Overview

The Fordson F tractor is a historically significant tractor often recognized for its role in modernizing agriculture during the early part of the 20th century. This model, equipped with a powerful 4.1L 4-cylinder distillate engine, was known for its simplicity and functionality on small farms. Offering a power output of 20 horsepower and running at a rated 1000 RPM, it was considered robust for its time. The tractor uses a constant mesh gear transmission with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse, offering just enough variability for various tasks. With a notably heavy operating weight of 2920 lbs, the Fordson F sits on a 63-inch wheelbase, is 102 inches in length, 63 inches wide, and 55 inches in height. Its large steel rear wheels measure 12 inches wide, supporting the tractor's heavy-duty functions. Notably, this tractor presents a significant piece of farming heritage and remains an example of early tractor engineering.
