I saw in a book I just got, (Garden Tractors: Deere, Cub Cadet, Wheel Horse, and All the Rest, 1930s to Current by Oscar H. Will III - great book, I got it at Tractor Supply) That there were a LOT of attachments for those things.
Didn't the name change happen when Ford got out of making tractors/Semis? I know NH is still around. The new 8n is a coool lookin little tractor! Thought they still had a mower line made by MTD?
