Workers on Cylinder Head Assembly Line in the Fordson Tractor Plant, Cork, Ireland, January 1929
Add to SetSummary
By 1928, Henry Ford's innovative Fordson tractor had become obsolete in the American market. But the Ford Motor Company recognized a continuing need for a small, affordable tractor in the British Isles and consolidated Fordson production at its Cork, Ireland, plant. The Fordson tractor was assembled here until 1932, when production moved to England.
