Ford Tractors

A Short Introduction to Ford Tractors For Sale

Henry Ford built the first Ford Motor Company tractor in 1907. The Fordson became the first of the automotive firm’s mass-produced tractors. Ford continues to manufacture farm and garden tractors.

Youll find a huge selection of pre-owned Ford tractors for sale in the UK. The most important criteria for tractor purchase are the planned use and the mechanical design. Beyond that, consider nostalgia, aesthetic design, and colour. Some of the other factors to take into consideration include the following:

• Use: How you use the tractor makes a huge difference. Choose between a full-sized Ford tractor or a garden tractor. Will you plow snow, mow the lawn, use it for hay rides, or simply display it? Also, consider any accessories you will need with the tractor.
• Mechanical design: Specific tasks require a particular strength of design. This could include a specific axle design, drive system, strength of frame, steering system, transmission, or wheel spindles.
• Nostalgia: Consider your personal ties to a brand like the Ford your granddad may have owned.
• Aesthetic design: Choose a retro or a contemporary look. Do you want a squared-off, rugged style or one reminiscent of 1950s classic cars?
• Colour: Ford’s traditional colour is blue, but you can obtain a Ford in any of a number of colours.

You will find parts for each of Ford’s various tractor models. This includes its vintage model tractors. Whether you need a brake rod or rear axle, you need to know the tractor model and series. Not all Ford parts or aftermarket parts fit every tractor. If you have the owner’s manual for the tractor, check it for specifications and tractor data, including these types:

• Fordson
• N series of 8N, 9N, 2N, and NAA
• Jubilee
• The Hundreds series of 541, 600, 601, 641, 700, 740, 800, 801, 841, 850, 860, 861, 901, and 960

You’ll see both replacement and restoration parts. Replacement parts may be used on any tractor of that style and model. These are aftermarket parts that may differ in design from the original manufacturer parts. Restoration parts refer to manufacturer or aftermarket parts made to the design and specifications as those with which the tractor drove off the line. You use these on vintage tractors to restore them to their original condition.
