Correct me if I am wrong, but that doesn't look like an 8N, more like a 9N or 2N.

8N came out in 1947 as a 1948 model year.
And yes that is not a picture of a 8N.

What a artistically generalized mess!
It claims to be a "Red Belly" 8N, but it has the smooth rear hubs and 4 spoke steering wheel of an early 9N, the rear wheel bolt pattern is 9N-2N (already
mentioned) the hidden mounting bolt doglegs of a 9n or early 2N, the hood has no air intake grille nor "Ford" script like an 8N would have, there are no running
boards and theres not even any gear lube leaking past the axle seals and running down the inside of the rear tires like a REAL 8N would have!
True the "8N" was named that because it came out OFFICIALLY in 1948, but they were available in mid-1947 as a 1948 model, so the "1947-1952" is kinda correct, but
Ford obviously given its designation, never referred to any 8N as a 1947 model tractor

I am the Ford INCorrect police. To show you how
much of a Ford guy I am I never knew the 2, 8 and 9
designations were associated with production model
years. I always wondered why they chose the
numbering out of sequential order 9N 1939, 2N 1942,
8N 1948; now it is clear. Guess I should spend more
time with my semi-neighbor Ultradog.
