Fordson tractors grow from Ford car design
The Fordson tractor traced its origins to a modified Ford car with special wheels and mechanical changes. By 1908 a workable tractor could plow and harrow, followed by nine years of further experimentation before market release. Fordson assembly occurs at Dearborn and St. Louis with plans for Des Moines and Cork Ireland plants.
