Henry Ford's Experimental Tractor
The knowledge Ford gained by experimenting with this tractor ultimately led to his creation of the popular Fordson.
Henry Ford's farming roots led to a lifelong desire to make farmers' work easier. This experimental tractor, which Ford called his "automotive plow," used available parts like a 1905 Model B Ford engine, a 1907 Model K Ford radiator, and rear wheels borrowed from a grain binder.
Made about 1907 |
