The entire NAA section was ripped from here, as such, it's been removed. -- Sable232 ( talk) 02:22, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
I have removed all of my copyrighted material and do not want it to be part of Wikipedia anymore. I do not wish to contribute to Wikipedia since it is obviously not appreciated after I added a lot of information and then I'm told that I'm vandalizing Wikipedia. Please look back at my history. I do not vandalize Wikipedia, never have, never will. All I did was contribute good information. Please do not add this content back on. It is copyrighted by me and you do not have my permission to use it. No wonder Wikipedia is so screwed up with all the misinformed people editing it. When someone tries to edit and put good information that is factual nobody wants it. Then fine. I will contribute no more. Thanks for ruining a good thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.130.54.221 ( talk) 04:06, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
This section has been moved to a separate article as this was a new tractor with very few parts carried over from the N-series and is actually more closely related the 600 series and other later numbered tractors. The infobox was added to make the article more similar to other tractor-related articles. Nyth83 ( talk) 23:07, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
I removed Nyth83's edits because he obviously doesn't know that the NAA is still an N Series tractor! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.21.111.231 ( talk) 04:57, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Nyth83 you are incorrect. The NAA is still considered to be an N Series tractor even though it is quite different than the other N Series tractors. Note the N in the Model that is why it is an N Series tractor. A lot of people do not know that Ford considered the NAA an N Series tractor. You can deny it all you want, but the NAA is still an N Series tractor! Visit N Tractor Club and you will see that they show the NAA as an N Series Tractor. Look right on the home page. Read the models they have listed as N Series Tractors.

Nyth83, Did you bother to read the video description of that YouTube video you linked to me? This one: The New Ford Tractor 1953. Read the whole description. The guy calls the NAA an N Series tractor several times in the description! You can deny it all you want, but the NAA is still an N Series tractor! 98.21.111.231 ( talk) 00:56, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
OK, I added two references. Quote from the first one by Thomas A Farrell, president, Dearborn Motors Corporation:
We are tremendously pleased that Ford decided to bring out this entirely new tractor on the occasion of its 50th Anniversary celebration.
and from the second reference:
The new tractor, marking the 50th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company, not only is more powerful, but larger and heavier that the popular Model 8N whick it replaces, the company announced.
So, no question that Ford did not consider it just another newer version of the N-series. Besides, for legal reasons, they probably wanted a completely clean break from Ferguson and his TO20 copycat tractor. Nyth 63 02:52, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/002/7/7/2774-fordson-fordson-n.html claims a production run since 1929, with yearly production figures. Lastdingo ( talk) 23:32, 16 May 2015 (UTC) "Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors 1890-1980" (on google books) states that tests with "Fordson N" tractor were done in 1930 already. I suppose the production began in 1929. Lastdingo ( talk) 23:37, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
The nature of the agreement between Ford and Harry Ferguson could be made clearer
Ferguson's successful tractor demonstration led to a handshake agreement with Ford in 1938, whereby Ford would manufacture tractors using the Ferguson three-point hitch system.[1]
Ford Motor Company invested $12 million in tooling to finance Ferguson's new distribution company.[2] The investment resulted in the production of the 9N tractor which was introduced on June 29, 1939
and
Henry Ford passed leadership of his company to grandson Henry Ford II in 1945. By 1946, the younger Ford discovered that, despite its success, the Model N lost Ford Motor Company over $25 million in six years.[1] He reacted by forming Dearborn Motors in November 1946, which took over tractor distribution from Ferguson.
I'm assuming this means that part of the deal was that Ferguson's company would also distribute the tractors, but if that was the case, I think the text ought to state it more explicitly.
Another slight issue here is that the two last sentences in the first quoted section don't quite make sense. I mean, how exactly does investment in a *distribution* company lead to production? Also, it would probably be better to say "Ford Motor Company invested $12 million in tooling for Ferguson's new distribution company", as the current text might seem to suggest that the tooling did the financing, which I assume was not the case.
