Hey Tom great job on this Ford documentary! All the old footage and literature is really cool to see. nothing here would ever take the place of my 140 though.

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

I agree. I love my 140 too. Thank You for watching

Thanks, you have so many brochures. I hope to see more videos which display all the pages of a given brochure. Also, thanks for including the New Holland stuff since Ford tractor division was purchased by New Holland. I find it amusing to think that New Holland in now owned by CNH/Fiat which is incorporated in Amsterdam, Netherlands. (Old Holland)

We always had new holland mower conditioners, rakes and balers when I was growing up. My brother in law just got a New Holland 575 with a thrower on it. I didn’t think about the Holland part, but you’re right. I’ve been videoing the brochures and then putting them all on eBay before something happens to them. The John Deere New Generation machines fetched insane prices which is hard to believe considering I picked them all up for free at age shows and dealerships throughout the years. Thank you for watching!

The Ferguson Black Tractor was a prototype machine, produced in 1933, not 1938 as stated in the video. The production versions of the Black Tractor, known as Ferguson/Browns or Model As, were produced for Harry Ferguson, by David Brown, of Meltham, Huddersfield, from 1936 thru 1939.

My grandaddy had a jubilee ford. He loved it, i hated it because i was used to a farmall 230. Later we realized the steering was messed up on the jubilee and thats why it took 40 acres to turn around. I never used it after they fixed that, but i like them now.

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

That would make me hate it too.

[@matthewtaylor2185]

@LedgemereHeritageFarm when you are used to the original ZTR tractor, yeah, a ford with ford brakes and mangled steering was miserable. The jubilee was a better plowing tractor and better on hills, with a little more power, but the 230 would eat its dinner at everything else because it was so nimble.
