All the tractors seem to be Industrials or golf course models. Maybe the far ones are Ag models. Its hard to tell.
The second one has a horn and appears to be registered.
Interesting pic.

Except for a few factory shots with many lines of tractors, I cannot recall any early photo showing so many Fordson tractors all in one place. Wonderful! I wish I could have any one of them. I like the ones with industrial wheels. They would be a kick to drive around. Just keep out of soft soil.
Thanks all!

Now THAT is a line of Fordson tractors! I was hoping my comment would bring out a photo or a few. They all appear to have fenders on them also. Nice!
Thanks all!

I can remember at least half a dozen of these old beasts languishing about the area where I grew up in the 70's. They seemed very
out of place, but no one had snapped them up for scrap or the typical cutesy landscape display or mailbox holder. They were just
"there" where someone had parked them last.
I have enough sense to know I have no practical use or space for one, but they sure are cool !
In the Shorpy link at the top of the thread, ... whatis going on with the headlight lenses on the truck as far left ? They appear
to be smooth, or even domed smooth glass of much earlier cars, rather than the "H" type fluted jobs of the later years ????
That truck that has the green "visored" headlamp lenses is probably an early 1921 model, built in late 1920 or so. Those lenses with the green painted triangles were used for a short time period before the ribbed "H" type came out.
See page 320 of Bruce's big "Black Book" for more information.
Great picture.
