Ford informed Ferguson that after July 1947 they would no longer supply tractors to his company. He reacted by forming Dearborn Motors in November 1946, which took over tractor distribution from Ferguson. By 1946, the younger Ford discovered that, despite its success, the Model N lost Ford Motor Company over $25 million in six years. Henry Ford passed leadership of his company to grandson Henry Ford II in 1945. Īn immediate success, the 9N's configuration became an industry standard, which was followed by other tractor manufacturers for fifteen years. Ford once said 'Our competition is the horse.' the 9N was intended for farmers who were not mechanically minded. It was designed to be safe, quiet and easy to operate. The 9N weighed 2340 pounds and had 13 drawbar horsepower, which could pull a two-bottom plow. An innovative system of tire mounts for the rear wheels and versatile axle mounts for the fronts enabled farmers to accommodate any width row-crop work they needed. Ford's 9N further improved the cantankerous Model F by updating the ignition with a distributor and coil. It sold for $585 including rubber tires, power take-off, Ferguson hydraulics, an electric starter, generator, and battery lights were optional. It was officially called a 'Ford tractor with the Ferguson system', although the name Ford-Ferguson was widely used. The investment resulted in the production of the 9N tractor which was introduced on June 29, 1939. įord Motor Company invested $12 million in tooling to finance Ferguson's new distribution company. Ferguson's successful tractor demonstration led to a handshake agreement with Ford in 1938, whereby Ford would manufacture tractors using the Ferguson three-point hitch system. It was light in weight relative to its power, which impressed Ford. In October 1938 the Ferguson tractor was put through a demonstration before Ford and his engineers. In 1938, Eber Sherman, importer of Fordsons from England to the United States and a friend of both Ford and Ferguson, arranged to have Ferguson demonstrate his tractor for Henry Ford. In the mid-1930s, he had David Brown Ltd build Ferguson-brand tractors with his hitches and implements. Ferguson put such hitches on Fordsons throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. By 1926, he and a team of longtime colleagues (including Willie Sands and Archie Greer) had developed a good hydraulic three-point hitch. In 19 he gave demonstrations at Cork and Dearborn of his hitches and implements as aftermarket attachments to Fordson tractors. His first tractors were adapted from Model T cars.
