ford motor company invested $12 million in tooling to finance ferguson's new distribution company. the investment resulted in the production of the 9n tractor which was introduced on june 29, 1939. it was officially called a "ford tractor with the ferguson system", although the name ford-ferguson was widely used. it sold for $585 including rubber tires, power take-off, ferguson hydraulics, an electric starter, generator, and battery; lights were optional. ford's 9n further improved the cantankerous model f by updating the ignition with a distributor and coil. an innovative system of tire mounts for the rear wheels and versatile axle mounts for the fronts enabled farmers to accommodate any width row-crop work they needed. the 9n weighed 2340 pounds and had 13 drawbar horsepower, which could pull a two-bottom plow. it was designed to be safe, quiet and easy to operate. ford once said "our competition is the horse."; the 9n was intended for farmers who were not mechanically minded.

in 1916 and 1917, the name "fordson" was not yet used as the tractor's make or model name, nor was "model f". during this period, terms such as "the [real/genuine] ford tractor" or "the henry ford tractor", as well as "the mom tractor" (because almost all output was going to the british ministry of munitions), were used. "the ford tractor company" had already been registered on march 15, 1915 by w. baer ewing and paul w. ford. in early 1918, the name "fordson" was trademarked, and within a few months it was being marked on the tractors. published sources vary somewhat on the origin of the name. all agree that the name reflects the contemporary name of the tractor company, "henry ford & son", and its obvious eponyms: henry and edsel. some claim that the company had been using the cable address "fordson" for several years, which would mean even before the company was officially incorporated in july 1917. another implies that february 1918 marked the first use of "fordson" in a cablegram. regardless, by april 1918 the name "fordson" was established as the brand, and its eponyms were obvious. in that month, u.s. sales began under county war board distribution rules. the model f designation (for essentially the same model, with improvements) began in 1919. sales boomed in 1918 and 1919.
