This Ford tractor is the third to follow its nose straight down the shaft of this Missouri lead mine. At the bottom, a tenth of a mile underground, it will begin working 16 hours a day in tire sucking muck and 98% humidity. It will hustle tools and repair parts to carryalls, high lifts and other vital machinery. It will provide quick, maneuverable transport for foreman. And it will stay there – serviced by the mine’s welding and maintenance shop – for all the years of its work life. Mining is not a primary market for Ford tractors. Scores of other industries have far greater uses for Ford tractors and their matching loaders, backhoes and other equipment. But few industries demand more of a tractor. It’s gratifying that this company too replace its Fords with Fords. Is tractor dependability important in your business?
