serial number, what model and year

[Jacob Kramer]

I have recently purchased a tractor that is my first and need to know year and model. On the left side of block is 9N28II60 with stars, not asterisks before and after the number. There is a L176 close to the starter. This tractor has a front mount dist. Please let me know what this is or where I can go to find out.
Thanks

According to Smith's it is a 47 2N engine at least. Thanks for the help.

The first 1947 s/n was 258,504; so a s/n of 281,160 makes it a 1947. The L176 by the starter is the casting date of the block. The letter stands for the month (A=January, B=Feb, etc) I'm told the the letter "I" was not used in the month code, so "L" would be November. November 16, 1946 is the date the block was cast.
