[Ford-ferguson] Implements that work with a 9N

[Mike Sloane]

Generally speaking, any implement that will work with an 8N will work on 
a 9N. (The 2N and 9N are essentially the same tractor.) The main 
functional differences between the 9N/2N and 8N is that the 8N has a 4 
speed transmission, lockout for the draft control, foot boards, and both 
brake pedals are on the right side.

As far as which implements you can use on your tractor, the answer is 
you can use any Category I three point implement design to be mounted on 
a 20 hp tractor. That would include such things as a 5' brush cutter, 2 
bottom plow, various planters, cultivators, disk harrows, 6' scraper 
blade, etc. If you want to run either a rough or finish mower, I 
strongly suggest that you also install an overrunning clutch on the PTO 
shaft, or the is the danger of the mower driving the tractor forward by 
its own inertia.

One caution: very early 9N tractors came equipped with an undersized (1 
1/8") pto shaft, and you either need to change the shaft (not a big 
deal) to the larger 1 3/8" size or attach an adapter (cheaper and 
quicker, but not always satisfactory. You can also get overrunning 
clutches for the PTO that accomplish the same function, but they are not 
all that easy to find.
