I found a great magazine yesterday at Tractor Supply called "Tractor" from heritage to modern tractors
Pete Kelly is the editor of this magazine, not sure if he post here or not but I am going to email him and let him know that I really enjoyed the magazine. Alot of Fordson's in there!
Do not believe everything you read in that mag! I have taken it from the first edition and love the stories, but, once again the people who write about Majors and Dextas have a very limited knowledge.
If you want a really good read with knowledgeable information on a wide variety of issues try "Classic Tractor". They talk to the people who were involved in building and testing a wide range of tractors. There has been an excellent series on County Tractors written by one of the demonstration team and a series of articles on Ford Tractors by Davis Pearson who was a territory manager and head of training at Boreham House.
PS. This is not an advert and is solely my opinion.
Fordson Tractor Pages, now officially linked to: Fordson Tractor Club of Australia, Ford and Fordson Association and Blue Force.

Larry in Cherryville, I live in Denver. We lost a real longtime Fordson lover not long ago. He owned 5 when he passed away. He claimed to have raised 5 girls running sawmills with the Majors.
He said the diesel for the Major was cheaper than his cigars.
He had one old tricycle. I don't know who got them when he died.
His brother was B.R. Lee of Lee Boy Paving Equipment.
