Hi Majorman
Thought you were showing pictures from Australia. The falcon was a locally produced Ford motor car with a straight six engine or some models had 8 cylinders. My neighbour had an 8401. With the link SV put in the Gason manufacturing company made lots of tractor cabs for different brands. Had a Ford 7700 with a Gason cab, was the first cab tractor we had so I thought it was pretty good. Gason now make tillage and seeding gear and wood heaters that are sold under different names. Tractors and all vehicles are now fully imported to Australia. Thanks for sharing

Got a History of the Company written by the owner. He was an interesting, religious man who made a lot of iron work decorations for the town of Ballarat.

My wife and I love Australia but age stops us from further visits. We are members of the Fordson Club of Australia and have many good friends out there. I fell in love with the 8401 when I saw pictures in the English Farming press and my friends arrange for me to visit and drive this one in 2011. They have organised a visit to at least one when we visited each time.
I met and talked with the designer on a couple of occasions and also the service representative. One of my friends also owned the company that sold the most 8401's in Australia.
