stapelopfordson Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 These nice brochures entered my collection this week. Roadless Supercab from the 70's and a swedish brochure on the 1000 series (preforce). Hello Jack, nice brochures. The headlights of the swedisch 1000 series seem to be on a weird place, were these really positioned like this picture in Sweden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 the nice thing of having the brochures scanned is that it takes just little time to resize them and put them on here so a few more then... - 3 single sheet Ford Tractor implements brochures dating 1947 - select-o-speed gearshifting brochure (1960) and strangely of the 40-ish brochures of late, only 5 came my way by bidding on ebay, a lot from a fellow i got in contact with through ebay though, then some Spalding buys (about 10 or so) and a dozen from a trade with another dutch collector of brochures...

Lord Ferguson Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Lovely items Wil ... so what was select-o-speed... is it a kind of multi-power device mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Something like that Mark, only you could go down the hill without fearing of lack of engine braking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Lovely items Wil ... so what was select-o-speed... is it a kind of multi-power device mate the select-o-speed was used firstly on the 601/701/801/901 American Fords and later also available on the early Ford 1000-series. it is a type of tractor transmission , sort of "shift on-the-go to any speed" without clutching. Hydraulic Power does the actual shifting and it is especially handy when you need more pulling power and have to shift down in gears where you would normally stop, this makes sure the tractor keeps moving... But it came with some problems and was discontinued somewhere in the '70's i think Nice, your brochure collection is growing very well lately, isn't it? Can't wait to see your expected rare brochures, can you tell something more what we can expect My brochure collection is growing more rapidly then i thought it would. but this was a chance to obtain many brochures at once which i couldnt let pass. As for what i am expecting; no problem, it is quite a list - Versatile 895 (1980-84) - Cummins engines for Versatile tractors (2 different ones) - Ford Construction Buyers Guide 1984-85 - Ford Backhoe brochures (4500, 555, 7500) - Ford Compact Loaders (Skidsteer, multiple versions) - Ford 4 seasons brochure - Ford silver band brochures (various) - Ford Lawn & Garden tractors (quite a few variations) - Sperry-New Holland Buyers Guides (6) - Sperry-New Holland equipment brochures from late '60's (5) - Sperry-New Holland skid steer brochures (2, never knew that Sperry NH already made skid steer prior to the Ford takeover) - Ford truck mounted backhoe - Ford presents County 4-wheel drive tractors - Sperry-New Holland combine brochures (late 1970's) and more, bit more regular stuff and some duplicates i think.

Tractorman810 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 some nice additions there wil, whats a ford mustang 5610 then??? some special edition or the us version?? never heard them being called that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 thanks Sean & JDeere6910. the Ford Mustang 5610 is a Swedish brochure, i have no idea why they called it a "Mustang" as i thought that was a car and not a tractor. But my Swedish is not good enough to translate the brochure contents... By the looks of it however it seems to be just the regular Ford Force II 5610...

stapelopfordson Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Today this rare (I have never seen it before...) Roadless brochure came in.

FordTractorCrazy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 very nice brochure Ronald. cant say i saw that ever before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ronald: very nice brochure of the Roadless Major. I did not see it before, maybe some of the UK members might have seen it before. @Wil, there's also a french Mustang brochure and I also have another swedish one. I will try to locate them and put them up here. @Ronald, find below some pictures of the inside of the swedish 1000 series brochure. Here you can see the postion of the headlights. Also on the french version of this brochure the headlights are postioned like this. Also strange is the position of the front wheels.

rorsday Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 That's a very nice brochure on the Manuel-Roadless Fordson Major, Staplopfordson. There were a number of variations of this, but I am sure you have any early one. I have a couple that are very similar in my collection. The Mustang was produced for the French market, I saw one at Cheffins sale a few years ago. R Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Ford Mustangs were force 1 10 series with LP and AP cabs from feb 1985 for the French market, fixed spec I think and special decals, here's one for sale on Agriaffaires at the moment: http://www.agriaffaires.co.uk/used/farm-tractor/1225938/ford-mustang-5610.html Does anyone have more info on the Ford combines in red?

FordTractorCrazy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 hello eurodeere, i take it, you meant the self-propelled Ford combines? as i have quite a few Ford combine brochures of which many are of the pull-type versions. but two self-propelled brochures, both about the Ford combine series 611, dating 1960 and 1961. have added a scan of the specifications for this combine. some other info is also available of you want. It was advertised as - Ford 6-cylinder(78 hp) engine, 4-speed transmission plus variable drive, hydraulic header lift (10 and 12 foot headers available), open grate concave, extra long straw walkers, 45-bushel grain tank. just let me know. i can send you a complete scan of the brochures..

Just found this brochure. In France the Mustang was based on the first 10 series tractors with bubble cab. The following tractors were available: 4110 with safety frame, 4610 2wd or 4wd with safety frame or cab, 5610 2wd or 4wd with safety frame or cab, 7610 4wd with cab and 7710 4wd. These tractor were available (according the brochure) until the end of june 1985. And now the question for today: what is wrong about this brochure . Nothing to win, but it is easter now and nice weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my Swedish is not good enough to translate the brochure contents... By the looks of it however it seems to be just the regular Ford Force II 5610... Found this slightly earlier version of the swedish Mustang brochure (plain Ford instead of Ford New Holland). In contrary to the french Mustang tractors based on the first 10 series with bubble cab, these tractors were based on the Force 2 with SQ cab. Apart from the picture on full colour, the only thing I can see that differs between them is the air intake on the front and the other style of front rims. Position of the rear rims has changed also, which means a new picture was taken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hello Jack, thanks for clearing that up.. I see i have a few more to collect/find... it seems the first (Force I) brochure has a TW bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 You won Wil , but no prize to win as said before. Further when compared to the (very) rusty tractor on agriaffaires no mention of Mustang on the tractor itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 These brochures arrived last week, so now some more gaps are filled . Both are dutch and were long on my wishlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
