Four 9Ns

[HCooke]

Took a family picture. Had plenty of time on my hands lately and got all four 9Ns running and lined up for a photo.

Best looking line up since the original "Charlie's Angels"!

 

[Jim L WA]

Henry would be proud. Great photo.

 

[JMOR]

Great picture! Great collection! Do I see all small generators except the last one? That is a feat in itself!

Is that an original aluminum hood an the first tractor from the left?

Yes, 9N 445!

Very, very nice. How about some details about each one like the aluminum grills/hoods, snap in battery doors, small generators, 32" wheels, smooth hubs, double rib fenders, etc.

All the tractors are registered on the 'other' site. From left to right:

9N445 Aluminum Hood and steering box, double rib fenders smooth axles, 32" wheels, small generator, original manifold, original gas tank with center fill, original air cleaner. Four spoke steering wheel, grill and snap in battery door are reproductions. Firestone tires front and rear. Large tank no pressure radiator. 20/20 ammeter. I bought the tractor in the Texas hill country - an ebay purchase.

9N5262 Very close to original with double rib fenders, smooth axles, center fill gas tank, large radiator, original air cleaner, small generator. Bought this tractor in northeast Tennessee. It had been in the same family for a number of years. Has CM Hall headlights and Taurus tail ight. Saw ad in Yesterday Tractors.

9N7807 Similar to 5262 with double rib fenders, smooth axles, 32" wheels, etc, Has a Sherman step up transmission. Bought tractor in southern Illinois on an ad from the 'other' site.

9N18765. Single rib fenders, 'C' generator, large radiator, 32" wheels, and all other correct stuff. 4 spoke steerinbg wheel and aluminum grill are reproductions. I bought this tractor about 30 min from my home in eastern MO on a tip from a poster on the 'other' site.

I placed an ad 2 years ago in the N-News to sell all four either as a package or individually. I got a few calls but no offers. Recently (out of the blue) a collector called me about that ad. We have had several phine conversations and have agreed on a price a week or two ago, but I have not received any payment as yet. The buyer may be trying to arrange shipping.

I am refreshing my 2N and i have a question. Did you paint the 'Ford' 'Ferguson system' emblems or did you just buy new? I'm deciding if I can just paint them and do a silver paint pen on the script.

 

[HCooke]

I have done both. Probably bought new on 445.

[L,B,]

Very nice indeed.

AWESOME! Further curiosity. I have family in Hill Country, Texas, New Braunfels. We visit once per year. My nephew went to Shreiner University in Kerrville, Texas. On one of our trips we visited him and not far away was a tractor shop that had some N parts. I bought some fenders there.
Was your tractor anywhere near there?
