Reply To: A (T)rusty Tractor, do I want to know?

It may well be worth having a look at the Trusty tractor page in the galleries on our website. This will give you an idea of what one looks like (should look like).
The earliest version had no bumper, just a longer chassis plate, the next version had a bumper like the one in this photo, this was then replaced with this version
Various engines were used, JAP, Douglas, Norton and others.
Without seeing the machine it is impossible to advise if you should ‘run away’ or ‘jump in’. Does engine turn or is seized would be a major factor.
