About Ford Tractors:

Ford Tractor history begins with Henry Ford, who started experimenting with gasoline engines around 1890. The first official Ford car, Model A, was introduced in 1903. In 1907, Henry built his first experimental work tractor and eventually created the Fordson brand to mass produce tractors. By 1920, the distribution of the Fordson shifted to the Ford Motor Company, leading to the production of many tractor models over the years.

The Early Tractors:

The Ford model 9N tractor, introduced in mid-year 1939, was a joint venture between Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson. The model 2N, made between 1942 - 1947, was built amid wartime material shortages, leading to the introduction of the model 8N in 1947, which featured significant improvements. The Ford Golden Jubilee NAA, made from late 1952 through 1954, marked the end of 8N production and introduced a completely redesigned NAA series tractor for 1953.

The one hundred series tractors, model 600 700 800 and 900, were made from 1954 to 1957, followed by the one hundred and one series tractors, model 501 601 701 801 and 901, made from 1957 to 1962. In 1962, Ford introduced the first Thousand series tractors, the 2000, 4000, and 6000, painted in the new Ford corporate blue color with a lighter gray trim.

These models came equipped with either 134 cubic inch ci gasoline engine, the 144 cubic inch ci diesel engine, the 172 cubic inch ci gasoline engine, or LP gas, or 172 cubic inch ci diesel engine, appealing to various agricultural needs.
