Thanks so much Geoff, I really do appreciate the time you must take in writing your replies. All very interesting stuff, thank you again.
The tractor I will be showing is a Norton, 14274 (on your register already – ex Brian Carter), it’s in very good condition and sounds wonderful. As far as I know it had lain unused for some years before I bought it so I was glad to get it up and running (very straightforward).
On a separate note I have today resurrected a long standing ‘dead’ machine – 14355, JAP5 engine, took me a solid day and a half, but all good fun and a good learning experience. I believe that the serial number dates it to 1952?
Will be buying both books.
Thank you!
Will
