Hi

[sgrmtndrone]

I been a member since 7/06 here & TBN had been a great help with a Izeki TL 1900 I had it is has since gone away but I have recently gotten a 1939 N (3rd owner) and have been checking out the forum . Ya all are great with the advice and look forward to following the treads here now .

are you sure she's a 39? 9n?

she's got oval radius rods.. those are a post 1944 option... meaning 2N

she also has the rivited rear hubs.. those are a later option.. but were offered as upgrades or repalcements for he cast solid hubs that broke out due to voids.. so that one is less of a determining factor.

what do date codes on various parts say.. like axle trumpes?

engine sn? ( engines can be swapped.. might have a 39 engine in a 44-46 chassis.

where are the grease fittings on her front spindles? fore or aft?

I also see a thumb interlink start switch.. not an option on the very early units ( nor would steel sheet tin be either ).. also no trans dipstick in the tranny cover.

post back.

Sorry been busy and just got back in here . I think you may be right about different parts/years . I'll check it all out lol .

 

[Soundguy]

post back what ya find. if you have questions.. take pics and post them..

Grease fitting are aft on the spindles , the only # I can make out on the block is above the starter and is 1256

 

[Soundguy]

earliest units had the grease fittings forward.

the 1256.. is it below the head on a 1x4 flattened boss?

 

[sgrmtndrone]

I seen those #'s but can not make them out I may see about getting the wife to check them as my eye's are not what they use to be .
