 Join
your hosts at American Tractor, as they scour the countrysides,
cities and junkyards for vintage Ford tractors, their parts,
pieces and assorted paraphernalia! With adventures galore,
who in their right mind wouldn't think that this is just
about the most fun on earth... that is still legal!?
American
Tractor keeps adding to its inventory. This past year welcomed
that ever elusive Ford 8N into the fold, and most recently
a 1956 Ford 650 with that wonderful yet crazy 5 speed transmission.
Do you need to know the "secret handshake" to
shift gears? Perhaps.... but that makes it all the more
special! Just think how impressive it can be when someone
comes up to you and asks, "Is that your 5 speed shifter
or are you just happy to see me?". Yes folks it DOES
pop straight up, just like 'ole Henry said it would!

1956 Ford 650
if
any tractor in this world has a soul, then this one does.
From its toothless grin, to its "wandering"
eyes... nothing resonates history more than this recently
added piece at American Tractor!

Jubilee engine completely rebuilt and ready to roll.
Lots of sandblasting and painting during the summer
of '06 and we're pretty close to rolling this baby out
the door under its own power!

Ford
2N now moved to new indoor storage facility after once
