Fordson in a Field of flowers.

John Harmon · Jan 16, 2010

Here we have a Photo of what appears to me to be an old Fordson in a Sea of Flowers ,sporting an American flag on some occasion. What got my attention was ,first the odd rear Steel Wheels with no solid surface inside the rims with cleats. Must have been used where sinking into the earth was not a problem. And then, the wide front which shows the right side of the axle projects more to the right side than the left side Axle projects to the left. I have never seen this before,have you?

Those are what I have heard called a sand wheel. And for that front axle I have seen on a fordson a single disk on a disk type plow that mounted between the front and rear axles and to get it for the front wheel to run in the previous furrow and the rear wheel to run in the furrow you just made you had to set that front wheel out. The Allis G tractors when using a plow either moldboard or disk have to be set up like that.
