It made a Crop | I wasn't try to debate the S-O-S as design. We have two on the farm a '69 or '70 5200 and 971 (retired). And Dad ran a rebuilt red 6000 with M&W turbo 8 or 9 years. So yes I know the S-O-S became a useable unit.
I was just pointing out how Ford Management did not trust there Chief Engineer of Tractor Operations. Who by the way Started His career at Ford in '29 in the Ford Trade & Apprentice School at age 15. There firing him had to delay the any future success of the SOS. And surtenly aided Deere with success of the New Generation "4000" series. Just interesting the impact those decissions had. | |
