Better picture of the air cleaner assembly?

On phone and it's hard to see on picture

Yes, the air cleaner will confirm if its that year. To find a Boche FU4 mag would be nice as well! Nice find.

Early 40's year.

Year 30's were waterwashers (bowl under the tank which holds water basically)

All looks the same as my '38 apart from gearbox selector housing which is from a newer tractor with angled oil filler. Nice straight looking tractor, i wonder what gearbox it has? Look for 4.3 or 7.7 or similar on face of clutch housing flange just above halfway up. Probably always been on steel wheels and low top gear? £1500 plus a little if you can get it running?

Yes, yellow paint, crowfoot wing supports, bolted hand hole in air filter, high comp head ( you can just make out the recess around the plug holes). First oil bath air cleaner which came in in 1937, with the yellow paint, was I believe a Kingston product, can be identified by the in an out elbows being bolted on. The Ford manufactured replacement had them cast in in with the housing. You may have a choice of correct magneto fit, Boche FU4B , or Lucas GJ4, the former is reliable, the latter less so, though modern rebuilds seem to be ok. Better materials I expect. Correct spark plugs are Champion C5, Though Lodge and KLG are fine. The ones to avoid are the ones with blue insulation with "Pacy" written on! They seem to last long enough to ensure you a long walk back to the farm! I know, bought some,(three and six pence each, where the others were five shillings) fitted them, got to our most distant field, hitched up to the roller, tractor now on three cyls, then two, then none!
We only ever had a Model "N", cant remember the date we moved out of the farm, early sixties I think. Grand Father had one the same as yours, and a green wide wing, on the other half of the farm.
Here is my 1943 version, date may not be exact, it has a ford recon engine fitted, so no number.
