I think my dad's first was a Fordson, that he got sometime around when he bought his first farm in 1948. I never saw it run, and it was gone by '52, when he bought an 8N (one year old, with loader, $1,200 including several implements). He dairied on that place for 12 years, raised beef for 10 more, then sold and bought another smaller place where he lived till he died 4 years ago. The 8N was the only tractor he ever owned, other than the boat anchor Fordson.
