Rise and fall of Ford tractors


 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...
