FORDSON

     The Fordson Tractor Company was founded in 1917 from a collaboration between Henry Ford of the U.S.A. and Harry Ferguson from Ireland.  This deal was sealed with a handshake and no official paperwork was ever signed between the two men.  Originally there were several main Fordson Assembly plants.  The U.S. plant was in Dearborn, Michigan and painted all of their tractors gray with red wheels.  They had two plants in Ireland and these can be identified by their blue paint with orange wheels.  The tractors manufactured in England were painted orange from top to bottom.

    Soon after WWII Henry and Harry parted ways.  Ford continued manufacturing Fordsons well into the 1960's when they renamed the tractor division to the Ford name.  Fordson tractors are still manufactured under license from Ford in several countries to this day.  After the split Harry Ferguson started building his own line of tractors and eventually merged his company with Massey-Harris to form what became the Massey Ferguson Company.
