📚 Vehicle History

Founder:

Henry Ford.

Early Tractor Development:

Henry Ford's early experimental work in the early 1900s, leading to the Fordson.

Predecessors:

Fordson, 9N, 2N, 8N, NAA Golden Jubilee, Hundred series (600-900), Hundred and One series (501-901), Thousand series (2000, 4000, 6000).

1700 Placement:

The 1700 model likely falls within the later compact or utility tractor lines introduced by Ford, after the Thousand series, potentially bridging into the early Shibaura-built Ford compacts if it's a later iteration.

Manufacturing Era:

Specific production years for the 1700 are not provided in the product information. However, based on the 'Thousand series' discussion, the 1700 would likely be from the 1970s or 1980s if it represents a distinct model line from the earlier series mentioned.
