I have a 1956 851 and it has plenty of poop with the larger OHV 4 banger. The early 9N & 2N are lighter duty but the later 8N isn't too bad. The later NAA & 600 series were a definite improvement.
My Pop had a 1956 Fordson Major that I learned on and it was a good machine. He traded it for a Ford 5000 and never looked back.

The Sherman transmission was a good Impovement on the older tractors. The Funk conversions give the little tractor more power but it doesn't make it a larger heavier duty machine. The transmission and tire size still limit the design.
