yarnall Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 There were literally hundreds of thousands of them made. They made them in the US and in England, maybe other placed too. I am no Ford fan. They are pretty cool though. There have been lots of books written about them. I have one. I'm sure there is plenty of information on the intraweb for the looking.

mrsmackpaul Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 to my under standing but I am most likely wrong all those Fordsons were made in Cork Ireland the home of Henry Ford and then sent around the world they were very dangerous tractor as the draw bar hitch point was in the wrong spot and the tractor would rear up right over it self in a matter of seconds so ford added those big back mud gaurds to try and stop it as said above they made hundreds of thousands of them even with henry fords backing of cash ford never seemed to quite get it right with farm equipment he made lots of stuff cheap and flogged it off but once we got to the 1970's other tractor people were making stuff cheap and better designed and as they say the rest is history Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37373-fordson-steel-wheel-tractor/#findComment-263277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Just wondered how to tell the year of it and any idea on value.Yesterday's Tractors site has a serial number list with years (left column under Research). It does not mention the location of the SN.

41chevy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This is the one I saw on the auction,I was wrong on the price,it brought $450 .043.JPGThink after almost 90 years it would do better the double it's original cost. There was a few on the East end of Long Island, I couldn't give them away. Ended up pulling the T engines, the wheels and selling them and scrapping the rest.
