FordTractorCrazy Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 for the Versatile tractors it is probably the second brochure, a D100 came before this series. Some Ford construction equipment: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stehos Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi Wil, some nice finds you posted here. Can you show us what the test report on the Doe is about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 the Doe test result report is about a test performed on 3 Doe "Triple D" tractors that were intensily followed on 3 test locations with different ground types and equipment hooked to it. They followed them for over 2000 hours and kept an eye on performance, maintenance and technical prestations. today i received a whole bunch of mainly 1950's USA Ford equipment brochures Ford 6-foot combine (1955) Ford Hay Balers - 250-series (1955) Ford Wheel Type Disc Harrows (1957) Ford Front & Rear Blades (1958) Ford Field Cultivator - series 117 (1958) Ford 1-row pull-type Corn Harvester (1958) Ford Side Mounted Mowers (1956) Ford Danuser All Purpose Blade (1949) Ford 2-row Covington Planter (1954) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 and more brochures arrived. This time all US AD-coded brochures about the Ford Rotary Cutter(s). With these and the previous AD-coded brochures and the ones i already have, i am getting more convinced that there are atleast 4000 AD-coded Ford brochures out there! This code has been used from 1947 up to 1987 and some years suggest that there were atleast 200 brochures that year, but an average of 100 is more likely i think..

stapelopfordson Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Now you have the Rotary Cutters series complete I think , nice haul! The AD codes weren't only used for brochures but also for specification sheets (or is that a brochure though) and post cards and maybe some other items...

FordTractorCrazy Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Probably not Ronald i have about 18 in my collection dating 1956 up to 1987 but doubtless i am still missing a few... Spec Sheets seem not to have been issued with the brochures in America like in Europe. For example the 10-series brochures all had specsheets with the same code as the brochures in the UK and in the Netherlands (and probably more european countries), That is not the case with brochures/spec sheets in America though. some more brochures have arrived Roadless 98K Ninety-Five - 100 (based on the Ford 5000) a rare brochure of a rebadged model. Fiat 44-28 made by Versatile! The Versatile 875 originally. and here is one you dont see very often. Am thinking this was produced only for the American market and was launched around the same time as the *600-series in 1976, around 1980 this tractor already disappeared from the catalogs and was likely replaced by the ford 1000-series(as the americans called it) iow : 1100,1200,1500,1700.

Niels Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That Fiat 44-28 spec sheet isn't really rare? Plenty about on Ebay usually not sold for to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 it's the first time i came accross one.. maybe the versatile name is not used in the auction then?? I am looking to complete the series of these, so 3 more to find... guess i should start searching with a different search term.. fiat 44?

stapelopfordson Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 a year ago I had all 4 of them in dutch..... Next time I will think about you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapelopfordson Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Here the picture, something to look for. They are indeed offered once in a while on Ebay, but not in dutch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 good to know they are offered on a regular basis, i have thus far never come accross these, but apparently that has to do with never using the Fiat name in my searches @ Ronald: Too bad you got rid of the Dutch versions, hope i'll be able to add them at some point to the collection that is expanding in all directions lately with Muir-Hill,Ninety-Five & Roadless brochures that i didnt collect at first.. There are still a lot of brochures on their way to me, some held up for a couple of months at some friends place, some recently swapped and expecting to arrive soon. I should be getting around 150 brochures in the coming month or so, so hope to show them on here when i have been able to scan them now you have to do with my latest additions/arrivals all from Turkey, the T480 is a really strange modelnumber that i havent been able to place at a specific T*-series yet..

Lord Ferguson Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Nice collection Wil... I still have that brochure for you at home here in the UK.... contaminating my MF collection as we speak Plus I have one more gift for you... but it's still a secret... can you wait until Zwolle now I've never been good at making it to the post box Now.... do you (or any of my other brochure nutters buddies) know of any specialist shows in France for brochure collectiors like us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 although reluctantly i can wait till Zwolle, no problem! One very interesting brochure in your collection then.. lovely blue as well I might have some interesting MF brochures for you at Zwolle as well.. just received the papers for booking a table or two at the show my best guess is that you just missed the best possibility for a show in France that has plenty of brochures to offer. the Chartres show is by my knowledge the biggest show in France where you can trade the older brochures. This show is normally around the beginning of June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
