[AT] Ford 1520

[deanvp at att.net]

I agree farmer.  Peter has done a huge amount of work on his site.  With the huge amount of different tractors that are included. errors are bound to creep in. I’ve run into several but….most of the time it is a good resource. He has got to be entering data into his database on tractors he has no personal experience with and is totally dependent on the source’s accuracy.  And then of course typo’s sneak in.   It is another web resource that is good but cannot be used as being 100% accurate.  Even the “experts” make errors such as the tractors sold in the US by Ford with the Ferguson System starting in 1939 were called “Fergusons”.  Depends if you have a European bias or not I guess.

Tractor Data is a decent resource but don't bet the farm on its accuracy...

The listing for the Ford 1920 lists it being followed by the New Holland 1920.  The listing for the New Holland 1920 says it has the same specification as the Ford 1920. In either case the end of production is 2000. If the Ford/New Holland 1920 was replaced by another tractor, TractorData does not show it.

The listing for the Ford 1520 does not show it being replaced by a New Holland 1520.  If TractorData is accurate, we will not find any New Holland 1520s in existence.

Looks like 2000 was the end of Shibaura making tractors for Ford or New Holland.

[ Stephen Offiler] Yes, they did sell under the New Holland name.  Link below shows a 1920 (my tractor's bigger brother) labeled "New Holland"
