Artifact Overview
For $135, the Pullford Company of Quincy, Illinois, sold a kit to convert a Ford Model T into a serviceable farm tractor. It included a pair of lugged steel wheels, a special rear framework, and gears to slow the T's rear axle. Marketed as a less expensive alternative to a purpose-built tractor, Pullford's kit remained popular through the 1930s farm crisis.
