The BBC aired a video this past September, Tractor Wars, Ferguson versus Ford,
produced in Northern Ireland by DoubleBand Studios, and partially filmed here in
Michigan. It can be seen on Youtube. There are several scenes that show two of my
tractors, my 1940 9N and my 1951 8N. I had agreed NOT to record the production, but
I could not stop Youtube from putting it on the internet.
There is also a Ferguson collector with his tractor filmed in the old Ferguson
factory in Detroit. Fun to watch. A bit biased for Harry Ferguson, but that is the
way it was. Hope you enjoy it if you have not yet seen it.
On a side note, during some preparation for the arrival of the film crew, I
discovered a box of my mother's, a photograph of my maternal Great-great
grandparents...from Northern Ireland.
