Re: 1949 Ford Tractor
Nice 8N. As mentioned above it looks like it is in pretty good original condition. Although some like the patina, I could just picture it with fresh new paint in the original colors. A friend of mine restores Tractors. They sure look beautiful when completed. I also attend Antique Farm Tractor Pulls now and then and besides the pulls, it is an automatic Tractor Show as well. They usually park them together, Fords with Fords, John Deere with John Deere, etc.
I had a '46 Ford 2N years ago. One style before the 8N. The 9's were first, then the 2's, then the 8's.
I now have a John Deere (a '59 Model 435).
