what year 8n?

john w crews	I have a ford 8n. I know the serial number is stamped on block to figure out year. problem is i can't make it out. used degreaser wire brush tried to trace but nothing. seems like i read that in 1947 ford went to a 8 lug rear axle instead of 6 lugs. is this right? also my 8n has front mont dist. and the key is not hid under leftside of "hood". my key switch is on left in plain sight so that rules out it being a 1950-52 model right? Any other way to figure out what year?
Jim Loveridge	Google 'smiths old ford tractors' Go to the search results and click on 'history' I think it is. There is great info with picturs for examples.
Bob G	Like Jim says check out the smiths site, but if you have a four speed trans and a frontmount distributor you have a 48 to 50 8N. They switched to side mount mid 50.
