In Norway, the tractor was nicknamed ' Stegamajor ' due to its considerable height compared to the old Fordson N.(Stega=Ladder)</span><span style="font-size: 13px">[</span></span><span style="font-size: 13px"><span style="color: rgb(6, 69, 173)">edit</span><span style="color: black">]</span></span><span style="color: black"><span style="font-size: 15px">E1A<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Fordson Major E1Post-war shortages delayed the development of an entirely new tractor. In 1953, the E1A 'New Major' entered production with a Spanish built diesel engine and a modified version of the E27N transmission. The driver sat significantly lower, which led to the E27N being nicknamed the ' High Major ' . In 1958, - the Power Major - was introduced with 51.8 h.p. and an improved transmission and ' live-drive ' hydraulics, and then in 1960 the final version, the Super Major came out with a weight transfer system and differential lock. The Super Major was produced until 1964. These tractors were exported to the U.S - the first since 1939 - badged as Fords.<br /> Meanwhile, a smaller new three cylinder version, the Dexta had been launched to compete with the success of the Massey Ferguson 35. After 1964, the Fordson name was dropped and all Ford tractors were simply badged as Fords in both the U.K. and the U.S.</span><span style="font-size: 13px">[</span></span><span style="font-size: 13px"><span style="color: rgb(6, 69, 173)">edit</span><span style="color: black">]</span></span><span style="color: black"><span style="font-size: 15px">VariantsIn 1926, Fordson demonstrated a Model F converted into a snowmobile, which they dubbed the 'Snow-Motor'.</span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(6, 69, 173)">[29]</span><span style="color: black"> The tractor used bullet-shaped screws instead of wheels to move across the snow.

In cold weather it was a chore to start because the oil congealed on the cylinder walls and on the clutch plates. It had to be hand cranked repeatedly with great effort. Strong men took turns cranking between intervals when individual ignition coils were adjusted. Sometimes farmers would build a fire under the tractor to warm up the crankcase and gear boxes to make it crank easier. The tractor, when in use, was fueled by kerosene, but gasoline was required to start it. Once started, the trial was not over. To get it in motion, the gears had to be shifted and the clutch would not disengage fully from the engine to allow gear change. Once the gear change was accomplished by ramming the hand lever into position, and listening to the grating noise, the tractor would start forward immediately (there had better be clear space ahead). The clutch pedal had to be ridden for a while until the oil warmed up and the clutch released.<br /> The Fordson could pull discs and plows that would require at least four mules to pull, and it could work all day long, provided the radiator was continually filled, the fuel replenished, and the water in the air filter tank changed. The carburetor air was filtered by bubbling it through a water tank. On dry days, mud would build up in the water tank after a few of hours of operation. The mud would then have to be flushed out and the tank refilled.</span><span style="font-size: 13px">[</span></span><span style="font-size: 13px"><span style="color: rgb(6, 69, 173)">edit</span><span

American engineer, inventor, and businessman [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Henry Ford[/color][color=black]built experimental tractors from automobile components during the early 20th century, and launched a prototype known as the Model B in August 1915. He formed Henry Ford and Son in 1910 in [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Dearborn, Michigan[/color][color=black], taking his young son [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Edsel Ford[/color][color=black] as a partner, which was later incorporated on July 27, 1917. The first Fordson Model F was completed in 1916 and was the first small, lightweight, mass-produced, affordable tractor in the world,[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][1][/color][color=black]making it possible for the average farmer to own a tractor for the first time. Thus Henry Ford and colleagues had done again, for the tractor, what they had recently done for the automobile with the [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Ford Model T[/color][color=black]. The Fordson tractor went into mass production in 1917 and debuted for sale on October 8, 1917,[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][1][/color][color=black] for $750. The original Fordson used a 20 horsepower, four-cylinder [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]vaporising oil[/color][color=black] engine, a three-speed spur gear transmission (the three forward speeds ranged from approximately 2¼ to 6¼ [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]mph[/color][color=black]), and a [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]worm gear[/color][color=black] reduction set in the [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]differential[/color][color=black]. Despite several early design flaws and reliability issues such as engine failure and unbearable heat, the Fordson established a firm foothold on U.S. farms, with more than seventy percent market share in earlier years. By mid-1918, more than 6,000 Fordson tractors were in use in Britain, Canada, and the United States. Annual production reached 36,781 in 1921 and 99,101 in 1926. By 1925, Ford had built its 500,000th Fordson tractor. Ford was the only automotive firm to sell cars, trucks, and tractors simultaneously from 1917 to 1928, during which time 552,799 Fordson tractors were built at the Dearborn, Michigan factory. An economic recession and plummeting farm income depressed the market in 1925. Ford Motor Company ended its U.S. tractor production on February 14, 1928 and transferred manufacture to [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Cork[/color][color=black], [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Ireland[/color][color=black] in 1929 and later [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Dagenham[/color][color=black], [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Essex[/color][color=black], [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]England[/color][color=black]. The Fordson brand was used on several other models manufactured in England including the 9N, 8N and later the Major, Dexta, Power Major, Super Major, and Super Dexta until 1964. Afterwards, the Fordson brand name was discontinued and replaced with the Ford marque.

In Ireland, businessman [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Harry Ferguson[/color][color=black] had designed a tractor incorporating a hydraulic [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]three-point hitch[/color][color=black].[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black] Eber Sherman, importer of Fordsons from Ireland to the US and a friend of both Ford and Ferguson, arranged to have Ferguson demonstrate his tractor for Henry Ford. In October 1938 the Ferguson tractor was put through a demonstration before Ford and his engineers. It was light in weight relative to its power, which impressed Ford.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black] 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.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black] Ford Motor Company invested $12 million in tooling to finance Ferguson ' s new distribution company.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][27][/color][color=black] The investment resulted in the production of the Ford-Ferguson 9N tractor which was introduced on June 29, 1939.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][27][/color][color=black] It sold for $585 including rubber tires, power take-off, Ferguson hydraulics, an electric starter, generator, and battery; lights were optional. Ford ' s 9N further improved the cantankerous Model F by updating the ignition with a distributor and coil. 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.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][27][/color][color=black] The 9N weighed 2340 pounds and had 13 drawbar horsepower, which could pull a two-bottom plow.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black] It was designed to be safe, quiet and easy to operate. Ford once said 'Our competition is the horse.'; the 9N was intended for farmers who were not mechanically minded.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black] An immediate success, the 9N ' s configuration became an industry standard, which was followed by other tractor manufacturers for fifteen years. Henry Ford passed leadership of his company to grandson [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Henry Ford II[/color][color=black] in 1945. By 1946, the younger Ford discovered that, despite its success, the Model N lost Ford Motor Company over $25 million dollars in six years.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black] He reacted by forming Dearborn Motors in November 1946, which took over tractor distribution from Ferguson.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black] Ford informed Ferguson that after July 1947 they would no longer supply tractors to his company.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][26][/color][color=black]Ferguson sued Henry Ford II, Dearborn Motors and Ford Motor Company and others for $251 million in damages on the basis of patent infringements and conspiracy to monopolize the farm tractor business.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][28][/color][color=black] Ford Motor Company claimed the patents had already expired by the time of Dearborn Motors ' incorporation.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][28][/color][color=black] Approximately 750,000 9Ns were built, and it was estimated in 2001 that nearly half of these were still in regular use.[/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][25][/color][color=black] Harry Ferguson had understood that the handshake agreement had included the manufacture of the 9N in Britain. World War II intervened and prevented this, although one explanation was that Ford UK was uninterested in the plan.