Fordson N Standard-Tread Tractor

The Fordson N is a classic agricultural tractor produced between 1929 and 1945 by Fordson, a division of Ford. Designed as a standard-tread machine, it represents a significant era in the mechanization of farming, manufactured in both Dagenham, England, and Cork, Ireland.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 4.4-liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine, liquid-cooled to maintain operating temperatures. It produces 26 horsepower (19.4 kW) at a rated speed of 1100 RPM. The fuel system utilizes a Zenith IN5F carburetor, and the engine features a firing order of 1-2-4-3. As was standard for the period, the engine is started via a hand-crank mechanism.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Fordson N utilizes a gear-type transmission providing 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. It is configured as a two-wheel-drive vehicle, managed through a manual steering system. This drivetrain configuration provides the basic mobility required for field operations of its time.

Dimensions and Construction

The tractor has a wheelbase of 63 inches (160 cm) and an overall weight of 3600 lbs (1632 kg). It measures 102 inches (259 cm) in length and 63 inches (160 cm) in width. The operator interface consists of an open station. The unit is equipped with 42x12 steel rear wheels, which were common for agricultural traction requirements of the era.

Electrical System

The electrical system of the Fordson N is characterized by a Bosch magneto, which provides the necessary ignition spark for the gasoline engine, ensuring reliable operation without the need for a complex battery-based charging system.

Conclusion

"The Fordson N is a historically significant tractor that provided essential mechanical power to farmers during the early 20th century. Its simple, robust construction makes it a notable subject for vintage machinery enthusiasts and collectors interested in the evolution of Fordson agricultural equipment."
