Ford-Ferguson Model 9N Tractor, 1940
01
Artifact Overview
The Ford Motor Company re-entered the U.S. tractor business in 1939 with the 9N, a Ford tractor with a 3-point hydraulic hitch-and-lift system invented by Harry Ferguson. The system kept the implement in line with the tractor and helped stabilize both. Ford moved from zero to nearly 8 percent of U.S. tractor sales by 1940, behind International Harvester, John Deere, Massey-Ferguson, and Allis Chalmers.
