Had the TV going in the background this morning, one of the Cmax channels. There was an old movie made in 1950 called "Summer Stock". They had an 8N in the picture that had the words "Earthmover" in script writing where the word "Ford" usualy is. Is this something that Ford actualy made in production or was it somthing put on for the picture set. The front badge also had "Earthmover" on it. Either way it sure was a nice looking tractor all shined up and new.

Thanks
Curious George

There was a fine line between endorsement and licensing and promotion. It may have been perceived to be a Ford promotion if Judy Garland was seen driving a Ford tractor. Hence the Earthmover tractor. That tractor(if it still exists) would have some collector value, IF the Earthmover tags were extant.

Never saw that movie, but N tractors do have a way of showing up in commercials and movies. One of my favorite 8N scenes is from the "Flim Flam Man", involves a very nice original looking 8N pulling a wagon load of watermelons that gets involved in a chase scene crash! Brief but good shots, full color too.

It was made up for the movie. Check the archives, you might enjoy reading some of the stuff about that movie and others with N's.
