New to me English 1937 Fordson N with beginner questions (in USA)!

1) Location of engine oil dipstick or oil level plug?

2) I cracked open the carburetor and found what looks to be an emulsion tube was broken off... Where to find a replacement? And some gaskets? How do I know which carburetor it is? Or am I going to have to solder it, if that is even possible?

3) Exhaust gasket/fittings for beneath the manifold to the stack?

4) Front and rear tire sizes?

5) Since this is from 1937, and the latest production was 1945, I presume that the original contemporary Fordson manuals, parts catalogs etc... are in the public domain and freely available somewhere (hopefully in PDF)?

6) Water Washer? What is that?

7) What is the filler cap on the front lower left hand side of the engine block for? If coolant, it is empty (but the radiator is full??), if Oil, well, it is too clean and doesn't look like an oil reservoir...

I'm sure I will come up with more, but if I can build my PDF library, that will help me immensely and lessen the burden of easy questions I may pose here.
 
Dennis, thank you for pointing me to that supplier!

I'm getting frustrated with the difficulties in finding information. The great search engines keep being "helpful" by suggesting corrections to another model such as F, 9N, 2N, 8N, TO20, TO30, and F40, Major, Dexta, Super Dexta...

I was able to find this, but it leaves more questions! https://fordsontractorpages.nl/ffcn...f_n/Instruction book Fordson tractor 1946.pdf

I was hoping to find equivalents to Ford Forms 3730 and 3731...

Looks like the link you posted is a very good start to doing what you want to do to yours.
Do not get discouraged . I had to find a mentor to help me with the Fordson F I have . The F and the N are similar but also very different .
I would call Bob at Fordson House and ask him about some of your questions. On the N ,he ships all over the world. So he knows some N owners that could maybe help you .
Maybe and N expert is here at YT hasn’t seen your post will have some advice.
I also encourage you to check out the site called Smokstak. I do , might be some help there.
Also the Ford Fordson collectors club is a source Help.
what I can think of now.
