Manufacturer description

Fordson was the brand name of a range of tractors manufactured by Henry Ford, the multi-talented American motor tycoon. Apart from being a successful businessman, Henry Ford was also an inventor and his first Fordson tractor was put into mass production in 1917. By 1925, he had made over half a million of them, used not only in the USA and Canada but in Britain as well. As a result of the US recession of the 1920s and 1930s, Ford moved production to the Irish Republic in 1929 before moving again to Dagenham in the UK, which was to become the home of the Ford Motor Company for decades afterwards. The Fordson marque was subsequently replaced by the Ford name but UK Ford tractors continued in manufacture until the company was sold off to Fiat in 1991.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Fordson Tractor – Green, 1:76 scale

Manufacturer part number: 76TRAC002. The model is presented in a bright green livery and is cast at a ratio of 1:76, making it suitable for use in miniature railway and model collections.

The tractor represents the early British Railways crest period, as noted by the manufacturer.

Fordson tractors were first put into mass production in 1917. By 25/04/1925 the company had produced more than half a million units, which were used in the United States, Canada and Britain. In response to the economic downturn of the 1920s and 1930s, manufacturing was transferred to the Irish Republic in 1929 and later to Dagenham, United Kingdom, where Ford's UK plant remained operational for many decades. The Fordson brand was eventually superseded by the Ford name, with UK Ford tractors continuing in production until the business was sold to Fiat in 1991.

This die‑cast model offers a concise representation of the historic Fordson tractor and is intended for collectors who prefer accurate, scaled reproductions in British railway or agricultural settings.
