Both are good tractors! The N is significantly handier and maneuverable than the SC, and as stated neither will have LPTO. The models that people mentioned are excellent also, but will cost you a tad more in most cases. It sounds to me like those are the two that you have found that fit your budget and for the chores you mentioned I would go with the N; in most instances much easier to work on, parts easier to find, and 3 pt hitch (unless it"s a late SC with Eagle Hitch this is a BIG advantage. Other than holding back heavier loads on hills, or getting into heavier things like baling with a wagon attached, the N will do most things the SC will and do them a little handier (good chance the SC has a hand clutch too). As far as tilling, an N with properly adjusted 1 or 2 bottom 3pt plow will plow like crazy all day, add in a 3pt disc and 3pt drag and you"re in business! With an Over Running Clutch for saftey, the LPTO issue is ALMOST moot when hogging, and a good N will run a 5" hog all day no problem. My Father does most of the true work with out tractors (I do more pullin" and playin") he has the choice of JD B,A,70,and 420...IH Super C, Super H, and Super M, Ford 2N and 8N...and ( times out of 10 you"ll find him doin" his work on the 2N, and it"s always his choice on plow day. Bottom line is that alot of guys never give Ns a chance simply because they have never had the opportunity to use one...they are one good tractor! Pete

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