[/color][/size][color=black][size=13px][[/size][/color][size=13px][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]edit[/color][color=black]][/color][/size][color=black][size=15px]2N and 8N .In 1942 Ford introduced the 2N model tractor. This was surprising because so much steel was being used to manufacture products for U.S. and allied troops during World War II. In 1947 the very popular 8N tractor was introduced. More than 500,000 8Ns were sold in America between 1947 and 1952. The 8N was replaced with the 1953 'Golden Jubilee' tractor.[/size][size=13px][[/size][/color][size=13px][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]edit[/color][color=black]][/color][/size][color=black][size=15px]E27N 1947 Fordson StegamajorThe Fordson E27N Major was based on the Fordson N, and made in England from 1945, having the same engine and transmission but in a new casing which allowed for a PTO and hydraulic arms, an optional extra made by either Smiths or Varley. A high speed top gear was offered and special versions for contractors and industry. Loaders were available from several firms including Mil. Like the Standard, the tractor ran on paraffin (tractor vaporising oil in the UK). Perkins P4 and P6 diesel versions were available and proved to be a successful after-sale conversion. In Norway, the tractor was nicknamed ' Stegamajor ' due to its considerable height compared to the old Fordson N.(Stega=Ladder)[/size][size=13px][[/size][/color][size=13px][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]edit[/color][color=black]][/color][/size][color=black][size=15px]E1A Fordson Major E1Post-war shortages delayed the development of an entirely new tractor. In 1953, the E1A 'New Major' entered production with a Spanish built diesel engine and a modified version of the E27N transmission. The driver sat significantly lower, which led to the E27N being nicknamed the ' High Major ' . In 1958, - the Power Major - was introduced with 51.8 h.p. and an improved transmission and ' live-drive ' hydraulics, and then in 1960 the final version, the Super Major came out with a weight transfer system and differential lock. The Super Major was produced until 1964. These tractors were exported to the U.S - the first since 1939 - badged as Fords. Meanwhile, a smaller new three cylinder version, the Dexta had been launched to compete with the success of the Massey Ferguson 35. After 1964, the Fordson name was dropped and all Ford tractors were simply badged as Fords in both the U.K. and the U.S.[/size][size=13px][[/size][/color][size=13px][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]edit[/color][color=black]][/color][/size][color=black][size=15px]VariantsIn 1926, Fordson demonstrated a Model F converted into a snowmobile, which they dubbed the 'Snow-Motor'.[/size][/color][size=15px][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)][29][/color][color=black] The tractor used bullet-shaped screws instead of wheels to move across the snow.

In 1991 Ford sold its tractor division to [/color][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]Fiat[/color][color=black] with the agreement that they must stop using the Ford name by 2000. In 1998, Fiat removed all Ford identification from their blue tractors and renamed them 'New Holland' tractors.[/color][/size][color=black][size=13px][[/size][/color][size=13px][color=rgb(6, 69, 173)]edit[/color][color=black]][/color][/size][color=black][size=15px]Machine operationThe early Fordson tractor engines were difficult to start. In cold weather it was a chore to start because the oil congealed on the cylinder walls and on the clutch plates. It had to be hand cranked repeatedly with great effort. Strong men took turns cranking between intervals when individual ignition coils were adjusted. Sometimes farmers would build a fire under the tractor to warm up the crankcase and gear boxes to make it crank easier. The tractor, when in use, was fueled by kerosene, but gasoline was required to start it. Once started, the trial was not over. To get it in motion, the gears had to be shifted and the clutch would not disengage fully from the engine to allow gear change. Once the gear change was accomplished by ramming the hand lever into position, and listening to the grating noise, the tractor would start forward immediately (there had better be clear space ahead). The clutch pedal had to be ridden for a while until the oil warmed up and the clutch released. The Fordson could pull discs and plows that would require at least four mules to pull, and it could work all day long, provided the radiator was continually filled, the fuel replenished, and the water in the air filter tank changed. The carburetor air was filtered by bubbling it through a water tank. On dry days, mud would build up in the water tank after a few of hours of operation. The mud would then have to be flushed out and the tank refilled.[/size][size=13px][[/size][/color][size=13px][color=rgb(6, 69,
