  • The Ferguson wasn't really a copy of the Ford, shared a lot of the same design philosophy and some of the same engineering staff. *NM* *PIC*
    • Wayne, you're comparing a 9N/2N (gray) to an 8N (red/gray). That's not a fair comparison. Notice I did not state an 8N. Ferguson worked for a Ford distributorship in the UK. Ford licensed the 3-point to Ford, Ford licensed the tractor to him. *NM*
      • Correction: Ferguson licensed the 3-point to Ford. FWIW, Ford sued for the Ferguson patent and won. *NM*
        • Some valid points there. Here's a link to a good article on the history of the 3 link for more then most of the hot rod people here will want to know. *NM* *LINK*
  • My granddaughter has and old tractor not a Ford but it's a tractor. I thought it was but what do I know. PIX
    • That;s part of the companies that became Interhational Harvester and is now Case IH after all the mergers. *NM*
    • WOW... So she has moved on from her little Economy garden tractor? *NM*
  • Very nice build Munchie! I got one of those kits originally to make a "memory replica" of an old farmer neighbor's Ford 6N/8N. *NM*
