My budget is pretty low so the other brands around here are out of my reach. But while were on the subject of old ford tractors-which seem to be what I like the most- thought I would ask. I heard the 8 is better then the 9 but have not heard much about the 2N.Īny input on this one? Sorry to change it up on you guys. This era of fords seem to be popular around here. So I am grabbing a friend to go check it out. I told him I want a tractor that will work for a living not for showing off. He said its not a collector tractor but it does not interfere with it "working for living". I spoke with him last night and am going out to look it over.It has been for sale awhile but everyone calls him seems to want a "show tractor", which this one has those few dents so they lose interest. Then I found another Ford from a local guy whom said he is out of town with it at the moment helping a friend do some work on their land and is using this ford 2n (1947) to get things done.ġ947 FORD 2N TRACTOR, RUNS GREAT, GOOD TIRES AND FENDERS, FRONT OF HOOD IS DENTED, 3POINT AND PTO IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION $1250 Thanks guys for all the great input, the guy called me back and the other person looking at it bought it. Also remote hydraulics are a good thing on the rear that can run various implements like log splitters. If possible hook to a ground engaging implement and lupp it to load the tractor down. RUn through all the gears to check for excessivie noise or whining. look for white smoke or excessive black smoke. Get it hot and check the transmission fluid, and the oil after warm. My advice would be to run it for about an hour to 45 minutes and see if they will put an implement behind it to try the lift. We have had some rough operators on it to. Pulled leveling boxes around on 100 acre parking lots, pulled landscaping rakes and used a rear dirt scoop to move small ammounts of soil to our various land scaping around the site. Puleld trailers, box bladed, used a small tree grubber to pull out 3 inch diameter trees, seeded and fertilized finished cells. But for the last 10 or so years this tractor has bushogged 70 open acres atthe landfill and others sites around the plant. Parts can be had at any Case NewHolland dealership.Īs for being reliable we hdid have to have the fuel injector pump rebuilt last year as some watery fuel got in it and it froze last winter. You can buy an add on Powersteering set up pretty reasonably. It may have an internal one on the gear box but most had the external cylinder set up like mine andthe one at work. One thing that concerns me about that tractor in the picture is that steering box arm from the steering box out to the fron end I dont see a power assist stearing cylinder on it. Also the one in the pic has the bright yellow Ford Industrial paint coming through. It has a loader with a backhoe attachment to. I own an industrial 3550 Ford industrial tractor. That tractor has the the straight axle for heavier work like loader or grading and lower gravity for mowing slopes.
The ag version like we have at work has an axle on the front with drop down spindles for crop clearance. One thing I can tell you about that tractor in your picture its the industrial version of a 4000. Weve had a 4000 FOrd at work for the last 10 to 12 years.
