Old ad for Ford w/Ferguson system.

I thought some of you might enjoy viewing the 1939 ad for equipment for Ford tractors and the tractor themselves.

Great stuff!
Thanks for posting this.
I have been driving my 1939 Ford every day for 16 years and 6 months

That is fantastic. I really have little experience with the N series tractors. City I worked for one year had what I was told was a NAA. Mainly used it for backhoe and a few time for mowing.

I have a line on a one-way disc plow so was looking for some photos and other information is the reason I came across that site.

Would like to get my hands on a 2 bottom disc plow or a moldboard 2 bottom.

Thanks for sharing, it is amazing how many of these tractors are still working on the farm, makes you wonder how many of these new tractors will be around in 60 plus years!

With so many now having plastic components and electronic dashes I doubt many will be. So glad my 1720 Ford has the analog gauges.

That's a great ad and let's you imagine how much it changed farming. It is funny though how there is no Ford tractor company any more.

[Windy in Kansas]

Sure a lot of tractor companies that have gone by the wayside. Along similar lines I wonder just how many auto companies have bit the dust during my lifetime?

Kaiser/Frazier, Desoto, Packard, Lark, Studebaker, Nash/Rambler, DeLorean, Avanti spin off company time and time again, or rebirth if you call it that, Oldsmobile or is it Pontiac? Those are just a few.

Those pictures bring back a lot of memories.My dad never did like any tractor with rear cultivators.He had AC's and Farmalls and could look ahead at the plows to see they were doing the job.Which we tended some new ground and often a root or small stump would lodge between the plows and you would see it quicker on front cultivators.I bought a new MF 165 and loved plowing with it,that is after all the roots and stumps were gone.

2 14 hyd plows are common at the sale I go to, as Fords were common at one time also. I never watch them sell. But im guessing with a pretty good hunch they go for round $100/200 Sometimes id say less than $100

Thanks that was great. Dad had an old 8n when I was growing up and now he has an old Ferguson. Both great tractors.
