Actually they made more 8N Fords than H's. For the most part it was the local dealer. I grew up in an area that was thick with Deere's mostly because we had a Deere dealer in town, If you wanted an IH you had to go to a nearby village (and pass another John Deere dealer to get there) If you wanted a Ferguson or an AC you had to go to the county seat, if you wanted a Ford you had to go into the nearest "Big City" or the other side of the county seat in the next county over, nearest Oliver dealer was 30+ miles, The local Case dealer was 10-15 miles the other side of the county seat not sure where there was a Moline dealer. After the J D Dealer closed many of the Full time farmers in the area started using Massey Fergusons, don't know why but they did. My wife's grand parents were a John Deere Dealer in the two cylinder era, the city they were in has a lot of Allis Chalmers, why - The AC dealer stayed in business longer but now they do Massey Fergusons, betting more MF tractors are getting sold there. My former neighbor was telling me about the town we loved in, two churches, the Lutherans had orange tractors the Catholics Green ones 'cause the Case Dealer was owned by a Lutheran, the John Deere Dealer by a Catholic. At one time that little village had two grocery stores, two hardware stores two general stores, two implement dealers.... get the point, Oh and for the most part the Lutherans lived on the East side of the River, the Catholics west of the river.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
