Magneto on 2N

[dennisinoklahoma]

Is there any way to tell if a 2N came out with a magneto?

Anyone know where to find a list of 2N serial numbers for tractors than came out with the magneto and steel wheels?

I have a very low serial number on my 42 2N but it has a standard distributor and standard rubber tires. If it originally had steel, I will convert it back. I may convert it anyway for the local tractor show next year.

I believe the magneto was only on the 1942 2ns.
take a look at John Smiths site

IF it was originally equiped with a mag, and IF it has the original doglegs, the left one will have a hole for the choke rod.

In looking at tractors over the years and some research I have estimated that from about serial# 9N100000 to about serial# 9N120000 had the magneto and crank start from the factory, steel wheels started at about serial# 9N99003 and maybe a short time after electric start was available also, the choke rod hole in the RH dogleg (side panel) continued through 1944 but was not used for anything.

I am pretty sure the 42 2N all had a serial number starting with 9N and no serial numbers started with 2N.

Ron,

If you are just bragging, I am jealous. If you are selling or trading I may be interested. [email protected]
