Are you refering to the "infamous Ford" and not the one built by the Ford Motor Company and henry ford? The tractor single handedly responsible for the "Nebraska" tractor tests was the The "Infamous Ford" and it was so unreliable and failed to live up to it's advertising so badly that a legislator in Nebraska who bought one saw to the passage of legislation requiring that any tractor sold in the State of Nebraska HAD to be tested at the University of Nebrasaka, in Lincoln (Cornhuskers) before it could be sold. Those tractors are indeed scarce and few! If it is one of those, it may take some searching and i suspect a great deal of cash. Good luck! The OTHER Ford tractor, the one built and sold by Henry Ford, was called the FORDSON, and came out around 1919!

The first tractor tested under the then new Nebraska law was the 1917 Waterloo Boy, so your 1912ish tractor will likely be an "Infamous Ford" rather than the slightly later "Fordson", I would think.
