Hey, I love that drill press attachment. By far, my favorite. I also love the cordwood saw, flat belt driven post hole digger, and belly mounted sickel bar mower. Be advised that there were not 100 different types of implements, just a limited number of categories with variations on the implements. Like a "Pitsburg frame" cultivator, 7-shank/9-shank/rigid/spring loaded cultivators, at least 4 different kinds of sickle bar mowers, 3 different cordwood saws, I think the drawbar is considered an attachement, lister planters, trailers, carry all box, who knows how many different plows and blades, so you see many of them were just variations on the standard implements.

I have never heard the "100 implements" line before, but it may even include items ford didn't even make but could be used with the tractor, such as corn pickers, corn shellars (flat belt driven), small threshers, and small mills. Man, these things are great!

Virtually all accessories and implemements were NOT manufactured by Ford but by other companies. One of Ford's main mistakes is that they could have easily designed and sold implements for their own very successful tractors (and made a buncha $ doing it). Old Henry's love for farming and quest for the perfect low cost reliable tractor clouded his reason.

This narrow thinking was also reflected in his automobile. He basically gave away a clear lead over rival GM because he refused for many years to sell anything but a 4 cylinder car and only in black. He literally thought 6 cylinder engines were in some way evil and 8 cylinders were just people's vanity. Sons Henry and Edsel and the fact that Ford was losing so much ground finally convinced Henry to develop the famous '33 8 cylinder engine that was so appreciated by the likes of Bonnye and Clyde, Dillinger, etc.
