Henry Ford began developing an affordable tractor about the time you mention. Production didn't start until 1916. Because someone else had registered the name "Ford Tractor Company", Henry was forced to use another name. He chose "Fordson" and created a new company, "Henry Ford & Sons" to manufactur and distribute it. In about 1928 Ford quit making Fordsons in the U.S. but continued in Europe. Do you have a serial number or any other indentifying features of the tractor you are looking for? A request like that would seem to bear more fruit if you made local inquiries about what happened to the tractor. The chance of anyone here being familiar with the late honorable Mr. Spenst or your late father are kind of remote. Do you know when or where the tractor was sold when Mr Spenst divested himself of it? Was it auctioned off when he passed away? Start with the auction house that conducted the sale and see if they have any records. Since tractors are usually not registered or titled (in most states) tracking one down after a few years is very difficult. If you know anything about it's sale history try to contact a past buyer, seller or auctioneer and see if they have anything showing a serial number. That will give you at least a start. Sorry I can't help any further. The picture below is of a 1919 Fordson Model F that I lifted from the Photo gallery on this site. IT IS NOT THE EXACT TRACTOR YOU ARE LOOKING FOR (I don't think), but will give you an idea what a Fordson from that era looks like.

They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
