[AT] Ford 9N Tractor Running Boards

[George Willer]

Both my 9Ns have running boards that appear to be blacksmith made from deck
plate.  They have a loop that  hooks over the original foot peg.

My 8N left several years ago, so I can't compare directly... but I see no
reason installation of 8N running boards would require anything more than
possibly sawing the peg off (or using the ball socket from the 8N).
