Same engine yes but the N14 has an electronic governor. I don't know where you got the idea that it had a Deere engine. There was NOT an option for a Deere engine in either tractor. Another thing, Deere could not make an engine that good even if they tried.
what were the transmission options in the 8970's? Is a 24 speed a powershift?
