HCH actually you may be right, Im about blind now days and cant tell from the picture. Im pretty familiar with the Fords N'sand Fergeson tractors. The most noticeable difference between the 8N and its predecessors was its appearance, and the inclusion of a 4 speed tranmission, rather than the traditional 3 speed in the 2N and 9N.Another noticeable change was the switch to eight lugs on the back wheels instead of six as well as improved brakes. Some (not all)9N's were painted gey and red as well as the 8N and the Jubilee. Definately some cool old tractors.
