Very similar to a Marion (Mary Anne), but the Erie was mass produced. Erie merged with Bucyrus in the late twenties to form Bucyrus-Erie, now part of Caterpillar.
Note the concrete cast into the front wheels of the Fordsons, in an attempt to counteract their tendency to flip over backwards on the operator.
Supervisor message

I just hope that MaryAnn is painted red, as she should be.
