History of American Farm tractor.
When the 9n Fords appeared in the late thirties they were perhaps one of the most important technological developments in America. This little tractor increased a man's productivity on the farm by multiples. More modern tractors are available now, but they cost much more, and are really only a refinement of Henry Ford's and Harry Ferguson's solid, basic idea. What set it apart from it's rivals of the time was a simple hydraulic system that makes all sorts of attachments practical: posthole diggers, cement mixers, mowers, blades, scoops, chippers, plows, rakes, etc. The engine is basically a Model A Ford, probably of 20 hp or so. The 9N Ford should be in antique shows because of its age, many are, but most are still in use today. Parts are readily available from many sources at this time. Go find one of the old Ford Tractors and give it a home.
