Synopsis:

In this beautifully illustrated history of Ford's tractors, author and photographer Randy Leffingwell celebrates the Ford family of tractors from their development to modern day. Research and photography, courtesy of the Henry Ford Museum Archives, brings Ford tractors and their creators to life. With archival black-and-white photography, and stunning full-color restorations, Leffingwell tells the story of the legendary Fordson, the Model T conversion tractors, European models, and the making of the beloved Ford-Ferguson Model 9N. Ford Farm Tractors is a book that belongs in the collection of any fan of these beautiful machines.

Synopsis: Evocative color photography and a well-researched text trace the history of the Ford Motor Company's involvement in the tractor industry. Ford set that industry on its ear in the 1910s and 1920s with the introduction of the Fordson, and again in 1939 with the Ford-Ferguson 9N. Innovation at the drawing board, however, was often derailed by the ways of the business world. Leffingwell traces the history of Ford tractors to modern times, through the convoluted path of mergers and buyouts that ultimately led to the Ford Motor Company's complete separation from Ford tractors.
