I had never heard of a "Harry Ferguson" before.
My brother has one that he acquired after the death of a close family friend.
The only major difference I see between it and the Ford 8N is that if you let off the clutch while operating, the 3 point lift will drop.
That may be an issue with the tractor given the age, and not a design difference in the tractor -- I'm not familiar enough to know.
It was used once or twice a year to mow a 3 acre pasture up until a couple of years ago when the family friend passed.
While doing a little idle-time-killing I stumbled across a number of youtube videos about Harry Ferguson and the "tractor war" with Ford.
Interesting story, and that got me wondering if getting my brother to clean it up a bit might be worth the effort.
I'm hoping someone here might know a little about them.
