[AT] Ford 1520

James,

That is why I suggested there may be a European Bias. The article was discussing the handshake agreement between Henry and Harry. Those tractors made and sold in the US were called Fords.  The tractors sold in Europe probably were called Fergusons.

Those experts were right. The 9Ns were manufactured by Ford but sold by Ferguson. They had a Ferguson logo on them as well. The modern term might be “joint venture”.

If we can call a tractor designed and built by Shibaura a Ford or a New Holland, then we can call a tractor partially designed and sold by Ferguson a Ferguson.
