First tractor I drove was a old Fordson. I was probably around 6. Daddy later bought a Case S which was about 10 times the tractor the Fordson was. I have never been impressed by the Fordson. Hard to start, hard to steer, not much power, no brakes, though I understand from reading on here they had a braking system in the clutch.

Biltmore estate, Ashville, NC has a Fordson in their farm museum which I happened to see get started and driven. Hard to start then too, said magnets in flywheel were weak. Interestingly enough, Biltmore once had a fleet of Fordsons and there is a picture of one of the Vanderbilt women driving one.
