Who decided to sell this unic family item .Had it bene in my family it would have stayed there for ever. What a lovely tractor
What a story and tractor, he was an extraordinary man, he and Harry Ferguson achieved a lot in the tractor history, thanks for showing this
Visited the Museum many times in the 70's and remember seeing it along with the other Tractors and assorted AG equipment.
Goodness... kids need stuff like this to learn on... and those safety features are great👍
One Fabulous piece indeed! being a 1 of 1 and made/owned by Henry ford! Wow.
Henry Ford: invents the compact tractor
Henry Ford was able to decide what he wanted to be built and by whom in the time. That he asked for this little tractor to be built for his grand children was no surprise. Asked is maybe not the right word. Oh to be so powerful!
I get tired of people using the word, 'unique' to describe mass produced machines, but this piece truly deserves it.
You don't get too darn many nearly 100 year old one off units of ANYTHING in this kind of condition.
What in the world is such a unique piece of automotive history as this worth? This little guy is from the John Deere Dain era and even more rare. Whether Ford guys or general tractor guys will pay more than JD prices remains to be seen.
God bless America!
That's a special little tractor.
Awesome find. Thanks for sharing
That's really something.
The extra "S" creates meaning to the name: Ford Sons.
Henry Ford's estate was named Fairlane,and as I recall was about 1300 acres here in Dearborn ,Michigan. The house is 31,000 square feet and has 56 rooms.It is currently under restoration, but public tours were conducted.
The same people who Mr. Ford warned us about in his writings, later destroyed Dearborn (as part of a larger scheme but Dearborn was picked in particular. Such a shame. Sorry Mr. Ford.
Yeah...I heard that Mayor Orville Hubbard s statue was going to be hauled down. An approved FoMoCo government official. Too bad....the world really is changing...and not necessarily for the better.
That's probably where the name for Dearborn equipment, made by ford, came from.
VERY KOOL SCORE !!!!
APART OF AMERICAN 🇺🇸 HISTORY
FOR SURE THERE. 👏🏼 .......
GREAT VIDEO & TUTORIAL AZ WELL.....
Nice video and a Thumbs Up liked.
Thank you for sharing this story. Could it be possible that you take several still photos of that tractor for me. My son is crazy about Fords tractor. I will use those photos to create a story of Fords in early time.
Great story!
Interesting. 😊
What a great grandpa!
That’s what you call a single cheek seat!
Wow. That’s cool.
Way cool
Wow!
Any guesses as to what it will sell for??
These days, 8 to 10 year old boys need big seats,,,if they were to leave the video game room, or even had a clue as to what a tractor was.
Or what agriculture is! To them food comes from the local convenience store in a bag or a can and paid for with moms EBT card
Nice
As a native Michigander who grew up 4 miles from the Dearborn/Rouge areas where this would have been produced one hundred years ago, I offer a potential theory as to the "s." We Mid-Westerners have a habit of adding an 's' onto places/companies/people where it may not always necessarily make grammatical or practical sense, but sort of sounds better to the ear. Common examples include stores like "Meijers," and "Walmarts," to the pretty common "Fords" of today- or possibly "Fordson(s)" of yesteryear. Or I'm just over-thinking it; and they added the 'S' if it was literally built for "Ford's Son's."
It probably says fordsons because it’s for fords sons (it grandsons at least)
that is also a model T steering wheel,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
You'd need one seat for each cheek !!!
My grandpa has a 45 Ford tractor, how do I find out what implements that it can use? Thanks
newt duke: A 1945 Ford tractor is probably a 2N. Like the other N series tractors it uses mounted implements on its three point hitch. The implement size is referred to as "category one" implements. You can find used equipment sometimes at farm auctions, but your best source is one of the farm supply stores like Tractor Supply. Some modern companies like John Deere and Kabota make the same size implements currently, and might be a good source also.
If your real question is what can it handle, if your tractor is in good tune, it can pull a 2x12 plow, a five foot disc, a wagon or cart, it can handle a Woods mower, but I don't know what size, probably less than five foot. You only have about 20-24 horsepower to work with as pulling power, a little more on the PTO.
Thanks that's really helpful I appreciate it
1920s 8 to 10yr old boys: gets first tractor learns how to farm and do something productive.
2020s 8 to 10yr old boys: gets first iPhone and learns how to waste hours away on minecraft... boy how times have changed
It's a Hoyte-Clagwell.
If he would have them put a belly mower under it he would had a big start in the riding mower business.
When u put ur hand across the seat, all I thought was yep, that hand would also fit the bottom of a 8 10 year old boy....
So basicly ford built the first compact tractor....
To bad Ford did not make this as a mass production piece to give snmall rural farmers a afforadable replacement for a mule.
Yep, the first riding mower or garden tractor.
The actual Fordson tractor WAS designed to take the place of a team of mules or horses. Look around UA-cam and you'll find old movie advertisements that were still comparing the tractors of the day to the horses used on the farm still in the mid 1930's. My dad came of age in the late 1930's. his dad bought six 9N Fords to use on their farm, one for himself, one for each son and one for each of the hired men. They stepped from teams of horse to tractors in 1939. According to my dad, the tractors were great labor savers, but at least with a team of horses, the horses got tired and both the team and you got to take a break. Not so with a tractor.
Yep just add a bigger seat
Was it not a Fordson no s tacked on
Форд знал что делать
Ok How Much did you PAY for it PLEASE ?
Eighty five thousand.
I bet it will or could auction for $ One Million, minimum.
You would have lost the bet sadly. It brought eighty five thousand
You can't fool me this is a Hoyt-Clagwell. That front wheel is about to fall right off there.
So the chasis is a Hoyt-Clagwell with a fordsons name imbedded in the frame ?
@@doublejfarmshomestead4501 Yes
@@smug8567 : You got any proof? Because their paperwork, numbers, embossments and such state otherwise.
Sure will be interesting to see what it fetches at auction!
