A very good friend of mine just purchased an old Fordson similar to the one he ran as a youngster. He knows about the engine, transmission, electrical system, etc, however we are at a loss to figure out what year it is. Is there a serial number somewhere that can be interpreted? The last patent date I can find is November 1920. It has a Holley vaporizer fuel system, and no governor, so I'm assuming mid to late 20's. I passed the parts places mentioned in the earlier post on to him, but is there a decent supply on parts? He will be needing coils, gas tank, air filter parts, etc. Would it be better to look for used somewhere, or are they available reproduction? Sorry for all the stupid questions , but my friend and I both bleed green, and this Fordson is just a new experience. Thanks in advance for the help.

I'll try to help as others did for me. You have a Model F Fordson. Serial number is stamped on right side of engine, sitting in driver's seat, located ahead of vaporizer and just above manifold. Let me know the number, and i'll tell you the year built.

There are parts available, but you have to do some looking. Ebay is a great place to find everything from valves to tools. Also, coils rebuilt come from Ron Patterson, modeltcoils@sprynet.com, boxes are always on Ebay.

It uses a water washer, but there is a conversion to a modern filter if you don't want to bother with the water.

Gas tank source would have to be a junk yard or maybe Rosewood Machine and Tool, (937) 362-3871.

New spark plugs are from John Brillman at www.Brillman.com, and also some common parts with Model T sources such as Lang's Old Car Parts, (800) 872-7871.

Hope this helps.

Bob
