Only 44 Built! 1949 Norseman Tractors - A Great Lesser-Known Classic

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Hi, Monte and his wife sure do have a nice set of tractors. Looks like they have a lot more too! Thanks for sharing.

Would love to see a video on that mail carrier.

I'd read different times that the mail tractor was only a concept. Looks pretty real to me.

[@matthewclina4162]

It was on a recent episode of the TV show. The builder scaled off of photographs of a concept tractor to create this one. I assume this is the same one.

Super!

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Awesome!

[@ncsmith1952]

My father had one, and another farmer in the area near Fergus, Ontario, had one as well.

Very, Very nice collection. Several shows could be done off that collection.

[@MOOBOOSE]

That couple have a fantastic collection

[@b.abrackus6403]

Seem like a wonderful couple. Very nice collection 👌

My uncle has a Norsemen model N

[@nickpalazzi2121]

If I heard Monte correctly, he said there were only 2 ns built so he's got the only other one.

1:33 I wonder what that tractor to the side of that Plymouth is, seems to be an odd design and is painted similar to an Allis chalmers

[@joeanderson9431]

They resemble Alice Chalmers

I have Norseman #446. So it would appear as if 46 were built not 44. It is possible that mine was the very last one built being it is #446. Mine is an O model. So probably 3 of the WF's were built not 2. Mine is unrestored. Non-running at this point. Hope to change that someday and get it running at least.

email addy for the collectors?? I would love some info on the red shown at 4:14

Its a Friday or Love depending on year or manufacture

@@kyletupper7391 That is why I want the owners to answer. I already knew it was a choice of the two. I worked at Fraday Tractor from 62 until 76. Variously cleaning the pool to custom lathe work.

@@kyletupper7391 Hey, Kyle, I wish I could post pics here. I have many about Friday Tractor.

[@secretagent9454]

I would think the O stands for open front or open wheel, but I’m probably incorrect.

[@kevinjohnson5214]

They sure look a lot like the allis Chalmers...

MY DAD PUT ME ON A FORD 9 N AT 6 YEARS OLD! LUCKY FIND ON THE NORSEMAN TRACTORS!! FINDING A WIFE THAT DOES NOT SAY” WHY DO YOU WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THAT JUNK??” “ PRICELESS”!!!

[@JS-1983]

Looks lot like a Massey Harris, and both brands were built in Canada, maybe Norseman was planned compete against MH... 🤔
