Ford N9 Tractor

[Colorado Cowboy]

Neighbor just sold his house and is moving. He gave me his N9 and several attachments. Doesn't seem to run well as it overheats. Guess I got a new project. I'm going to start with the radiator and water pump. One of the attachments is a brush hog, should get a lot of use out of it.

Sounds like a fun project!!!

Does it have a thermostat? That's the first place I look when things are overheating. Jut not sure if that thing has one.

Don't know, havn't had a chance to look it over as He just towed it here.

Wow, how cool is that. Will it over heat with the radiator cap off? May want to just install a new thermostat and see how she runs.

Radiator would be the first place I would check. It could be clogged with rust. The little tubes inside are pretty small and it doesn't take much to clog them if it was not maintained properly. Flush and drain it and see what comes out. If you have any rust come out just take it to your local radiator shop and have them rod it out.
