The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Not sure what people have in their mind on the early history up to 1918, but these articles here are bound to make many of you think again about the early history if you haven't read them. I certainly didn't know this part of the story. Stuart Gibbard hints at it a bit in The Ford Tractor Story but doesn't go into much detail. These articles do, there's even a monthly serial number list for 1917 to 1919.
