IRBY J. RICO JR. wrote on Friday, June 23, 2006 (PDT):I love reading the history of how today's tractors got it's start. How someone's ideas can be developed and made better over time. I could just imagine what the ideas of today will be made better in another one hundred years. Thanks, I.R.
ron wrote on Wednesday, August 15, 2007 (PDT):I have more info on this, but if i printed it i woud be sued. While Harry was a smart man, he would have done much better with some people skills. I have speoken to the 9n factory people, and they have no kind words for Harry.

ron wrote on Thursday, August 14, 2008 (PDT):Harry F was a busy boy. He copied the Wright Brothers,The Fordson,and the Ford 9N. He did not support the TO-35, which turned out to be the best tractor of the 20th century. The 9n, and its clone,(the te 20) were engineeered 99% by Ford engineers, in the great depression. While Harry invented the 3 point concept, only Ford could make it work extremly well. Henry Ford was a benevolent, yet rich man, But it was his laboratories and ethics that made modern cheap tractors possible. The lawsuit was the biggest in history, even if most of the 9n8n/ferg technolgoy was Fords. Harry mmade a lot of human error in his failed dealings with people. The model T, model A, and the Ford N series, were very good luck for all of us. I thank you guys.
Tim Daley wrote on Monday, September 15, 2014 (PDT):There are a couple of errors in this article which appears slanted towards Harry Ferguson. First, Edsel Ford is spelled with an 's' not a 'z'. Secondly, the three piece, adjustable tread front axle was not a Ferguson design, rather it was the Ford engineers who designed it. Next, the termination of Harry Ferguson from the 'handshake agreement' he made with Henry II's grandfather, was due to Ford losing money on 9N sales while Ferguson profited and, because Ferguson was shopping around Ford suppliers as early as 1942 to help him build his own tractor with blueprints he had for the 9N. Archie Greer and Willie Sands were the actual engineers of the 3-point lift system, Ferguson simply put the copyright patents in his name.

It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
