History:
Ford, a manufacturer in the automotive industry, took an interest in agricultural tractors at a very early stage. Following unsuccessful trials, it joined forces with Ferguson to produce a small tractor during the Second World War, which was highly sophisticated and modern compared to the metal-wheeled, non-lift models of the 1920s. From 1942 onwards, the first models were brought to market and the much-anticipated success was realised; even the US Army took a liking to them, as the tractors were deployed at airfields as runway tractors, the armed forces’ fuel supply service and on aircraft carriers as well, though in a version with a different body.
Condition:
The Fordson Major shown here has suffered fire damage to the left-hand side following a short circuit. The engine is not seized and the tractor can be repaired or used as a source of spare parts.
