Hello,
I have a book entitled "Ford Tractor Implements" which agrees with the other posts and lists numerous makers of implements for Ford and Ferguson. It is good reading and available at the on-line booksellers and was pretty inexpensive.

Not quite. Ford marketed them, but did not necessarily build them. I.E.-we have a Dearborn cultivator that also has a Pittsburg tag on it. Pittsburg made some other Dearborn tillage implements as well. Taylor-Way made one of the disc plows. Wood Bros. made Dearborn pull-type corn pickers and pull-type combines. Detroit Harvester made some Dearborn sickle mowers and possibly the pto rake. Danuser made the post hole digger and one of the back blades (the one that could be adjusted by lever from the tractor seat). Not sure, but front loader may have been made by Sauder. Some of this equipment was made exclusively to Ford designs and only sold through Dearborn, some of it was available under the original manufacturer's name as well as through Dearborn.

The Burch company made a lot of Fords disks. Pittsburgh made some for Ford too. Many larger Ford implements of the 60's and 70's (some 4,5,6,+ bottom plows, 14+' and wing disks etc.) were made by Oliver or White.

I have read in several of my tractor books, about the famous handshake deal between Henry Ford and Harry Furgeson concerning the manufacture of the N series. The jist I get is that Ford would make the tractor and Furgeson would make the implements and both would be marketed by Ford dealers. If the implements for the N were made by all and sundry, no wonder the two tycoons got into an argument and lawsuit. Furgeson was getting cheated on the deal. Interesting.

Ford made the tractor and some of the plows as ferguson did not have the implements ready for sale in time. The handshake deal was voided by Henry II as he found out Ford was losing money on the deal. Ferguson was making all the money on both the buying at a fixed price and selling to his wholesalers making money who distributed the tractors to Ferguson's dealer network. When Henry II tried to change the deal Harry refused as he would make less money, so Henry II told him that as of July 1,1947,the handshake deal would end. I think I saw where he was already having the new design in the works which became the 8N and started being sold as of 7/1/47.
Hope this info helps. The book mentioned above on the implements is a wonderful source of information on many of the implements designed and sold for the N series tractors.
