It proved to be the most popular farm tractor of all time in North America. Development of the Ford- Ferguson tractors. The hitch is shown as an aftermarket attachment mounted on a Fordson tractor. It is a fully mechanical version with a depth wheel (small wheel that sets the plow depth). The first genuine Ford tractor, called the Fordson tractor (because a misleading Ford brand not related to Henry Ford was squatting on the Ford name at the time), was a tremendous success in North America and Europe from 1.
Ford Ltd of Britain continued to thrive with the Fordson from 1. Some British Fordsons were imported to the U. S. Henry Ford continued tractor R& D in the U. S. During the 1. 93. Ford's Dearborn, Michigan and Richmond Plantation, Georgia facilities, creating prototypes of row- crop tricycle Fordsons, V8- powered tractors, one- wheel- drive tractors, and other ideas. But Henry Ford waited to reenter the market, planning to have the right new tractor at the right time to achieve a market- changing success.

In 1. 92. 0 and 1. Cork and Dearborn of his hitches and implements as aftermarket attachments to Fordson tractors. The hitches were mechanical at the time. By 1. 92. 6, he and a team of longtime colleagues (including Willie Sands and Archie Greer) had developed a good hydraulic three- point hitch. Ferguson put such hitches on Fordsons throughout the 1.
In the mid- 1. 93. David Brown Ltd build Ferguson- brand tractors with his hitches and implements. In 1. 93. 8, Eber Sherman, importer of Fordsons from England to the United States and a friend of both Ford and Ferguson, arranged to have Ferguson demonstrate his tractor for Henry Ford. It was light in weight relative to its power, which impressed Ford. It sold for $5. 85 including rubber tires, power take- off, Ferguson hydraulics, an electric starter, generator, and battery; lights were optional. Ford's 9. N further improved the cantankerous Model F by updating the ignition with a distributor and coil. An innovative system of tire mounts for the rear wheels and versatile axle mounts for the fronts enabled farmers to accommodate any width row- crop work they needed.
Henry Ford passed leadership of his company to grandson Henry Ford II in 1. By 1. 94. 6, the younger Ford discovered that, despite its success, the Model N lost Ford Motor Company over $2. World War II intervened and prevented this, although one explanation was that Ford UK was uninterested in the plan. N Series models. The 9.
N was first demonstrated in Dearborn, Michigan on June 2. Its model name reflected a model- naming system using the last digit of the year of introduction and a letter for product type, with . Like the Farmall, it was designed to be a general- purpose row- crop tractor for use on smaller farms. An extremely simple tractor, the 9.
N was fitted with the Ferguson system three- point hitch, a three- speed transmission, and featured footpegs instead of running boards. The 9. N's relatively tall and wide- spaced front wheel design resulted in somewhat sluggish steering and reduced maneuverability compared to competing machines such as John Deere's Models A and B, and the Farmall .
The 9. N had variable front track, a valuable feature for row- crop cultivation, via front half- axles that could be slid in and out and pinned in place. It also had variable rear track via the reversible offset of the rear wheel design (flipping the rear wheels around 1.
Uniquely, the exhaust was routed underneath the tractor, much like an automobile. All 9. N tractors were painted dark grey. This tractor has a rear PTO, which could be used to drive three- point or towed implements.
The Ferguson hitch was designed to solve some of the problems found in the earlier Fordson tractors, such as flipping over if the plow hit an obstruction. The upper link also would adjust the hydraulic lift to use the drag of the plow to improve traction. This was known as draft control. The original 9. N engine was a four- cylinder engine and was designed to be powered by distillate fuels. The engine shares the same bore and stroke sizes as one bank of the Ford V8 automobile engines. A few standard Ford auto and truck parts, such as timing gears and valve tappets, were used in this engine. The ford 9. N engine was a side- valve, four- cylinder engine, with a 3.
The transmission was the standard three- speed. The finished tractor weighed 2,3.
US$5. 85. This was an advantage, as tractors from other manufactures cost almost twice as much. The 2. N still came in dark grey, but now had added improvements, including a larger cooling fan and a pressurized radiator.
However, the 2. N, like the 9. N, still had only a 3- speed transmission, a disadvantage compared to many tractors at the time, such as the Farmall A and M. By this time, wartime regulations had imposed manufacturing economies, and some 2. Ns can be seen with all- steel wheels. Batteries were reserved for the war effort, so the all- steel wheel tractors came with a magneto ignition system instead of a battery and had to be started with a hand- crank.
Introducing a new model name also allowed Ford to raise the price of the tractor. Wartime price controls prevented the raising of prices on existing models, but they could not determine the price of a . Despite the model name change, the serial numbers continued to be prefixed with .
Since the original agreement between Ford and Ferguson was sealed with a handshake (versus a written contract) and included the notion that either party could terminate it at any time without reason, Henry Ford II didn't feel the need to continue to honor it. Ferguson was furious and sued Ford Motor Company. A few years later his Ferguson interests were merged with Massey Harris, a Canadian company, to become Massey Ferguson. Official production of the 8. N tractor began in July 1.
Equipped with a 4- speed transmission, this model was destined to become the top- selling individual tractor of all time in North America. The most noticeable differences between the 8. N and its predecessors was the inclusion of a 4- speed transmission instead of a 3- speed in the 9.
N and 2. N, and an increase in both PTO and drawbar horsepower. The other big change on the 8. N was the addition of a 'Position- control' setting for the hydraulics. This change was made partially to improve flexibility in varying soil conditions, and partially to evade Harry Ferguson's patent on the hydraulic system. The original automatic draft control on the Ferguson system would allow the depth of the implement to vary based on soil conditions, which did not work well for some implements. The new Position Control setting bypassed the draft control and allowed the implement to remain at a consistent position relative to the position of the Touch Control lever. A continued drawback to this series of tractor, was the lack of a .
Without a live PTO certain implements such as brush cutters which store inertial energy could send that back into the transmission. This would cause the tractor to surge forward if the clutch were disengaged. This was addressed with the advent of the PTO overrunning coupler.
The 8. N was equipped with running boards and was painted lighter gray on the sheetmetal and red on the body. It was the first Ford tractor to feature a clutch on the left side and independent brakes on the right. The wide- spaced front wheel design of the 9. N and 2. N was retained. In 1. 95. 0 the 8. N design changed to feature a side- mounted distributor, as well a Proofmeter (combined speedometer, tachometer, hour meter) located on the lower right portion of the dash. Replacement. The new tractor was four inches longer, four inches higher and 1.
