    Help deciding first project - Ford 9N vs Allis-Chalmers

    Right now I should be fine with getting off and on most of them as I am 31 and do not have any leg problems. However I do have a few lower back issues that stop me from doing many things. I know I should be fine diving either in the short parades that my town has if I choose to but my back...

    You're absolutely correct. I looked up the serial and it does appear to be a 1945 2N. Your other post may also be correct too where you say this might be made from parts as this would explain what appears to be a side mount distributor on a 1945. But perhaps this could be normal. I'm learning...

    I do agree that the Allis is a generally more attractive tractor and not as plentiful. I live in central Illinois (I can't figure out how to add that to my profile quite yet) and I do see several Allis at local tractor shows, but more Fords generally. Though honestly it's mostly JD and Case...

    Yes, it has electric start. You can actually see the battery cable (also painted) to the right of the vertical steering support. And I have a photo of the other side where I can see the starter.

    Thanks for all of the replies and insight so far, I appreciate it. I was not aware that the 2N had a 9N stamped engine but the serial of 9N17*801 put it as a 1945 2N. The * is because I can not tell if it is a 0 or a 4 but either way it's 1945.

    I thought the same thing at first until I went back for a second look around. The serial plate of the Allis says "Tractor No C52835". Edit: I tried to use the "reply" option and it showed the message I was replying to but then it disappeared. Do I need to use the quote option or did I do...

    Interesting and you may very well be correct, I am quite new to these. I was unable to tell what number was before the "N" on the block and assumed it was a 9 since I know it's not an 8 and 9 seem more common.

    Help deciding first project - Ford 9N vs Allis-Chalmers

    Hi, I'm looking for a winter project to work on in the garage. This will be my first tractor and will not likely be used for any sort of work as I do not own enough property. I contacted a friend to see if they had any old tractors laying around and I found more than expected. Among the choices...
