Ford 2N
The Ford 2N was a variation on the 9N introduced due to World War II. By designating a new model, Ford was able to bypass wartime restrictions on price. The 2N has some component changes due to wartime shortages. The battery and alternator were eliminated, and replaced with a magneto and hand-crank start. Also, steel wheels became standard equipment.
