9N New Owner

I inherited my great grandfathers Ford Ferguson 1940 9N. This was the first tractor he ever purchased.

At a glance I cannot read the serial on the tractor itself due to rust, but I have the original Ford Tractor gift binder that shows serial No. 8223.

I'm guessing it hasn't run in several decades. It was up on jack stands and the hand crank turns over the rear wheels.

It is rusty and greasy and rather worn looking, but I would like to restore it to the best of my ability.

My question for the experts is what are some of the things I should look out for that may be a show stopper on a full restoration?

Thanks,

Dustin
