you can look at the engine's serial number to determine the year of production

We used to put an 8 volt battery in our grain trucks so they’d start better. Didn’t seem to hurt anything.

My 1952 8N has a 12 volt generator on it same style as original one with 12 volt battery so someone converted it...

It has to be 50 and back for the year because it has a front mounted distributer

Sweet! I’m in love. I have an 8N . Serial # seems to indicate a ‘51. But it has front mounted distributor. Has embossed “Ford” on hood but has smooth fenders with no embossing. Serial #8N42319(?) seems I’m missing a digit. Anyone have any ideas?

I think 1950 might have been a transition year for the distributor and generator location. My 1950 8N had a side-mount distributor on the right side and the generator was on the left side of the motor. I converted mine to 12V and changed the ignition to electronic.

@@andyallen7509 If you have a front mounted distributor, you likely have a early 1950, or earlier, model. Sometime in 1950, the distributors changed to side-mount. Your serial number would be correct for a 1948 model. The serial numbers were 37908 to 141369 for 1948. The serial number range for 1951 was 363593 to 442034; however, with a front-mount distributor, you likely have a 1948 model.

@@Mike--K Thats what has puzzled me. The distributor location would indicate an earlier year. But the serial number , though very difficult to read, I believe to be accurately interpreted. The serial number also seems to include a horizontal diamond which I understand indicates something about cylinder sleeves (or lack there of). I too am 12v with electronic ignition. What an awesome alteration that is! Thank you for your reply. Any further comments or suggestions are very much appreciated. I’m new to the tractor/8N world. Need all the input I can get!

@@andyallen7509 You definitely have a mystery! Ford used stars and diamonds to identify the beginning and end of the serial number. The stars were used on the 8N until sometime in 1951 when Ford changed to diamonds. That might be when they changed from steel to cast iron sleeves. From what I've been able to find, the 1951 serial number sequence ran from 8N343593 to 8N442034.
