From a book on general technology as it looked in 1986. Wow that's 40 years ago! Ford had just purchased New Holland. The Ford-New Holland company went on to be purchased by Fiat in 1991, phasing out the Ford name by the late 90s. New Holland and Case then merged to become CNH and the Ford name was long gone.
Ford had gotten into tractors in 1917, rapidly becoming a industry leader with the Fordson and later the 9N, 2N and 8N tractors...

schools should have wallpaper on all of the walls of cutaways so all the snotty nosed brats will have something interesting to look at and teach them to think about how stuff works... instead of learning about boring crap they'll never remember. cutaway diagrams on all of the surfaces of/on everything inside of the school. everywhere you look.
The Ford four wheel drive tractors were designed and built by Versatile and received blue and white paint when Ford acquired Versatile in 1987
The Ford Four-Wheel-Drive shown in the cutaway is one of the models Steiger built for Ford. The Versatile tractors weren't sold by Ford-New Holland until Versatile was purchased in 1986 or 1987.
