The Fordson Model F Tractor was produced between 1917 and 1928. Initial production was at Dearborn in the U.S.A. with production commencing in Cork, Republic of Ireland in 1919. The engine was a four cylinder side-valve unit which produced 20 h.p. at 1,000 r.p.m. Ignition was identical to that used in the Model T Ford car and consisted of a low-tension flywheel magneto and high tension coils. The clutch was of the multiple disc in oil type, final drive was by worm-gears. Lubrication was of the splash type, oil was caught in a funnel and conducted to individual trays in which the connecting-rod cap projections were dipped. Engine cooling was by the Thermosyphon method.
