wonderful pics BC  i love going to working days with vintage machinery  intresting leylands there, never seen that 285 before  and that bray is stunning  thanks for posting the pics

ooppps, yes I am referring to the 285, think I may have partly answered my own question 

Yes was made up but don't know by who after there was a tractor blow up on the original. Was from the Aberdeenshire area according to Graham firstly on a farm near Turriff and then he bought it from the St Fergus oil terminal ( Peterhead ) area.

: OOOH DEAR You have a fine dain mate, great pics, specially the BRAY´s, they have never been seen in DK. Shame I cuoldn´t be there :o

I have said before ... you need to book some holidays in Scotland next year ;D Glad you liked the Bray.

[BC]

Great pics Bill. I'm not a big Leyland fan, but the 285 looks good, was that a 6 cyl. Seeing the exhaust up behind the cab reminds me of working on a potato harvester pulled by a Leyland when I was a boy

Yes it was a "six pot" Mark and sounded good.... Graham was certainly putting it through it paces and enjoying himself ;D

[BC]

yep, the 285 & 2100 are 6 cylinders with exhausts up the nearside rear cab pillar. I'm looking forward to seeing Charnley's recently-completed restored Bray 470 at the Newark show (well, I think it's gonna be there?)

Thanks for the pics Bill. I took a load at The National Ploughing Match yesterday at Marden ,Kent. I'll send a few for Markie to post up.

Looking forward to the pictures Nigel.

It's a funny soil down there but fertile I'm told. Only 60 miles from me but totally different from the darker black stuff we have in Aberdeenshire. More sandy with a slight clay content and the stones are not round but flat sandstone ones Colm.

Very nice pics,thanks for sharing them :)

Glad you enjoyed ... it was a nice day out and the weather was kind.

I think Leyland suffered a lot of criticism because they were British and had bad brakes to name but a few of their weaknesses.... however nice to see some being preserved and put through their paces ;D

Yes I must admit I have an affection to those IH 674 since I remember driving them many many year ago on trailer work...such a nice advanced gear box and cab on them.

Leyland well I have used one too can't remember which model other than L reg and was back filling an electricity trench with a Cameron Gardner rear loader that used to be used on my Nuffield DM4

Nice to see the Bray too since not too many around.
