http://tractorblogger.blogspot.com/2009/02/origins-of-modern-tractor-part-2-of-10.html
Origins of the Modern Tractor. The story of how Ford and Ferguson originated the first modern tractor. Contribution. Early tractors had steel or solid rubber tyres. Ford’s good friend Harvey Firestone (pictured with Ford and and Thomas Edison) developed the “Gum Dipped” pneumatic tractor tyre in 1932 (or should I say Tire) for him and the all-new Ford tractor. Such tyres have developed and enable today's huge and ever more powerful tractors to have a soft, gripping footprint. Http:/ www.ytmag.com/.

He saw this as a wasted opportunity and was anxious to do something about it. In 1947 the post war UK economy needed export ...

Called the NAN it was virtually a continuation of the 8N and therefore the original Ford Ferguson 9N.
