In Reply to: Antique Ford 600 Jubilee 1961 posted by Susan Alarie on Saturday, April 30, 2005:
I have done a little more research on Ford models. The 9N was built from 1939 until 1942, when the 2N was introduced. Very few were built during the war years and the 8N was introduced in late 1947 as a 1948 model. In 1953, the Golden Jubileee (NAA) was introduced and it was built through 1955, when the 600 and 800 series of tractors were introduced. As I remember, there were Workmaster and Powermasted models. According to my information, the Jubilee was the first model with an overhead valve engine. As I remember, the distributor on the 9N was on the very front of the engine; not sure just how it worked. According to my information, the 8N engine, drive train and axles were red and the hood, fenders and wheel rims were a "warm" grey. Previously, the entire tractor had been grey. The 9N had the left brake pedal and clutch on the left side of the tractor; in the 2N both brakes were on the right. The 2N had a starter lockout. The 8N was the first with a 4 speed transmission. As a Farmall and John Deere man, this is all I know about Fords.
