1939 9N *9N000001* *9N010233* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 3 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 23.07 12.80 The first 9Ns produced had cast aluminum hood, transmission cover and grill. Many of these are lost now, due to the fragility of this material.
1940 9N *9N010234* *9N045975* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 3 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 23.07 12.80 By 1940 (I don't know if anyone is quite sure just when, in 1939) Ford had changed the rear tire size from 8" x 32" to 10" x 28
1941 9N *9N045976* *9N088887* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 3 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 23.07 12.80 The 9N (and the subsequent 2N) both used a larger rear (approximately 18") and front (approximately 8") axle hub than the later 8N
1942 9N *9N088888* *9N099002* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 3 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 23.07 12.80 Harry Ferguson developed the 3-point lift system that was utilized in the Ford N tractors. Harry had first introduced this lifting system in a "failed" David Brown

1943 2N *9N105375* *9N126537* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 3 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 23.07 12.80 Some of the changes that were implemented in 1942 (and had mostly disappeared by 1943) were magneto ignition and steel wheels.
1944 2N *9N126538* *9N169981* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 3 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 23.07 12.80 All 9N and 2N tractors were originally painted grey. The original color was a solid, "battleship" grey.
1945 2N *9N169982* *9N198730* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 3 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 23.07 12.80 Certain components of the tractor were painted black, i.e. the generator and starter.

1947 8N *8N000001* *8N037907* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 These changes culminated in a new Ford tractor model, the 8N. Ford also changed the paint scheme with the model change, to the now familiar "Red Belly" design.
1948 8N *8N037908* *8N141369* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 The 8N had a new 4-speed transmission and the new gearing implemented in this transmission increased the available horsepower of the tractor
1949 8N *8N141370* *8N216988* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 The 'semi-adjustable' steering box consisted of 2 sector gears that could be reversed to remove "slop" from the steering. The 8N also incorporated a new front and rear axle hub… a much smaller diameter that is noticabley different from the 9N/2N hubs.
1949 8N *8N216989* *8N245363* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 In 1949 Ford revamped the steering box on the 8Ns, going to a fully adjustable design. This still wasn't power steering, but did allow for better longevity of the steering system.
1950 8N *8N245364* *8N263843* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Front 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 All Ford N tractors, from 1939 - 1952 are 4-cylinder with a firing order of 1-2-4-3, CCW rotation. Up until 'now' the distributor was on the front of the tractor.
1950 8N *8N263844* *8N363592* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Side 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 Mid year 1950 Ford moved the distributor to the side of the engine… where it uses a distributor cap that is more "common" to later vehicles. At this point the generator was moved to the left-hand side of the tractor and a proofmeter was added to record hours worked as well as engine RPM with a rudimentary scale to ground speed and PTO RPMs.
1951 8N *8N363593* *8N433577* 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Side 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 Prior to "mid-year" 1951, all N tractor serial numbers were preceded and succeded with an asterisk (*) which indicated hardened steel sleeves.
1951 8N ^8N433578^ ^8N442034^ 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Side 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 In 1951 the serial numbers were changed to precede and succede with a diamond (represented here by ^) which indicated cast iron sleeves. Cast iron sleeves are .098" thicker than hardened steel sleeves. Many N tractors have been retrofitted with cast iron sleeves during an engine rebuild, however the serial number symbol is rarely modified.
1952 8N ^8N442035^ ^8N524076^ 123ci 4-cylinder flathead Side 4 speed manual PTO driven 540RPM Transmission 27.32 20.80 1952 was the final production year for the 8N and the tractor remained relatively unchanged through the end of its production. The only change that I'm aware of occurred 'sometime' mid-year 1952… reverse was slowed down. This is evidenced by a slight 'hump' in the transmission casing, next to your left heel, seated on the tractor.

1952 Golden Jubilee ^NAA00001^ ^NAA02379^ 134ci 4-cylinder OHV Side 4 speed manual Engine driven 540RPM Transmission 31.00 25.00 The first NAA tractors were built in calendar year 1952, for model year 1953. This has caused some "contention" with Ford tractor enthusiasts as some owners of NAAs built in 1952 like to tout having a 1952 Golden Jubilee.
1953 Golden Jubilee ^NAA02380^ ^NAA77474^ 134ci 4-cylinder OHV Side 4 speed manual Engine driven 540RPM Transmission 31.00 25.00 1953 was the 50th (Golden) anniversary of Ford Motor Company. And to commemorate the occasion the model 1953 (NAA) Ford tractor was dubbed the "Golden Jubilee". Although there were still many similarities (as well as interchangeable) parts with the 8N, the most evident visible difference between the 2 tractors was the hood. The NAA featured the 'cyclops' circular badge on the front of the hood, with the distinctive "hump" down the center line.
1954 NAA ^NAA77475^ ^NAA_____^ (?) 134ci 4-cylinder OHV Side 4 speed manual Engine driven 540RPM Transmission 31.00 25.00 There were no functional differences in the NAA between model years 1953 and 1954. The functional differences between the NAA and its predecessor, the 8N, included an overhead valve engine (with a larger displacement, for more horsepower) and an engine driven hydraulic pump which removed the requirement to have the PTO turning to enable use of the 3-point lifting system
