In 1911, Harry Ferguson opens his own car sales firm Maxwell, Star and Vauxhall and Overtime tractors.
In January 1939, Ferguson and his family and the most valuable employees moved to Dearborn to begin work on a tractor that would later be known as the Ford-Ferguson 9N.

In addition to his team, a large number of Ford specialists took part in Ferguson‘s work. The design of the new tractor was also developed by professional Ford stylists.
The new tractor was demonstrated in the same year of 1939. He became a serious argument in the competition between Ford and International Harvester.
