  • 8N Ford Tractor???
  • This picture is from the late 1950s or early 1960s. Looks like an 8n Ford tractor to me. Am I correct???

  • We don't have much to work with here, Jeff, but I'd say it is an 8N, later than mid-49 as the generator has been moved to the left side which means it has a side-mount distributor. I would have to disagree with Gaspump about the tires and bumper. To me, it looks like it has the original 4 x 19 front wheels but the tires are later three-rib implement style, not the original single rib implement 4 x 19. The rear tires look like 45 deg closed bar centers, and the bumper has teh curved 'S' side bars which would be original. We just can't see the fourth horizontal bar on it from your picture. Hope you and/or your brother own it...

  • Tim, I said aftermarket grill, replacement front tires. What to disagree about?

  • Unfortunately we don't own the tractor and are tryng to figure out where the picture was taken. My father in law has passed away and my brother in law (the kid in the picture) doesn't remember the picture being taken.

  • No doubt it is a mid 1950-1952 8N. I would date the picture in the 1960's to 70's. The rear tires may be original and the fronts are replacements. Also, the grill is an aftermarket and not the original 8N. Neat photo, thanks.

  • Thanks for the information. That's great. The child in the picture is my brother in law and he was born in 1955 so the picture has to be in the early 1960s at the latest.

  • It has the generator on the right side so it would be a 1950 thru 1952 8N

  • Kind of small picture but it sure looks like an 8N.
