You seem to have a connection with the Tractor Gods. Lucky rascal.

We will have to do some research and have a talk about oil breather caps on early 9n's. Both 90 and 91 came with that same cap. How will I ever find a hood for 481 if you keep getting them first............Nice find

Did you find it like Joe Blow might on CL, FBMP or along the road locally, or via connections?

And did the seller now what they had, or was it just an old tractor to them?

Found on side of road. Owner had it for 35 years. Yes owner knew it was a rare bird. Didn’t get it on the cheap. Willing to pay up when I have to

I don't think that is a 39. The rear axle hubs have rivets and a 30 does not have rivets. The end of the axle is smooth on a thirty-nine.

I don't think that is a 39. The rear axle hubs have rivets and a 30 does not have rivets. The end of the axle is smooth on a thirty-nine.

Those smooth butt-welded hubs were fragile and sheared at the weld between the axle and hub frequently and many were replaced with the stronger riveted version. Does not keep it from being a 39 model.

Latch with handle tells you it ain’t what he’s looking for

Yes both 147 and189 have same oil breather cap as yours. Here’s Kenton Tiller’s #59 engine

 

[Paul Ct]

Kirt, 481 has that same oil breather cap. I'm beginning to think that we'll have to put the big caps back on 90 & 91. I wonder at what number they went to the smaller caps.

 

[Kirk-NJ]

I looked at Bob Johnson’s photo of his #52 tractor also looks like a big cap
