Literature---1969 FORD Full Line Brochure Pt2

[CraigWis]

Here is the 2nd part of the 1969 FORD Full Line Brochure
Some of the Equipment was made by other companys. Oliver, Claas, New Idea and other companys
I have had and still have a few that are in this Brochure. 311 Planter Good Slow Planter But Hard to find Plates for, 532 Baler Made the best bales But had Problems with the PTO slip clutch. 906 Rotary Cutter Too small for me

Those choppers were an odd duck. They were a direct cut without a reel, then there was just a row divider that slid over them that didn't have gathering chains and the direct cut knives cut corn. I believe the pickup just went on over the knives too. They were a cut/throw without any other blower. Not many moving parts, that's for sure.

Curious, no mention of the 309 mounted planter. It's a shame that agriculture and farming have changed so much in the last 50 years so we've lost so many manufacturers.

Sorry I am limited to only 10 scans on each post. So I can't show every page on these larger brochures. That is why I have to do two parts

Didn't mean any disrespect. I enjoy your postings, really like seeing what we've lost over the years.

Thanks for posting. A very cool book to have whether a Ford fan or not. I have Oliver/Whites version from 1973 but my little brother tore alot of pages out and scribbled on a few mostly in the hay tool section. yes that was 50+ years ago.

who made their hay tools? I know at one point White made their corn planters and plows I believe (White also made plows for Case as well).

I can't say i've seen that combine. Was it a Claas? different set up for the engine beside the cab.
that double caster wheel rake is something I haven't seen.

Claas Made the Combines with FORD Engines. Oliver /White made the plows. New Idea made Rakes and Mower Conditioner. Balers at that time I think was made by Long. Plus the Wagons, Manure Spreaders, Rotary Cutters, Silo Blowers and maybe more were made by other short line companys

I missed out on a 640 many moons ago. Didn't know what it was or where to get parts for it at the time (the internet was still newfangled!). The local dealer had a low-houred one for around $2200, which was expensive, to me at least. It sat in their storage shed for 7 or 8 years before it sold & then the dealer had calls on it for another two after that. Lol!

Guess they gained a following at some point.
