User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars N tractor book
This book covers the 9N, 2N and 8N tractors. The Jubilee is hardly mentioned; but for 128 pages it gives you a little insight into each model. It also covers experimental and tractors made for show.

Good book for a 128 pages. It could have been 3 times bigger with more pictures.

5 Stars tractor review
The price was very reasonable and the book was delivered really quickly, excellent service.

3 Stars A good overview
A good overview of the Ford N series but did not have the detail I was looking for.

5 Stars correction/amendment to previous review
I previously stated that the pictures used in this edition were previously published. This statement is in error. The confusion arose because many tractors included have been seen in other works. The author assures me that these pictures are all new issues.

4 Stars A must-have book for the Ford tractor collector/restorer
Although there may be a few minor details subject to scrutiny, this work meets an important need. Replete with color and B/W photos, the authors point out the differences between the various Ford N-models, and attempt to illustrate the important details to be considered when restoring these tractors. Paint details, variations in models and years, options, and anomalies are described in detail. As with many Motorbooks International publications, there is a tendancy to use oft-published photos, but this is not a major concern. A section on the popular Sherman auxiliary transmissions includes a table of various gear ratios and speed ranges. Original and aftermarket reproduction aprts are compared and the appendix includes a pretty thorough list of suppliers. While this book is not the final authority on the subject, it is by far the best thing yet to come out on this topic. Highly recommended.
