical flat. The serial number is hand-stamped onto the vertical flat, not cast into the engine block. Format is model designation before sequential production number. Serial numbers for the 9N and 2N Ford begin with the designation "9N." Serial numbers for the 8N Ford begin with the designation "8N."

Easy.. left side of engine, just below the head, roughly centered over rear section of starter, and to the right of the oil cannister.

52 8n will have a side mounted distribuitor, 47-50 had a front mount distribuitor. etc.

If you really get into your 8n, check out
N-forum

Lots of 9n/2n/8n specific info
