Beautiful and well done! Ford 9N. Great to see it and amazing to me as it brings back special memories. I did the same to a 9N while in high school and first years at a county vocational school in the 1970's. My father gave it to me as a project. I took every last nut and bolt out of it, and I mean everything... trans, diff, brakes, dist, hyd. 3 point hitch pump, etc.. Re-sleeved the cylinders, inserted valve guides, new engine parts, etc. About the only thing I didn't do was machine the head or grind the crank. My father was a dealer and figured it was the best experience for me and he was right on. I even painted it the same color as your sons but a purist knows they originally were all grey. Encouraging young kids into these projects should be required and some sort of basic trade skill would be the best thing for the future of this country. Thank you for showing it and congratulations
