Foot rests/running boards

[DZG300]

New guy again with another question....

The 45 2N i just bought is missing the running boards.

Anyone used the cheapo Ebay ones? Or am i better off looking for a oem set? Or anyone have suggestions for good ones?

9n/2n never had running boards. Any you find on those tractors will be aftermarket or homemade. 8N had running boards,

When the 9N/2N came out they didn't have the foot board just the pegs. Any foot board where all after market

I think I have one 8N foot board on my 9 N . One is all I really need.

Where are you located? I have a set in east Iowa, but I'll bet most any tractor salvage yard would have some.

DZ - not sure what part of Southern MI you are in, but if near Flint, there's Grand Blanc Tractor Sales on Dixie, just south of Gand Blanc. Dave Steiner used to own it, not sure if he still does (his family runs the big Steiner in Lennon MI). Kinda fun just to walk thru his yard of junk tractors.

I moved away from Davisburg in 2019, so no way for me to know for sure he's even there, but here's a screen shot from google street view. A mix of green, red, gray and orange tractors. There may be other tractor recyclers near you.

There is nothing at all special or complicated about 9N foot boards.
They're made out of a couple of feet of flatbar and a scrap of diamond plate.
Any 10th grader in his first year of welding class could fabricate identical, indistinguishable replicas with ease.
Grab a tape measure, pad and pencil and draw them up. No biggy!

Welding is an art that is learned over time and it takes practice and then more practice. I started to learn how to weld at the age of 16 when I got one of those $19.95 welders from a magazine and while it worked it was junk. Over the years I practiced and got better. I have learned stick, tig and mig welding over the years and at one time I cut a soda can in half and welded it back together and it held water.

Yes, my 9N.

I think these came from Amazon memory is not serving about that.

Thats pretty damn impressive.

The only thing ive successfully welded was the tailgate hinge on my F250 lol.

I should practice though....i could patch some of my rusty trucks.

Start at the bench. Take scrap pieces of iron and try welding them to each other then take a pipe wrench and try to break them apart. Years ago I applied for a mig welding job and was given a welding test. The fist time I tried they broke the weld 2nd try they broke the metal I had did the welding on. That also was the very first time I had mig welded. But I had stick and tig welded for years so mig was easy to figure out

I have a very nice shop made pair I purchased decades ago from legendary N-board member tOTG. You can have them for the cost of shipping.
