1947 Ford 2N teardown

[slim357]

well, I purchased this 1947 ford 2N for 600$ and have been tearing it apart one piece at a time when I have time and today I just got the oil pan off and it looks like this tractor hasn't had a thing done to it since 1947.

Probably not worth your effort.
Looks quite bad!

Seen worse as when a block is cracked or imploded...

Is there enough to bore oversize... sometimes the bearings can be saved...

Seen much worse than that brought back to life, in fact my SIL and I just brought back a Ford 640 we got for $200 that looked not much different. Give it a good cleaning, put in new sleeves, crankshaft turned and valves reground/seated it will run again. These old Fords are a lot like Briggs engines, if ya cannot make one run it is time to turn in your man card.

I am hoping it has sleeves.

Appears it does have sleeves according to the list of rebuild kits listed on the website yesterdays tractors dot com.

I think you will find more information on your tractor there than you will here.

$600 ..... plus parts?
What is a repaired 1947 Ford 2N worth?
I consider my 1951 8N, in excellent overall condition, with completely rebuilt engine, and a Sherman transmission, to be worth maybe $2000+ ?

I've got double that in the Jubilee... but it's like a new tractor... fully restored but, alas, no Sherman ;-(
