stapelopfordson Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Especially for the dutch collectors a code variation of a Ford 5000 brochure, this one is of 1971, with SOS as an option. I already had the 1975 version with Dual Power option. (NL 02/75) Dutch Ford 5000 tractor brochure (3/71) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapelopfordson Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 I had some questions about the EVA company and their custom Ford conversions. In the latest issue of the Dutch classic tractor magazine "Pionier" of the classic tractor association "OMTV" was a very nice article of these interesting conversions. So I translated in english, I think this will give a few answers. First the translation followed by two scans of the original article. EVA, Belgian Ford custom specialist Andenne, Belgium, was the village where Evrard Véhicules Andenne, shortly EVA, importer of Ford industrial engines and Ford tractors was settled. In 1965 started EVA to build custom Ford tractors. To get more engine power the Ford 5000 (model 6X) tractors were fitted with the 6 cylinder 90hp Ford 2703 engine or the 100 hp 2704E Dorset (industrial) engine. They were sold as Ford Super Power by Ford dealers in Belgium, France and The Netherlands. In Germany it was badged as the Ford 9500 (In The Netherlands was also a 9500, but that was a Nedalo product). A self-supporting tractor couldn’t be fitted with an industrial engine without any adjustments in the frame, because the industrial engine can’t be used as a part of the self-supporting frame. The man behind EVA, Willie Evrard found however a solution, he developed and build a cast iron support frame for the engines, it looked like the engine was resting in a bath tub. Evrard also managed to sell these support frames to other Ford custom builders, like Ernest Doe (known of the “double†Ford tractors) and J.J. Thomas. Ford Germany even published a photo of the support frame in their 9500 brochure, with the text “fully closed reinforcement of the engine pan with good distribution of the push / pull ratios, low centre of gravityâ€. At the attached detailed photos of a model 5095 is shown how the engine rests in the support frame and how the support frame is attached to the other part of the tractor. When Ford launched the Force series in 1968, also known as model 6Y, EVA based their 6 cylinder industrial engine conversions also on these models. The 2704E engine was again attached to the Ford 5000 frame with the trusted support frame. The model was changed into Ford 6500 and were also sold by the normal Ford tractor dealers. In Germany there was also sold a 6500S, which was fitted with a Schindler 4wd front axle and a Clepa cabin. The next models were the 5095 with 95 hp, based on the Ford 5000 and the 7095 with 112 hp engine, based on the Ford 7000, later based on the Ford 7600 (a base which also is being used by Bakker Ulrum, dutch dealer, how produced a model 1186). Model 5095 is, based on the Ford “7A†series, also known as Ford 7100. The 7095 was followed up by the Ford 7400, still based on the 7600, fitted with the industrial Ford type 2714E and the known support frame. A complete other model Ford tractor where EVA was involved, is the Ford 8100. This model is based on the Ford 6700 from the “700†series. EVA developed the conversion of the 8100, however they didn’t build the tractors. The production was done by County, known of the tractors with four equal wheels. In France and Switzerland the 8100 was fitted with the Ford 2714E engine, in the United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Sweden the stronger 105 hp 2715E engine was fitted. The 8100 wasn’t sold as new in The Netherlands. Instead of the cast iron support frame for this model a steel plate was used to support the engine. Another specialty was the rotated front axle, so the wheelbase was equal to the Ford 6700. The introduction took place in July 1978 and the success was limited. The 8100 was the last EVA design, in the early eighties the company stopped. This article is written with friendly cooperation of Marc Geerkens of Happy Old Iron from Meeuwen (Belgium), thanks a lot Marc. Peter Rutjes.

Lord Ferguson Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 What a superb bunch of additions you've made in my absence Jack... your collection is simply the best I'm sure.. what I love about this hobby is that it's never ending really.. there is always something to be on the look out for.

Niels Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ronald: I have read the article as well, which is very interesting. The only thing I am struggeling with is that it says the 8100 was developed by EVA? It doesn't match any other stories I have read about the tractor. Mark, are you back for real or was it a one off? If so, welcome back sir Fergie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stapelopfordson Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I can't understand there are actually still brochures that you haven't got! I'm glad at least I don't collect vintage brochures. Nice additions again. Very jealous at some of them. To be honest, the list with brochures that I'm still missing is grower faster than my collection . I weekly see 'new' brochures... Normally I don't collect implement brochures, only exception are the Fordson Major E27N brochures.These two paged brochures were printed with a colourful band at the back. All these brochures are in bundled in a special folder: I thought the folder was complete, but no it isn't. I found a 'new' brochure about the 'Stanhay Hoist'.

Niels Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I know the feeling Ronald! Sometimes it's only minor changes but then you just have to have them. Especially if you already own the rest of the line up. I only collect (buy) European brochures but with all the overseas markets it's a lot more difficult of course.
