I think that's a later model, Joe. The 8N had vertical bars on the grill. Here's a little Christmas Eve whimsey for you. Us Comet guys aren't the only ones that like to tweak our Ford rides. Santa could really pull his sleigh with one of these. :lol:

I think it is a Massey Ferguson T20. I had a 9N Ford back from the late 90's to 2006 and my wife's grandfather restored old tractors for a living till he passed. Mostly 2N, 8N, and 9n's. But had some Massey Ferguson and Ford Jubilee's.

for the data checkers:

.. it's an @ 1950 Harry Ferguson TO-20. After Harry Ferguson was dissed by Henry Ford on the use of Fergusons' 3 Point Hitch innovation, Ferguson responded with the exact same tractor as Fords' 8N but with a superior OHV Continental 4 cyl. engine. 8N and TO20' tractors actually match drive train, only the engine differs...

Thanks for the correction. I have seen a few of those over the years, but I guess my memory wasn't spot on for those Ferguson's although I would say I was in the ballpark. :P :oops:

Thanks for the correction, PB. I owned a 9N when I had my cabin in the woods, didn't look familiar.
Great one-row tank but had my eyes set on Papaw's two-row AC D-10. He promised it to me 'cause I kept it maintained but he slipped into dementia, forgot and sold it to a neighbor he barely knew for pocket change.
