I am in no way wishing to doubt Mr Wolfs accurate statement about said tractors reliability but wouldn't it have been easier to say it was c%&p - other expletives are available.

Should actually be like the one in Benbows photo, but you would be correct abandoning it in the barn. Usually this is due to: Faulty magneto, faulty carburettor, cracked vapourising manifold, blown water pump or radiator, stuck exhaust valve, blown clutch..... or general malaise.... Or a load of farmworkers loafing about in the field instead of getting on with some work!! Seems to be a common theme in LM 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked those "don't give a s*** if I work or not" tractors. Leaking hydraulics, although probably would not stop the thing running if it could be arsed. So as well as buses on bridges you don't like tractors as well. Shocking 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted February 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2021 Best bet would be a Fordson N, built from 1927 in Ireland, built from 1933 in Dagenham. Someone did a kit and I built one, either scalelink or springside. You don't want a little grey fergie, they started production of those in 1946. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Instead of one Pannier how about three....! I was going to scrap this one as I set the ISO to high hence the grainy, washed out appearance, looked worse in monochrome! It's the only one I have at the moment with all three of Panniers in the frame, so to speak.... Edited March 27 by KNP 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 As long as you got one with the wide mudguards, you should be able to bluff out the rest. Green painted model Ns with skinny rear mudguards are wartime land army jobs. Modern rubbish by Little Muddle standards.... 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
