1943 Ford 2N that I repainted last summer. Still haven't done the wheels. And here it is dragging logs around from the 30+/- trees we took down during an early summer project.
If I were to buy new I would look hard at the Manihandra line. Looks like a lot of tractor for the $$ and heard good things about themtoo.
Thanks. I stripped the sheet metal down to bare metal. The frame/drivetrain I just went over with a wire wheel and a power washer. I had visions of getting the wheels done this year but it's getting late. We'll see. The N's are tough little tractors. Not very powerful (18hp) but they run forever. This is what it looked like when I brought it home.
1972 MF 165D 1944 Farmall A, the casting code on the engine block is dated one month before I was born.
Yea the weight and gearing on the N allow it to do the work of a larger tractor. My tractorhas similar horsepower but cause it only wweighs about 2000 lbs ball lasted it looses traction before power.
My tractor is a one wheeler named True Temper. I never get flats and I haven't had to change the oil in 4 years now.
