I asked him if you had to remove the whole front end because the snout of the crankshaft goes right thru the front of the frame.
He said he rebuilt his 47 and he picked it up and strait out, but I didn't get a chance to look at his and compare it to the 50 I have.
So it may be a little different then the one he sold me.

Kurt,
The 8N debuted in July '47 and ran through '52, then they came out with the Golden Jubilee in '53 which had live hydraulics and an overhead valve engine. Lots of people are confused by the numbering, thinking that the 9N is newer but it was a '39 through '46. In '42 they had a run of 2N's but the serial numbers all started "9N...." so we see tractors in this series either 9N or 8N. The '47 that the guy kept should be virtually identical to your '50.
