Restoration project, maybe?

It looks like an International 2540 tractor to me Rufus but I am guessing. I have a Ford 8N. Keeping the 8N running is enough restoration for me.

One tractor at a time is generally enough for most - my little F-Cub is clearly enough for me.

I considered using this as a Whatzit but then I realized Rufus would get it immediately.

1) The sun seldom shines in Kentucky.
2) It was in the tractors dashboard when I took the photo on Saturday, ‎July ‎17, ‎2021.
3) Does this image remove all doubt?

Nope, not the same meter. In this picture PTO is in the top half of the meter.
and the hours are reading 25556

In the picture of the meter by its self PTO is in the bottom half of the meter....
and the hours are reading 18086

Would you believe it is in the dashboard of this '62 IH 504?

Wayne are all these pictures of Derelict tractors on your property ?

Do you have a picture of your 8N that you can post. Those 8Ns are real popular and you can still get parts to rebuild the engines.

Yes, it's a Cootie and possibly a repeat?

Made it race against time.
