Ford tractors owe their development to the famous gentlemans handshake agreement between Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson, combining Fords tractor with Fergusons revolutionary equipment system. The result was the N Series tractors that changed agriculture forever. Author Robert N. Pripps tells the story of Ford tractors, from the two men with the original vision to the development, analysis, specifications, options, production charts, and legacy of each revolutionary model. Ford Tractors includes dozens of photographs showcasing the Fordson, Ferguson-David Brown Black tractor, Ford N Series, and the later Ford and Ferguson tractors, 1916 to 1954.
