Preserving the Legacy of Ford Tractors

Welcome to Blue Iron Revival

Blue Iron Revival is about preserving, restoring, and working vintage Ford tractors — not just as collectibles, but as machines that still earn their keep.

From early N-series workhorses to later classics, Blue Iron Revival documents the real-world process of bringing old Ford iron back to life. That means hands-on repairs, honest troubleshooting, thoughtful restorations, and plenty of seat time using these tractors the way they were originally intended.

Along the way, I’ll explore Ford tractor history, model differences, engineering changes, and the small details that make each generation unique. You’ll also find coverage of tractor shows, events, and the people who keep this hobby alive — because the community is just as important as the machines.

Whether it’s a cold start on a winter morning, a hydraulic fix that finally makes sense, or a tractor that’s been sitting for decades turning dirt again, Blue Iron Revival is about respecting the past while putting old iron back to work.

If you appreciate classic Ford tractors, practical mechanical knowledge, and the satisfaction of machines that still do real jobs, welcome — you’re in the right place.
