Dearborn and Ferguson Wagon

[miner09]

Who built the Ferguson and Dearborn Wagon(4 wheel trailer)? Where they made about the same.I've been looking for a Ferguson but got a Dearborn Model 21-2 today. Just thought if they were same I would make it a Ferguson. It will be a Cotton Trailer like we used years ago when we picked cotton by hand(before tractor strippers and pickers) and emptied out cotton sacks into it before taking it to Gin.

I have a Ferguson gear and from what I have seen thay look to be close the tag is in a little different location and the lug nuts on a Ferguson is like the front of a ferguson tractor as are the wheels but some have 15 and some have 16 nuts on a Ford are smaller ,seen a Ferguson sell for $800.00 . Most people cant tell them apart

Holy cow Mikey, that sounds more depressing than a Merle Haggard song! I never heard happy stories about cotton... mater of fact I think that drove more kids into cities than all the tales about bright lights and movin' picture shows.... as for your cotton pickin' wagon.... some one thought one company made both thru the years, and they might be right about that... did you see the extra tag on the 3 pt scraper posted last night? Some shops might have been cranking this stuff out for years with no notice or glory, just profit!

One sold this summer out here in Ohio very reasonably. The gentileman who picked it up grabbed it to keep it in the family (Ferguson collectors) He probaly would sell.
