theres a big difference in price in different areas, but here one in the condition you describe,$1500 to maybe $2000 for a pretty one wouldnt be unreasonable without the brushhog.that wouldnt bring a whole lot here maybe $200. folks here have some aversion to the 2n for some reason,they will go for a 9n or a 8n but mention 2n and youve lost a lot of them. dont know why that is,maybe something to do with the war models?

You might get $1,000 to $1,500 in my area Central/Southeastern Ohio), maybe more if it's pretty (for the gentleman farmer crowd). The runners I've seen at auction lately (though not pretty) have gone for $600 - $800 without a mower. I agree that calling it what it is (2N) will confuse the uninformed. I know when I was looking 20 some years ago I only knew 9N or 8N (and thought the 9N was better/newer because it was the higher model number!).

LOL I got an 8N last with an alternator hangin off the side and I wouldn't look for a genny with you money....that Alt makes it worth a little more to me.
As far as the original question, check your locak CL and see what others are asking.

MnNC........how do you tell the difference between an ALUMINUM colored alternator and a 6V-genny? Most 6V-gennys look BLACK and LONG like the starter motor on the other side of the engine. Simple, eh? ........respectfully, the amazed Dell

Any Ford tractor built prior to 1976 had a generator from the factory so if you see an alternator on one it has been converted.
