Description
If you're restoring a classic Ford N-series tractor, you know the small details matter just as much as the big ones. That patent data plate on your fender isn't just for show—it's a piece of history that helps identify your tractor's year and model. But those original mounting screws have a habit of walking away over the decades, and without the right hardware, your plate ends up rattling around or falling off completely.
What You're Getting
- Complete set of four screws designed specifically for Ford N-series patent plates
- Proper thread pitch and length to mount securely without over-tightening
- Corrosion-resistant finish that holds up to weather and washing
- Direct replacement for original Ford hardware—no modifications needed
Built for Classic Ford Tractors
These screws are made for the Ford 9N, 2N, and 8N tractors built from 1939 through 1952. Whether you're working on a 1941 9N that's been in the family for generations or a '52 8N you picked up at an estate sale, these are the right screws to keep that identification plate where it belongs. These tractors are still out there doing real work on small farms and homesteads all over the country.
Made to Last
Patent plates spend their lives exposed to the elements, so the mounting hardware needs to handle everything from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles. These screws are built to stay tight and resist rust, keeping your plate secure through years of field work and weather.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward—just thread them through the plate and into the mounting holes on your fender. If the original holes are worn or stripped, you might need to chase the threads with a tap to get a good fit. A little anti-seize compound on the threads helps prevent future corrosion if you're in an area with harsh winters.
