Fordson Diesel Major, pre 1955 as it has the footplates over the brake housings and
a big knob on the high/low lever. Im sure this photo was taken in the UK as this
tractor is fitted with a handbrake lever. Tractors sent to the USA did not have a
handbrake lever, only a foot pedal latch.

Looks like they left it in a bad
neighborhood overnight.

Looks like they installed the rare "Hip-Rubber" toolbox on the fender.

Progress from the pic you posted the other day. The engine is mounted in this one.

I thought this would be a tough ID, but MJ [i:a4a0395c5a]nailed[/i:a4a0395c5a] it! Well done sir! You've been on quite the hot streak lately.

I'll try to make the next few a tad more difficult for ya. *lol*

Hi Kcm, thanks for the complement, just a little history for you. Had my 75th
birthday last week, been in the farm machinery trade since leaving school in 1958,
had my own buisness this last 36 years servicing and repairing Manitou telescopic
handlers and fork lift trucks with one engineer, bought my first tractor 51 years
ago (1941 Allis Chalmers WC ). Chairman of our local tractor club with just over 400
members, spend most of my weekends going to tractor rallies to do the parade ring
commentries. Hows that for starters. MJ

So what you're saying is that you feel "[i:2d3f4a02e8]somewhat[/i:2d3f4a02e8]" comfortable around tractors?? *lol*

You're a part of the wealth of information here on YT. Thank you.

Better get a can over the exhaust or the engine might tighten up.
