    Well done. Unbelievably it was running 10 years ago, but clutch stuck, and as a result went through the fence and 2 fields an hedges before they got it stopped. Think it will be a long project, as now seized, but I’m not aware of a running one in the uk.

    Second tractor, I know of no running examples, but a couple have turned up at auction in recent years, the radiator should give it away

    The last couple of weeks, I’ve managed to add a couple of things from the, I’ll never find one of those list. I know one club member knows what they are, cause I told him, so no spoiling. For the rest of you, a challenge, can you tell what the magnets in the van found!

    An even larger one came to light recently, approx 5foot wide and 4 foot tall. One similar to mine for comparison. Sadly this time not added to the collection, although a few goodies were!
