I think you're mixing apples and oranges a bit. Let's back up and start from the beginning.

First, what does your tractor look like?

Compare to the photos below (borrowed from John Smith's site):

Here is Tyler's very nicely restored 9N. A 2N will look very similar.

Very often a 9N or 2N will be painted red and gray like an 8N. Compare the rear wheels to quickly tell a 9N/2N from an 8N when the paint looks the same.

Here is an 8N:

Now if your tractor looks like the top photo, then your s/n would indeed be a 1940. But if your tractor looks like the second photo, your s/n would be a 1948. The serial number sequence started over when the model changed from 2N to 8N.

The s/n sequence started over again in 1953 when the NAA/Golden Jubilee replaced the 8N. If your serial number starts with NAA then your tractor should look something like this:

If it does, then your serial number says it is a 1953.

I hope this helps.
