Harold Brock designer of 9n ford

[Craig Clayton]

I found 4 vids on Youtube about Harold Brock who is now 96 years old and he worked with Henry Ford on the 9N.
Watch and you will learn why the 8N is silver and gray in colour.
Now to the movies.

Mr Brock passed away just about this time last year. He was sharp as a tack up until his death. He was chief engineer on two of the most iconic tractors ever produced. I had the honor of hearing him speak, about 10 years ago. The man really knew his business!

Thanks for posting the videos with Mr. Brock. I had no idea he was still alive until last year.

I watched the video and heard Mr. Brock say he went to work for Henry Ford in 1929. Now lets do some adding and subtracting here. He was 96 years old in 2011 give or take a few months. My older brother is 91 and was born in 1921. Mr. Brock was 96 in 2011 making him born in 1916 give or take a few months. So, old Henry Ford was desperate and hired Mr. Brock at age 13 to become his Chief Engineer. I think the age on Mr. Brock got to him and he meant that he went to work for Henry maybe in 1939.

He states in the first video that he was 15 years old when he started working for Henry Ford, who was in his 60's. These videos are some of the best ever show, of American pride. People like this built this country strong. His tractors live on. Thank you so much, for posting.
