Some brochures for the Ford freaks


Recommended Posts

It seems that there is either a blue and/or red invasion going around in the literature forum so I decided to join in. Here are some pictures from a couple of nice Ford/Fordson related brochures for you.

Some 'blue' bits for collectors with blue blood (Stehos, Fordcrazy, StapelopFordson)!

-American Ford tricycle tractors.

-American Ford 2000, 4000, 5000 and 6000.

-Moffett (Dutch)

-Lot newer but interesting. NH series S. (40 series). Only sold in Italy?

(more will folow).

Hi Niels,

thanks for sharing these nice brochures with us  ;D . I think the Italian S series is interesting.

@Ronald, you are right about the size of the brochure. It is a lot smaller than US letter, actually it is 136x214mm which is half US letter 8) . Print# AD-8689 862150, so from august 1962.

Keep them coming, Niels!

Ronald: These brochures were already in the folders like that with punchholes sadly  :( . It is a dreadful thing to do!

Here are some more:

-Ford Commander 6000 in not to good shape but still nice.

-One for the Dutch boys. Ford 530 baler with a sticker on the back from dealer Voets. Repainted New Holland?

-One of my all time favourites. Ford 642/622  8) . One is a Claas Dominator, the other (622) probably a Protector or something?

-The big 'uns; 8000 and 9000 American brochure.

-Ford 7400 100hp. Build by EVA? Brochure does have a picture of a 4wd model in it as well.

-County/Ford/EVA 8100. Lovely model I think.

-And the predecessor. Ford 8200.

-Ford Blue Power Specials. Anyone knows what this is about? Its some sort of special edition. I thought the T7070 was the first 'Blue Power' but clearly not!

Wow.. 8) why stop here.. there are quite a few gems in there. I am not sure if the 530 baler was actually a rebadged model as Ford has been making balers since the 50's and this is one of the last Ford badged one's. The 622 combine i believe is also a dominator with a bit smaller capacity ...

First time i come accross a Jewelltrac brochure.. Should have atleast one in the collection..time to search  ;)

Wil: I have photographed some more. Will see if I can put some more on here soon.

Justin: Your welcome to have a look round here. Just let me know  ::)

Rory: Thanks. I'll have to try and a find a brochure that you haven't got!  ;)

If there's any requests from forum members that want to see a particular brochure let me know and I'll see if its in the collection.

Am I right saying these were never sold outside Italy? If you can find secondhands its usually in Italy.

Here's some more brochures, mainly old and very old stuff:

-Very interesting little book about the Fordson tractor. First page reads: Being a few tributes to the strong practical merits of the Fordson Tractor, freely and voluntarily given by those who speak from personal experience, and experience, you know, is the school of wisdom. First Edition, October 1, 1920

-Another old Fordson Model N brochure this time. Folds up like a postcard but is American A4. Pencil scribbling on it but does give some nice calculation about costs!

-Same brochure but then folded out.

-American Ford tractors again.

Shame it's not in the best shape.  :( Have you ever seen those Fordson books for sale? What do you think they are worth?

It is indeed a rare brochure, which doesn't come often for sale. What it's worth, what does a collector want to pay..... ;)

Here's one I have on the Ford 7000, in Dutch. No doubt there's more.

There are more, the brochure of Niels below is the most common one with different titles on the front page. In the attachments some more 7000 brochures from Europe, USA and Australia / New Zealand. Are there any more? please let us know!

If you mean the 76 page fordson at work booklet, it comes for sale now and then and sells most of the time for around 20-25 dollars on us ebay.

The Dutch E27N brochure is like finding a needle in a haystack and is like Ronald says, just what the collector is willing to pay for it..
