So I picked up this Fordson tractor from my girlfriends dad. It was only 300 bucks and in the words of diesel creek I couldn’t afford not to buy it LOL. The serial number that ive found on the side of the block is *8NI04370* (hopefully that is the one needed to check info). I think I’ve narrowed it down from 1948-1954. Any help with a more accurate ID would be greatly appreciated. Next question is the flywheel, there’s a 2-3 inch long section where the teeth are worn/stripped from previous owners towing it around trying to jump start it. I’m wondering if anyone has P/N’s or leads to a flywheel. Lastly (as long as the picture properly uploads) I know it’s painted the wrong colours LMAO (the colour choice may even offend some people LOL) that was not my doing whatsoever. What would be the period correct colour options for my tractor? I’m a mechanically inclined 23 year old truck driver hoping to bring this sweet little tractor back to life!! I know there’s a lot of info to unpack here but hopefully you guys can make sense of it and help a fella out.
Any info or time spent helping me is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
