9NBN question
Hello, I have a few questions about a tractor that I have. The serial number is a little bit weird. *9NBNII4945*. I understand that the BN signifies that it was a military unit. But I can find any information anywhere where there was an II in a serial number. I thought maybe they were 1's, but upon looking they are most definitely I's. I'm trying to determine the year of the tractor and what those mean. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Re: 9NBN question
Thank you very much. That would explain why things didn't seem to quite match up when I was trying to figure out the year..

Re: 9NBN question
If you look at the red menu bar at the top of your screen, you will see a tab labeled "Image Hosting" and it gives you two options. We do not allow direct uploads to our site here so you have to store your photos elsewhere and then link back to them. If you prefer, you may email them to me and I will post them for you.

Re: 9NBN question
I emailed the photos to you. The tractor has been painted, but where the current paint is chipping, i can see the grey paint that would have been on the industrial series.

Re: 9NBN question
9NBN would indicate an industrial model. The military tugs were B-NO-40 or 25. You are seeing "I" but it is a "1". Ford used the "I" for "1" and lowercase "b" for "6" and "9". They did not have a PTO or a 3-point lift. I'll dig up a couple of photos for you and post after this.
