igor Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 I suspect you may be rather younger than me J5. Our neighbours in Northland had an old Fordson which I have long believed was an E27N (but may in retrospect have been an earlier model given that the oldest E27N would have been only twenty years old then) with steel wheels all around on their runoff in, and before, my early childhood. I don't remember it but I have been told it was never garaged and would be left for months between haymaking season and feeding out season and it always started when required. 1 Quote

They even have water in them which, while not ideal for manual handling, will be a good thing once they are fitted to the tractor. The seller has very limited use of his legs (pretty sure none at all on the left) and uses a wheelchair to get around but does not allow this to prevent him from driving a full range of normal vehicles when required, including the tractor he used to load our trailer. As he says many seemingly impossible things become possible if one thinks about how for a while first. Any 'clutha boys reading this will probably guess the identity of this man quite quickly. 2 Quote
