I don't know anything about them. There are a few guys in the Ford/Fordson club who are very knowledgeable on them but they don't get online. Details on the Tugs are scarce. They were mostly a 2N tractor modified by Ferguson-Sherman to be an airport tug. I've heard how hundreds of them were pushed overboard on aircraft carriers after the war. Lots of them were stripped of the heavy metal and converted back to a usable "tractor" like the one discussed here. I've seen enough of them to know the features that identify it as a tug or former tug, but that's it. They never really interested me enough to bother trying to learn about them.
