RECORDS of DAVID BROWN TRACTORS Accession Nos: Major RECORDS OF DAVID BROWN TRACTORS Accession nos: Major accessions: T69/26, T73/10, Catalogue mark: TR DBT T73/22; all minor accessions to Feb1996 Introduction David Brown & Sons (Huddersfield) Ltd was founded in 1860, originally producing wooden gear patterns for the textile industry. In 1936 a subsidiary of the family business in collaboration with Harry Ferguson manufactured the Ferguson-Brown Tractor, to Ferguson’s design, in the David Brown Gear Factory. This was notable as the world’s first production tractor to be equipped with hydraulic lift and 3-point linkage. In the late 1930s this association lapsed, Ferguson joining Henry Ford in the USA; David Brown continued to produce tractors, David Brown Tractors Ltd purchasing the Meltham Mills site near Huddersfield in 1939. Also in 1939 the first David Brown tractor was exhibited at the Royal Show. Production was interrupted by the Second World War, the Meltham factory becoming involved in gear manufacture; however, a small number of tractors (mainly used for aircraft-towing) and other recovery vehicles were produced. In 1955 David Brown Tractors Ltd acquired Harrison, McGregor and Guest Ltd, of Leigh, Lancashire, manufacturers of Albion farm machinery (notably mowers and binders). Production continued at the Meltham Mills and Leigh sites, farm implement production at Leigh being gradually phased out in the late 1960s and replaced by tractor component and tractor-mounted implement production. In 1972 David Brown Tractors Ltd was acquired by Tenneco Inc of Houston, Texas, and was affiliated to the Tenneco subsidiary JI Case of Racine, Texas. A new unified colour scheme of white, red and black was then adopted for Case/David Brown farm tractors in 1973. The David Brown Corporation has had subsidiaries in Northern Ireland, Eire, Australia, Canada, USA, South Africa, West Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden and Finland; in 1964 Radyne Ltd of Wokingham, manufacturers of radio frequency heating equipment, became a David Brown Company. As well as tractors and farm machinery, David Brown products have included gearing and transmission equipment, steel and bronze castings, electronic equipment, high speed naval craft, marine engines and Aston Martin and Lagonda cars.

  • History of the Ford Tractors
    History of the Ford Tractors The first experimental tractor produced by Henry Ford and his company, featured in the Henry Ford museum. This tractor was completed in 1907 under the direction of chief engineer Joseph Galamb. It's interesting to note that the name "tractor" was never applied to this machine, as the term was not widely used at this time. It was instead referred to as an "automobile plow," and, in fact, used many parts from the Ford line of cars in order to cut development and production costs. It would be nearly a decade later before production would start on the first viable commercial model, the Fordson Model F. The Ford Motor Company was founded in June, 1903. After a rocky start, the company achieved tremendous success with the launch of the famous Model T in 1908. From this year until 1927, the company would sell more than 15 million Model T cars and trucks. While Ford achieved great success in the consumer automobile market, he was the son of a farmer himself and understood the need and usefulness of applying automotive technology to the process of farming. His strong support for the tractor is evident by his experimental work beginning in 1907, but his efforts to start production were delayed by a board of directors that was well satisfied with the sales and profits from the Model T cars and weary of taking a chance on what was an unestablished industry. Despite the opposition to his plans, Ford continued development work on his tractor. He employed Eugene Farkas as his chief engineer on the project, replacing Joseph Galamb in that position, who had developed many of the earliest tractor prototypes.

  • Lesson Activities (Pdf)
    Our Innovators An Ulster-Scots Legacy Lesson Activities Let’s Plan Lesson Activities What is Heritage? Introduce the term ‘heritage’ to the pupils. What does it mean? Allow them to look the word up in a dictionary. Explain to them that ‘heritage’ refers to historical events that have a special meaning in group memory. It can refer to features of a culture such as traditions, languages or buildings which were created in the past and which still have historical importance. Working in groups, give each group a large sheet of paper and ask them to draw a spiral, which should cover the whole page. Give the groups the opportunity to draw images and write key words which they feel show their ‘heritage’ or ‘culture’. What is Ulster-Scots? Recap on the previous discussions that the children had when they were thinking about the terms ‘heritage’ and ‘culture’. Talk to them about what the Ulster-Scots heritage is and what it means for them and the area in which they live. Depending on the familiarity that the children in your class have with Ulster-Scots heritage, set the children either a research or a homework task prior to starting this topic on Ulster-Scots innovators. Ask the children to carry out a 3-2-1 activity and find out the following: 3 common Ulster-Scots words 2 typical Ulster-Scots surnames 1 other fact about Ulster-Scots KWL: I Know; I Want to Know; I’ve Learned! Create a large class KWL grid and display it where it can be seen by all of the children.

  • European Ferguson Tractors.Pub
    “We don’t understand each other!” Our British “Ferguson Cousins” By John Farnworth Writing from the UK, but being a regular visitor to shows in North America, I am acutely aware that the vast majority of Ferguson enthu- siasts on each side of the Atlantic are unaware of each others’ Fergu- son Heritage. Sometimes it as if there is total lack of information by each of what was achieved by Harry Ferguson on the other side of the Atlantic. I’ll be frank and say that the one thing that perturbs me most on my visits to North America is the lack of understanding about the “Ferguson System” tractor made by Ford – i.e. the “Ford Ferguson” as it is commonly known, or the “Ford Tractor with Ferguson System” as it was badged. There seems to be little recognition of the fact that Harry Ferguson and his team were the overall designers of the Ferguson Sys- tem within it, and the application of the Ferguson System to the trac- tor. In this respect Ferguson and his team were the conceptual design- ers with Ford indisputably the manufacturer; in this sense it is of course a Ford tractor. Indeed it used many Ford components which fitted in with Ferguson’s conceptual design including the Ford engine and Ford rear axle derived from their 1-1/2 ton truck. It is also noted that Harry Ferguson initially had to persuade Ford of the relevance and need for such a small tractor. I was pleased to be invited by your editor to present an appraisal of our British-made Fergusons, so I hope the following will be of interest to North American Ferguson enthusiasts.
