My first attempt at siphoning gas was from the late '40s blue-colored Fordson on our family farm. I accidentally swallowed a bit of the gas and my brother, my cousins, and I were all convinced I would die later in the afternoon. I was burping up gas fumes the rest of the day but that was the only bad effect.

That was in 1964 and I still get the shivers when I hear or read the word "Fordson."

in his citrus grove - I think it is a 3-cylinder diesel version. He uses several different implements running off the power take off (PTO), such as a disc harrow, towed twin head rotary mower, and trimmers to square up the orange trees for harvest time. Very distinct sound, so I can always tell when he is at work in the grove.

That thing sitting in front of the building is a Fordson.

It's listed on the roof sign along with Ford and Lincoln, but it's totally unknown to me. Auto experts: can you help?

1926 was the last full year of the Model T's production run. May 26, 1927 was the last day of production. Its successor the Model A wasn't produced until October 20, 1927 (and not sold until December 2), leaving a bit of interregnum.
