The Complete Book of Classic Ford Tractors [PDF ebook] 
Every Model 1917-1996

Here’s your beautifully photographed one-stop source for everything you ever wanted to know about the immensely popular classic Ford tractors.



First manufactured in 1917, Ford tractors (initially sold under the Fordson name, a contraction of Henry Ford & Son) were, thanks to mass production,
the first affordable and reliable machines that allowed small farmers to replace draft animals . Though manufacture was exclusive to Great Britain by the 1930s, Ford tractors returned stateside with a roar in 1939 with the
9N , which incorporated the hitch system of Irish engineer and inventor Harry Ferguson.



In this comprehensive addition to
Motorbooks’ Complete Book Series , tractor historian Robert Pripps provides a detailed and complete account of Ford tractors, from the earliest
Fordsons to the
Ford-Fergusons , the
Ford N Series , and the
Ford “World” tractors manufactured into the 1970s. Amply illustrated, the book also offers extensive information on the numerous
options and
accessories ,
implements and
variations that came out of Dearborn, Sherman Bros., and the great Funk Bros. hot rod conversions that could make each of these popular machines utterly unique. In between, the book traces
year-to-year model changes within each series.



With content from Pripps’ best-selling
The Big Book of Ford Tractors and
The Illustrated Ford and Fordson Tractor Buyer’s Guide,
The Complete Book of Ford Tractors is supplemented with
new text ,
data-packed specification boxes , and a largely new selection of
incredible color photography and
period advertising .
