BN parts and implements are hard to come by.

I have a good memory and but is short sometimes and I am trying to recall what Guy Fay wrote in his new book. I carry that book with me everyhere and study it. But my wife has it in her car right now.

Yes, BN's are somewhat more rare than A's and B's.

They were considered a specialty type of tractor for farmers with specific needs not needing two row cultivation capability of the B and narrower rows than a B.

You can always swap over and stick a B rear end on the BN to use more implements from B's. But why? Just get a B.

You have more variability to slide the axles in and out on a BN.

The width of the BN is 47 3/8"between the two faces of pads for the drawbar. Minimum tread width is 56" and maximum tread width is 84".

Whereas the B had a width of 55 3/8 between the faces of the drawbar pads and minumum tread width of 64" to maximum tread width of 92"

Now for the A: Offset engine for visibility.

Dimension between the faces of pads for the drawbar is 29 3/8"

Minimum tire width is 40" and maximum tire width is 68".

There is a Farmall A in New Hampshire that is advertised in the classifieds of this site. I have seen it, and it is really beautiful and runs really good.

Consider it as a nice tractor to get.
