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.

The 8N was built from July 1947 thru 1952. In 1953, Ford debuted the overhead valve engine and the NAA (Golden Jubilee).

Sounds like you've got a basket case blade there and it is sprung pretty bad!
Be a tough find just for that piece I'm afraid.
Would take a bunch of torch work and a stout vise to salvage that.
It could be done but what about the damage to the blade itself?

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

of course someone removed it-its not on here!

This is the part right? https://www.ihccw.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=14812&search=drawbar

You can see where the paint is missing.
I dont have the name of the person handy but someone on here sold/sells receiver hitches that bolt on to the rear end cover. More costly that a piece of bent metal but I love mine.

Um....
There is a thread section for all this ford talk folks!

I will keep an eye out and do some searches. If you ever find the thread, please send it my way

That’s the drawbar you need to hitch a trailer, etc. You can probably get a used one for $20 bucks or so at a garden tractor show or from a used parts dealer.

I searched my computer files and my Cub LooseLeaf and i cannot believe i dont have a receipt or at least hand written info. I went online and im 90% sure this is the guy.
He is/was a contributor to this forum or another Cub forum.

Im sure you can pick up the simple 90 degree bent part that came with the Cub for less $ but i found this reciever hitch great as ot accepts any standard 2" things that a trailer hitch on a car can handle. pulling trailers, car carriers and my little adapter for handling some weight for snow plowing.

Blade itself looks fine but I keep looking & finding. From center to left its ground down though half of left hole. Bout a 1/4 missing overall. Plan is cut out and replace. Bending back just isn't workable. Got gas & pressure, just easier to replace. And good practice for gluing metal together

Maybe get a wider piece to use as an edge and drill new holes higher to mount it.
After you figure out your bent up Main Frame (#703-0575) issue.

I was thinking of a 2x2 aluminum - think I have a crap piece - to weld against to fill in the dragged edge. Any idea where i might locate a main frame ? Main plan is to cut & replace vertical sides & send it.

well Im doing a spring tune up today, if I manage to whip out the pressure washer I will take more pictures.

be mindful with the pressure washer, to avoid getting water where it shouldn’t be and to avoid inadvertent damage/paint removal.

will do, the tune up went great! Put that tractor to use all day....then on the last startup it was dead...back to the drawing board. I think I may need a new S/G..it seems to be the original one. I was also trying to avoid taking the carb apart but it seems like there is some clogging going on.

 

[KrazicubKraker]

So a low level pressure washer a bottle of soap & lots of water to rinse. Been thinking of installing a bath station for the cubs - they need a bath badly. Royal Purple still a good cleaner ?

For the Starter/Generator,; Get it running then see if you are charging the battery.
If the Gas line is original, it may have obstructions in it. Try running a coat hanger thru it as a Snake or you may want to replace it. Maybe the gas tank is loaded with crapola. I would think you new glass bowl would indicate garbage in the fuel

definitely not charging.The needle will flick to the first hashmark on the right side (C SIDE) and go back to 0. It never even sniffs the C mark. I tested full and half throttle.

 

[mgonitzke]

Temporarily ground the F terminal on the starter/generator with the engine running full throttle. This should peg the ammeter to the charge side, and you should have 14.5V or more across the battery terminals. If that doesn't happen, the field coils are faulty and need to be replaced. If that does cause full output, you have a wiring, ground, or voltage regulator issue.
