Hello All!

Just picked up this 129 for $400. I think I got a pretty good deal, it even has a 48" deck. I am so excited to have this piece of history...My grandpa had a ford n series tractor and I can only think I am carrying the torch but at a much smaller scale! haha

It just needs a good cleaning and we will be ready to rock.

Does anyone have any leads to an aftermarket dirt plow for this? Thanks in advance

Did you say "N" series?
9N here. The first of the N series

Should not be hard to find a blade for it.
They were available as a 42" and a 54"
Ignore the mount in the upper right hand corner.
Youn will need the sub-frame in the lower left area, part #14

9N. Built in 1939 until '41
2N built in 1942 until 1947
The famous 8N built 1948 until 1955(?)
My previous picture is 9N
This one is a 2N.
I worked on both these, this summer.

WELCOME! Good looking 129! I bet those R4 tires ride rough... I assume by "dirt plow" you mean a turning plow for use in a garden, as opposed to a snow blade? Probably the best place to find one would be to place an add in the classified section here.

In that case, you will also need an IH rear lift and a sleeve hitch setup
How deep are your pockets!!

Note: The 9N came out in 1939, the 2N came out in 1942, and the 8N came out in 1948. The numbers were the last digit of the year.

Yup. Like my reply in Post #9

Part #7, in the first picture (drawbar) should already be on your Cub.
If not, that's what you need to pull a cart.

GREETINGS - is there a way to find just #12 ? Mine took a hard hit & put a wicked dent in it causing it to roll to one side. Left half of blade & edge is trimmed halfway through left most hole. PO used and used it after the hit.
