First off the 9N was made in 39-42, followed by the 2N in 42-47 and The Dearborn Motor Company did not come along till the split with Ferguson in 47 and all the equipment untill that time was Ferguson for the Fords. Ford needed a line of equipment to sell after the split so the Dearborn division was created. That tag sounds like a piece of Dearborn equipment tag (Side mounted Mower?). Wood Bros. was an independant company but sold thru Ford dealers. Later Ford bought it out and that is when they startred adding Dearborn name to the Wood Bros. Eguipment When they started using the Dearborn name is when they went to red equipment at the same time as they started puttimg red on the 8N tractors (1948-1952) and the NAA (1953-1954). In 1955 when the hundred series came out they switched the Dearborn Name away and just whent with the company name of Ford, still red. Then along about 1960? they started changing the red to blue for reasons that I have yet to hear. The English Fordsoms were from the start of WW2 blue as they were not as easily seen from the air as were the previous Orange tractors and The Grey Fordson was only made in Detroit and later Irland and when moved to England the gray was droped. Starting in 1965 tractors were no longer made in the USA but all built in England so they probablu had in place the plan when they started to switch the red to bule to drop American production.
