January’s featured photo was submitted by Keith Fink. “This is our 1942 Ford 9N which belongs to our 11-year old son, Hank (pictured). The whole family helped to fix up and paint the tractor. This is one of three ‘old tractors’ on our dairy farm, but none of them have achieved collector status yet as they are all daily workers.” Click here to see the other winning tractor photos that were selected to appear in our 2018 catalog.
Confused on Parts for Ford 2110 & 2120’s?
Here is a breakdown of all the model variations;
There were 3 different ones of each built, here are the variations.
2110 4 cylinder made from 1963-1964, this is a row crop with 134 C.I. gas / 144 C.I. diesel variation of the 2000 4 cylinder series, it has a 4 speed transmission, no PTO, no hydraulics. (Most of the parts for the 700 series fits)
2110 3 cylinder made from 1965 to 1974, this is a LCG tractor (low ground clearance) used for mowing etc. it used a 158 C.I. or 175 C.I. gas / diesel (most of the parts for a 2003 3 cylinder series fit, except rims/ & front axle parts)
2110 4 cylinder 38 HP diesel (138 C.I.) built by Shibaura in Japan from 1983 thru 1986 (this is a stand alone compact tractor that unless we have the part we will need to try to special order parts for)

Ford Tractor is Heading Home
Gene Hopkins of Cottondale, Alabama is the winner of Steiner Tractor Parts, Inc. 40 year anniversary tractor sweepstakes. Gene’s name was drawn from 18,960 entries to win a restored Ford 8N.
Gene took a few days off from his job working for the city to drive up and get his new tractor. Gene, his wife Patti and long time friend Curtis made the trip to Steiner’s over the weekend and arrived at 8:00 am Monday right after we opened for the day. After about an hour of chit chat, a small tour, and loading the tractor Gene and his group headed south trying to miss the next snow storm heading thru Michigan. I received an update from Gene about 20 miles north of Toledo when they came to a standstill on the expressway. Weather permitting they should arrive back in Alabama late Tuesday evening.
Gene said the 8N “will be used for parades and enjoyment, she will not be a work tractor.” His children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews are just as excited as Gene to get this tractor home. He said they have been coming up with all kinds of ideas of where to take the tractor.
Congratulations Gene!
Gene sent these photos to let us know they made it home safely and that the family was enjoying their new ride!
Olivers and Some Little Fords
