Hi New to site and just Became a Ford owner. I am wondering if you can help me identify the serial number for this tractor. it is very hard to read but I think it is 9N LI002331. Where I am at a loss is I can find no posts with a serial number with the LI in it any help is appreciated
Thank You Cam
 
Not sure on the L but the I is probably a 1. 9N say it is either a 9N which will have I-beam radius rods or a 2N which will have tube type radius rods
 
It would be extremely helpful if you could find an archived version of "John Smith's Old Ford Tractors", which was an encyclopedia of the the Ford 'N's. That site was closed recently and I can't figure out if there's an accessible copy on some other site.
 
1944 Serial number 9N126575 - 9N170017

Part way through the '44 production year the front axle radius rods were changed to an oval tube design that was lighter but just as strong as the old I-beam style radius rods. With just small variations in length, this design would be used on Ford tractors for the next 20+ years. The dealer installed lighting kits were changed to include sealed beam Ford headlights, replacing the larger C.M. Hall headlights which had been in use since '39. At serial 167488 the front axle/radiator support was again updated to a stamped steel design that would be used on into the 8N production. A longer oil line was added to route the return oil from the oil filter through the governor for added lubrication.
