Frequently Asked Questions
What cylinder head fits a Ford 8N, 9N or 2N tractor?
Broken Tractor carries an Engine Cylinder Head for Ford 8N, 9N and 2N tractors under SKU 8N6050. It is a direct replacement head for the flathead four-cylinder Ford engine used in the N-Series tractors. Compare the part number on your old head with SKU 8N6050 before ordering.
Does the Fordson Dexta cylinder head come with valves?
Yes, the Fordson Dexta and Super Dexta cylinder head, SKU E2046T9, comes with the valves pre-installed. It is matched to the 3.152 Perkins diesel engine used in those tractors. The 8N, 9N and 2N head is not listed with valves, so check its product details or confirm with our parts team if you need valves included.
Will the same cylinder head fit a Fordson Dexta and a Super Dexta?
Yes, the cylinder head with valves, SKU E2046T9, fits both the Fordson Dexta and the Super Dexta. It is built for the 3.152 Perkins diesel engine, so confirm your tractor still has that engine before ordering. If the engine has been swapped or you are unsure, our parts team can help you check fitment.
When should I replace the cylinder head on an early Ford tractor?
A replacement cylinder head makes sense when the original head is cracked, when a head gasket failure has damaged it, or when you are doing a full engine rebuild. Broken Tractor offers heads for the Ford 8N, 9N and 2N flathead four-cylinder engine and for the Fordson Dexta and Super Dexta 3.152 Perkins diesel. A new head can save time compared with repairing a badly damaged original.
How do I make sure I order the right cylinder head for my early Ford tractor?
Start with your tractor model and engine. Choose SKU 8N6050 for the 8N, 9N and 2N flathead four-cylinder, or SKU E2046T9 for the Dexta and Super Dexta with the 3.152 Perkins engine. If your tractor has had engine changes over the years, match the part number from your old head or call (800) 909-7060 to confirm fitment with our parts team.
