I need to know what a 1921 fordson looked like. I am trying to buy a restored one and I am not sure if it is completely correct. Does anyone have a photo or a catalog picture or a website? Thank you in advance!

There were also many random internet pics and videos, not sure if specific to 1921.

You should be able to buy a Fordson Photo Archive 1917-1928 for about $10 second hand.
So many of these tractors were sold, it's still possible to find a true original, but,
over the years many tractors were fitted with aftermarket modifications and were repaired
with parts "that worked". The tractor design was pretty well settled by 1921. Parts
that usually have damage may include gas tanks, carbs, radiator. They may or may not have
had fenders. As with much of Ford stuff, future models had parts that would fit back to
the older models. The last Fordson using the same engine was built in 1952 (E27N) and factory
rebuilt engines were available a short while afterwards. Gas tanks and radiators from 1945
on back will fit, but are slightly different. Same with wheels and fenders.
The Fordson experts are getting scarce, but if you can find one, take him with you. You
shouldn't have to pay too much to buy one. A set of aftermarket wheels with rubber tires would
be nice. You could use it on roads and in parades. Stewart Gibbard's book would be worth
studying.

I wonder if this would have independent brakes ( one for each side) or if it had the 2-stage Clutch/Brake ..??

The latter made plowing in wet conditions about impossible...the left wheel would run 20 miles, while the Rt one would only travel the length of the field..!!
