Fordson?

Postby Jackman » Fri Jul 08, 2005 3:58 pm

Is Fordson ajoint Ford and Ferguson tractor? Or is the Fordson company not at all related to Ford or Ferguson?

Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but check this out:

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Fordson.
Before the 39/45 war, Fordson made the standard N tractor which after the war was uprated, changed a bit made taller using many N parts and we arrived at the E27N, the High Major which revolutionised the agricultural world in UK. Add on very basic up and down three point linkage hydraulics were available.
Both tractors very solid good workhorses, good for trailing ploughs, cultivators, trailers etc. The were quite thirsty though
The E27N were basically made at Dagenham East of London. The N was made at detroit and Dagenham, the fuel tanks tald the story of where.
The E27N was taken over by the lower Fordson Major with a steel bonnet, nearly always a diesel, hydraulics etc in the 50's soon after a smaller version the Dexta came out and was produced alongside, after that it was FORD, still the same old HENRY.
Here is a photo of oour E27N

Hope it helps even though the info is a bit sketchy,

Pat:

Someone used the term Henry to describe a tractor for sale in California(?) a short while back. Is the term Henry used exclusively for Fordson?

Eugene, my somewhat misleading dialog meant that through all this it all still was HENRY Ford who held the reins, if not he in person, the corporation both in England and USA, quite a bloke, his birthing of very early cars, vans and tractors is still alive and kicking today, not bad?
Good old Henry! shame he didn't use red paint or we might all be talking about his tractors!
