antique tractor

By 1921, Fordson tractors represented about half of the tractors sold in the U.S. Henry Ford, however,adamantly refused to improve his tractor. Although he made more than 100,000 Fordsons during 1923 and again in 1925, the glory days of the crude little Fordson, with its iffy ignition and lack of a governor, were coming to and end in this country, signaled by the 1924 introduction of the all new Farmall row crop tractor manufactured by International Harvester Co.

Another year is almost over and I can hardly wait to see the entries for the next edition of the Iron Memories storybook.

As you may already know every year we gather information from our antique tractor friends and put them together a full color book filled with pictures and 45-50 tractor restoration stories to mail out in the spring.
