Agricultural Tractor Standard N Mod. 1934-36
Kit No #38088
1/35th scale
The kit has four marking choices
The subject: The Fordson Model N 1934-6 tractor
The 1935 Fordson Model N was a significant evolution in Ford’s line of agricultural tractors, building upon the legacy of the earlier Model F. Introduced in 1929 and produced through 1945, the Model N was designed to be more robust and efficient, with a 4.4L four-cylinder engine that delivered approximately 27 horsepower. This increase in power was achieved through a larger cylinder bore, making it more capable of handling demanding farm tasks. The tractor was manufactured in Dagenham, England, after production shifted from Cork, Ireland, in 1933 due to economic pressures and logistical challenges.

A restored Fordson N in modern times is still working. These are a popular subject for restorers due to their rugged nature.
By 1934, the Model N featured several key improvements that enhanced its performance and usability. A power take-off (PTO) system became available as an option, allowing the tractor to power auxiliary equipment. The air cleaner assembly was upgraded to better handle dusty conditions, addressing a common issue with earlier models. Additionally, the mudguards were restyled for improved durability and appearance. These refinements reflected Ford’s commitment to adapting the tractor to real-world agricultural needs.

Overall, the 1934 Fordson Model N stood out as a durable, practical, and forward-thinking tractor that helped shape the mechanisation of agriculture in the mid-20th century. Its blend of mechanical reliability, thoughtful upgrades, and adaptability ensured its popularity among farmers in the UK and abroad. With over 200,000 units produced at the Dagenham plant between 1933 and 1945, the Model N left a lasting legacy in the history of agricultural engineering.

This new boxing from MiniArt:
This model represents the tractor that ploughed the fields all week and when war came, towed trailers, generators, and bomb trolleys for the Allies. This kit recreates the tractor’s heavy pressed-steel build, exposed four-cylinder engine, and signature wheels, making it a perfect slice of civilian or behind-the-lines life for any 1/35th scale farm or even military use/WWII diorama.

Included in this kit:
• Photo-Etched Parts are included for extra realism in the thinner parts of the kit.
• Clear parts for head- and work-lamp lenses
• Decal sheet with three vehicle markings included
-Attachments for the plough and other machinery are included.
-Two exhaust options are included for this tractor.
The main visual difference from their 1935 Fordson tractor is the large, metal wheels on the front and back of the tractor. Rubber was in short supply and expensive in the thirties, and these tractors were a harsher ride but less expensive.
The Markings:
These tractors were exported all around the world. There are four different versions of this tractor from Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, & the UK.

That is all we have on this kit so far. See more about all of MiniArt's kits on the MiniArt website.
