T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #1 Posted July 6, 2021 I pulled this and edited from another video. I may go back eventually and add more footage and try to get it to a better resolution. 6 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #2 Posted July 6, 2021 BTW, when Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson made their famous handshake in 1939, the Ferguson system was what Harry Ferguson brought to the table - Henry Ford was impressed. So, the Ford Ferguson 9N had this system on it, as well as the next Ford tractor models. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,968 #4 Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) We visited Omaha, Nebraska in the Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 finals several years ago. During the trip we made a visit to the University of Nebraska tractor test facility and museum. The original Ford tractors were not named or made by Henry Ford. This is why Henry Ford’s first tractors were named Fordson. The Nebraska Test Facility noted in the post above Jim made on the handshake deal by Ford and Ferguson was created by the State of Nebraska to test the safety of the original Ford tractor which had a problematic history. see more here: https://history.nebraska.gov/publications/tractor-testing-nebraska more on Ferguson and Ford : https://irishamerica.com/2004/02/a-tale-of-two-henrys-their-tractors/ Edited July 7, 2021 by Lane Ranger 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford-Ferguson Tractors during the 1940s (livinghistoryfarm.org) When Henry died in the mid-40s, his grandson, Henry Ford II was in charge and he broke the handshake deal. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
