An 841 is a way better tractor.Its not even a comparison.Bad part on that deal is that its an ancient diesel which smokes some probably.Some people dont mind it some do.The 841 is a 3 bottom plow tractor,the other one is a 2 bottom plow tractor.For 27 acres it will take the 841 about half the time to plow it as the N.The N can maybe get 5 acres a day or a little more depending on when you start and stop.The 841 will do 10 or more easy.So for the 841 about 3 days or less to plow 27 acres,nearly 6 for the N series.841 will bush hog a lot safer than N series,and you can mow with as big of a mowing machine you can find,7 ft,8ft bar.841 will play with a 8 ft 3 point double disc.An N series will pull an 8ft double disc a gear slower and not as deep.You could disc your whole 27 acres once in a good long day,and could even pull a 10 ft disc,maybe 12 ft pull type disc because you can hook up hydraulics to the 841 easier.An 841 is just about twice the tractor as the N series.A N series tractor will do the job and take care of the 27 acres with no problem,but the 841 will do it easier and faster,and maybe last longer if its in good shape when you get it.Ns are tough,but they are old technology compared to an 841.You might also look around for a Massey Fergusen,and there are others,Oliver,Allis Chalmers,International,John Deere,that make comparable tractors to the 841.If you can get a good deal on any of them with a 3 point hitch its way better than the ones that dont have it.About all of the late 50s early 60s had a chance of having power steering,but a Ford like that turns fairly easy compared to an N series.Also if you can find a TO 20 or 30 Fergusen they are good too.I kind of like them a little better than an N series because they have an overhead valve Continental motor,and besides that are nearly the same tractor.The TO 20,30 Fergusen may have a little more horsepower,but from the motor back I cant tell what the difference is,if any.TO 20,30 Fergusens that I ever saw had a 4 speed transmission.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
