Growing up in central MN all you saw around there was AC, IH, JD and Case. Probably in that order. The dealer in Aitkin sold both AC and Ford though you hardly ever saw a Ford around till the Blue ones started coming out. Rarely saw a MM or Ollie either. The reason the little Fords are still so popular is because of the 3 point hitch. It's a modern feature on an antique tractor. A lot of folks think because a 9N has 3 point it must be modern in other ways and so are disapointed to find it doesn't have all the bells and whistles. Compare it to an Allis C or Farmall H or JD B and it will do things that they wont. Better tractors? No. Worse tractors? No. But any N with a cheap attachment will do the simple task in the picture straight off the factory floor. Another advantage they have is you can still buy NEW implements for them. Plows, scoops, discs, boom poles, cultivators, mowers, brush hogs, fertilizer spreaders, PHDs, etc. Hook one up and go. Perfect for the weekend warrior, hobby farmer or... Not many companies building pull behind plows and discs for a WD, H, B, 66 or DC and the used stuff still out there has already been snatched up by collectors, scrapped or is plumb worn out. In defense of the WDs though, if a guy just wanted an old tractor to skid a few logs, haul firewood on a trailer or cobble some kind of a snow plow onto or even pull a trail behind brush mower with, pound for pound and dollar for dollar a WD would do a lot work for him for bottom dollar price.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
