Arjan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 As some of you like older tractors, hope you like these. Transported this Grey one for the new owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I love them. I think old tractors are THE most relaxing things to drive. I wish I had a field to justify buying one ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Looks like a TEA Fergie? I can't think of them as old. Everyone still seems to have one! Lovely beasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have an early 1947 continental, I bought it on a whim a few years ago but have never done anything with it, it is now camouflaged in bracken. To be honest I was more impressed with playing with the three point linkage Ferguson jack it came with than actually using it! I've got a 135 I bought a year ago and have never even driven it, it was a good buy, I paid £1500 for it in good nick with linkbox and some other kit - I may find a use for it it one day!

steve b Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 My old tractors are a U1000 with a MB Trac 130hp engine and aJCB 2C based on the 3 cylinder Nuffield tractor I believe . A really handy little digger cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW8IZR Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I once borrowed a little tow along digger, two wheels and feet with a Perkins lump. Single actor and a fairly small bucket .. it was sooo handy and I always thought if I ever spotted one similar I'd buy it. I've never really spent much time looking for one and I reckon when scrap was through the roof thats where they probably went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Two Massey 135's for me... oneandtwo if you need someone to take yours off your hands for £1,500 give me a ring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I used to have an interest in a Standard Fordson model N The need for a means to tow that to shows was the original reason I bought a Landrover. I somehow feel I was towing rather overweight for my 88" 2.25P. A quick search tells me the tractor was around 1500kg, and the hydraulic lifting Lo-Lode trailer was mighty heavy on its own. That was 25 years ago... The Landrover bug got its teeth in deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Never realised they had a worm drive rear axle Mickey, I'd be interested in what the top speed of one was but it feels wrong using the word 'speed' when asking about something that no doubt was anything but speedy.

mickeyw Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 There were a few different drive ratios ranging from pretty slow to effin slow. Denoted by a coloured spot on the axle case. The Landy wasn't much faster when hauling this combo. I do recall resorting to low box when climbing Pebble Hill in Betchworth. That was somewhat less dramatic than driving an 8 tonne steam showmans engine plus living van up that same road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
