Nice oil pan

[reomack]

I have an N oil pan sitting in my garage not doing anyone any good and taking up space. If anyone here needs one, it can be had for the cost of shipping. I live in Littleton, North Carolina if you want to drop by and pick it up.

Very generous offer reomack! Glad to see someone passing the parts forward.
I'm not close and don't currently need one, but still glad to see the tradition continue!

Good morning ReoMack,
If no one local comes by I should really take you up on your generous offer.
Unlike most of you, I did not get my first tractor till I was 20 or so. 1941 9N.
I'll confess to being ignorant on operating it-right down to knowing nothing about the locking brake pawl.
Upon going through a gate, I'd cut the wheels hard to the right while I shut the gate. Of course it rolled enough to straighten wheels out then it took a hard left down a step hill hitting the one single rock at the bottom of the pasture going airborne before crashing through a board fence. All with a rotary mower on back, raised of course. I ran down and quickly shut it off.
After a stern warning on the matter from my friend who saw a few farmers maimed and killed, as he saw the change from horses to tractors, he said JB Weld might work.
We found almost all the pieces from the hole in the pan and if I remember we also used some screen of some sort. It was meant to be temporary of course, but thirty years later it is stll there.
