Thanks to all the help I got, I have now found my chassis identification hidden under layers of paint. For reference front nearside, 3” in from end plate, top of U channel, stamped numerals. Photo attached.
And it turned out to be the chassis number corresponding to that passed down through previous owners on the back of an old envelope which also records the year of the tractors original sale.
Finding the number on the chassis has authenticated the documented record and I can now claim to have a Colt tractor number 136 dating to 1965. What a happy bunny or is it ‘old anorak’?

Many thanks for info. It would appear that any label that was there has long since disappeared.
The previous owner told me the chassis number was 136 and date of manufacture was 1965. Without the evidence, is that plausible do you think?

A nice bit of kit and well worth having. I have not see one in the flesh other than in a sales brochure.
It is the saw attachment designed for use with the Barford Mechanical Gardener. The trangular casting locks on the front of the MG tractor and power is via a V belt pulley. In the second photo you can see a rather hefty drive pulley shaft on the MG tractor. The pulley wheel is missing.
