Additional Information

on may 1, 1924, two brand-new tractors with the letters "f-P" on the radiator passed through Palace square: the famous Putilov factory began to implement the great Lenin plan.

In tractorisation Ilyich saw the lever by which the entire rural economy can be rebuilt on socialist lines. At the VIII Congress of the party in March 1919, he said: "If we could give tomorrow 100 thousand first-class tractors, supply them with gasoline, supply them with drivers.. then the average peasant would say, "I am for communion."

In 1923, in pursuance of Lenin's words, a Commission was established, which found that the country requires 220 thousand tractors up to 20 HP From wheeled tractors to the development of a planned American "Fordson" and "Titan" from crawler — the American "Holt" and the German "V. D."

For the production of wheeled tractors involved factories: Putilovsky. Kolomensky, Rostov "Red Aksay", "Red progress" in Ukraine and "Revival" in the Saratov region, for the production of tracked — Kharkiv locomotive and Petrograd "Bolshevik". When some time later the Commission of VSNH examined the situation at these plants, it came to the conclusion that mass production can be delivered only on Putilovsky.

it was out of the question To develop our own model due to lack of experience and lack of time.

the Most common, the simplest and cheapest in the world was considered at that time the American light tractor "fordzon", produced in the United States since 1917. It and decided to put on a production. To do this, six new tractors dismantled to the last screw and carefully measured all the details. The average size in the then adopted in America inch system was transferred to the drawings. Similarly, after testing the parts for hardness and conducting metallographic and chemical analyses, we selected the appropriate materials and established the manufacturing technology.

the Work was carried out so efficiently that when business contacts were established with Ford and the plant began to receive some parts from America, they were completely interchangeable with ours, and the production technology at Putilovec in some cases was even more perfect than the American one.

on October 1, 1924 the first serial "fordzon-Putilovets"descended from the conveyor of plant.

In 1931 was released dvadtsatipyatiletnih tractor

"fordzon-Putilovets" more than once became a symbol of collectivization of agriculture and was represented on posters, cards, propaganda porcelain, postage stamps.
