First manufactured in 1917, Ford tractors, initially sold under the Fordson name, a contraction of Henry Ford & Son, revolutionized the agricultural landscape. Thanks to mass production, these affordable and reliable machines became the first choice for small farmers looking to replace draft animals. While manufacture was exclusive to Great Britain by the 1930s, Ford tractors made a triumphant return to the United States in 1939 with the iconic 9N model, incorporating the hitch system invented by Irish engineer and inventor Harry Ferguson.
In this comprehensive addition to Motorbooks' Complete Book Series, tractor historian Robert Pripps delves deep into the history of Ford tractors, encompassing the earliest Fordsons, the Ford-Fergusons, the Ford N Series, and the remarkable Ford "World" tractors produced until the 1970s. Packed with over 200 stunning color photographs and period advertising, the book offers a wealth of information on the numerous options, accessories, implements, and variations that emerged from Dearborn, Sherman Bros., and the renowned Funk Bros. hot rod conversions.
The Complete Book of Ford Tractors is a treasure trove of knowledge for tractor enthusiasts, drawing from Pripps' bestselling titles, The Big Book of Ford Tractors and The Illustrated Ford and Fordson Tractor Buyers Guide. It is supplemented with new text, data-packed specification boxes, and a largely new selection of incredible color photography and period advertising. This is the only book that provides comprehensive coverage of the diverse range of collectible Ford tractors, making it a must-have volume for every tractor enthusiast's library.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or a newcomer to the world of tractors, The Complete Book of Ford Tractors is an indispensable resource that will captivate your interest and inspire your passion for these iconic machines.
