C OMBINES with any Ford touring car or^ roadster to make a fully guaranteed 
tractor, duplicating, in amount of work it will do, the highest priced, biggest 
tractors you can buy, and giving you the most efficient tractor construction that you can get. 
Fifteen minutes will change your Ford to tractor, and it takes only fifteen minutes to make the change back 
again. The tractor construction is complete and leaves nothing attached to the Ford with the exception 
of the new special Smith Form-a-Tractor Radiator and the patented Force Feed Oiling System. 
Back your Ford over the Smith Form-a-Tractor frame—jack up the rear axle—pull off the Ford rear 
wheels—replace them with the Smith Form-a-Tractor roller driving pinions—connect up the Smith 
Form-a-Tractor axle to the Ford axle with special clamps—clamp the front end of the Smith Form-a- 
Tractor frame to the front axle of the Ford frame, and the conversion is complete. 
All the work is done by the Smith Form-a-Tractor attachment. The tractor wheels push the Ford ahead 
and pull the farm implements from the rear. You do not deface your Ford in any way. You do not 
injure its wonderful ability, but merely utilize its low cost of operation to give the cheapest form of doing farm work.

Wonderful Design 
In quality — workmanship — design — materials—Smith 
Form-a-Tractor gives you tremendous value. 
The special cellular type radiator, ten times as efficient 
as the regular Ford radiator, guarantees perfect cooling 
in all kinds of work, under all weather conditions. Even 
on the hottest days you can plow at the rate of seven 
acres a day with absolute certainty, where horses can 
only plow 4 acres, with the constant fear that they 
will drop dead in the harness from excessive heat. 
The patented Force Feed Oiling System guarantees 
perfect lubrication—freedom from burned out bearings, 
scored pistons. These two features are absolutely 
essential to proper tractor operation. 
The tractor wheels are exceptionally wide, equipped 
with strong, durable lugs for service in soft soil, the 
roller pinions meshing with the bull ring gear of the 
tractor wheels, are made of nickel steel, heat treated. 
The_ tractor axle is back of the Ford axle. The 
driving power of the pinions is exerted downward, 
keeping strain away from the Ford and giving utmost 
efficiency. 
Remarkable Power 
Eleven-to-one gear reduction through the use of the 
Smith Form-a-Tractor roller driving pinion gives won¬ 
derful workingpower. Two and one-half miles an hour 
in plowing, binding, drilling and all other farm work- 
eleven times the pulling power of the Ford. 
Smith Form-a-Tractor will start and work continuously- 
hauling a 28-inch gang plow or doing any other four, 
horse work, and do it all on high gear. We absolutely 
guarantee this amazing feature of performance.
