I posted the original thread becaue I couldn't believe that so many people were really bad mouthing what was state of the art in the 30's and 40's. The 3 pt. hitch is still state of the art. Nothing has came along in 70 years that is any better. Ferguson built his Black tractor in 1933 to demostrate his new hitching system. It had gears made by David Brown, a gear cutting company. Ferguson didn't have the capacity to build the tractors himself so contracted David Brown to build them. David Brown used some factory space at the gear cutting company to build the Ferguson Model A for Harry Ferguson. The tractors were based heavily on the black tractor. David Brown wanted to add improved features and Harry Ferguson complained of quality control problems. It got so bad in 1938 that Harry Ferguson went looking for another manufacturer and Henry Ford was very impressed with the Ferguson system. David Brown did build a tractor with improved features but it didn't have the Ferguson system. I wonder why they never sold? Dave
