The Ferguson system was around in 33, yes, in Europe. But the Ferguson didn't hit the US market until either 39 or 40, in the midst of the largest depression the world had seen. Then WW2 got in the way of production. It wasn't until well after WW2 that the sales really took off. Until that period a Ferguson 3pt was a completely proprietary system as far as implements went. But go back through the old farm magazines of the era and you'll see many companies produced kits to attach their implements to Ford, JD, Case, IHC, MM, Ollie, Cat, Cletrac, etc. Go back and look at pricing and more importantly FINANCING and see why people bought the Fords. You couldn't afford help during and just after the war, banks weren't like they are now with "easy credit" back then. But you could walk into a Ford dealership and leave with a tractor and full range of implements, all financed by Henry at low interest. That made an enormous difference. The old papers and magazines of the day advertised just that. Some places even took horses in on trade, which of course went to the kill. What a system!
