The FORDSON TRACTOR WI Do for the Farmer What Automatic Machinery Has Done for the Manufacturer Does the Work of 8 Horses or Mules and 3 Men, and Is the Biggest Factor in Conservation of Man-Pow-er on the Farm The "FORDSON" Tractor is the result of extensive trials and experiments conducted by Mr. Henry Ford, covering a period of many years. Before placing the tractor on the market, every detail has been thoroughly tried out under actual farming conditions in various parts of this country and abroad. Being small, light and economical, the "FORDSON" Tractor is adapted for use on small farms, as well as on largest. It will pull all farm implements and do the work generally done by horses on the farm. In addition, by its belt pulley the tractor will drive farm machinery, such as thresher, ensilage cutter, saw- mill, etc.,jnaking the "FORDSON" a truly universal tractor. In design and construction the "FORDSON" takes a long step in approaching the ideal tractor. The simplicity of its operation and construction will at once appeal to the farmer. Several devices were perfected to keep out dust and dirt. All moving parts are enclosed and thoroughly lubricated. The number of lubricating points requiring attention are very few and easily gotten at. The motor, transmission and rear axle are assembled together, forming one rigid unit, which, combined with the three-poi- nt suspension, relieves these parts of all strain. The absence of any frame gives accessibility to all parts for making adjustments or repairs, and allows the tractor to be taken apart in a few minutes. The motor is substantially designed and is capable of delivering its full power continuously. It embodies features which have been used with success in other fields for many years.
