The Complete Book of Classic Ford Tractors : Every Model 1917-1996
First manufactured in 1917, Ford tractors (initially sold under the Fordson name, a contraction of Henry Ford & Son) were, thanks to mass production, the first affordable and reliable machines that allowed small farmers to replace draft animals. Though manufacture was exclusive to Great Britain by the 1930s, Ford tractors returned stateside with a roar in 1939 with the 9N, which incorporated the hitch system of Irish engineer and inventor Harry Ferguson.
In this book, tractor historian Robert Pripps provides a detailed and complete account of Ford tractors, from the earliest Fordsons to the Ford-Fergusons, the Ford N Series, and the Ford "World" tractors manufactured into the 1970s.
Amply illustrated, the book also offers extensive information on the numerous options and accessories, implements and variations that came out of Dearborn, Sherman Bros., and the great Funk Bros. hot rod conversions that could make each of these popular machines utterly unique. In between, the book traces year-to-year model changes within each series.
With content from Pripps' best-selling "The Big Book of Ford Tractors" and "The Illustrated Ford and Fordson Tractor Buyer's Guide", this work is supplemented with new text, data-packed specification boxes, and a largely new selection of incredible color photography and period advertising.
The only book offering comprehensive coverage of the breadth of collectible Ford tractors, "The Complete Book of Ford Tractors" is a must-have volume for every tractor enthusiast's library.
