Ford New Holland 2N Tractor Parts
The Ford New Holland 2N, manufactured from 1942 to 1947, was a workhorse on American farms. Powered by a reliable 28 HP gasoline engine, its straightforward design and ease of maintenance made it a favorite among farmers. Its usable PTO horsepower made it suitable for a variety of implements, solidifying its reputation as an affordable and dependable tractor.
The Ford-Ferguson 2N was a successor to the Ford 9N and 8N, built after Ford's split from Ferguson. Production ran from 1942 to 1947. The 2N featured a Continental gas engine, producing around 28 horsepower with a displacement of 119.7 cubic inches. It used a manual transmission offering 4 forward speeds and 1 reverse. The PTO delivered approximately 23 horsepower at 540 RPM. The tractor's hydraulic system provided about 5 GPM of flow and was configured for a Category I 3-point hitch system. Farmers used the 2N for various tasks, including row crop work, light tillage, hay baling (with auxiliary power), and powering livestock equipment. The 2N was distinguished by its simplicity and affordability, making it accessible to many farmers. The biggest difference from the 9N came in 1942, when wartime restrictions forced ford to remove rubber from the tires and use steel wheels. Because of this, the Ford 2N tractors are sought after.
