The Fordson Tractor

The Fordson Model F was the first lightweight tractor in the world. It went into mass production in 1917 and sold for $750. The original Fordson used a 20 horsepower, four-cylinder oil engine, and a three-speed transmission with speeds ranging from 2¼ to 6¼ mph. By mid-1918, more than 70 percent of the farmers were using these tractors.

Remember When

Arnold Palmer and Bob Hope | good friends goofing around

ARNOLD PALMER - EVERYONE’S HERO Golf was a rich man's game. Strictly country club, and then came Arnold Palmer. Here was a guy just like most of us, rough around the edges. He was a big hitter with a limited short game. Sound familiar. He had that wild swing, and when he missed a shot, we missed. He was almost always coming from behind, making that now famous charge. Arnie was the guy next door. He brought golf in to our living room with the advent of television. He was our hero. When he won, we all won.
