fred Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 was the driver loose or was here stuck to the seat on the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 The E27N driver was loose. This figure was used on several of Britain's implements as well from pre-war models up to around 1956. Horse and hay rake, horse and roller as well as the tractor. He came in various colour combinations for his clothing and hat and had a swinging right arm.

fred Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks did some research in to colours before from images butI did not know if he was glued to the seat or not. So I will not glue mine to the seat then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Have to correct you there BC, that is no. 554 Farmers Son sitting and is a pre war issue only. His right arm is bent at about 90 degrees whereas the tractor drivers is only slightly bent also he is wearing a waistcoat and his left arm is resting across his leg. This is the tractor driver or to be stictly correct No. 560 Farm Hand, sitting, for driving farm machine (from 1952 catalogue) First issued for use with the farm rake Colour variation, this seems to be the most common colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 So that is the incorrect "driver" I have on my E27N then super6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 So that is the incorrect "driver" I have on my E27N then super6 I would say so, but looks okay Did it come with the tractor and is it boxed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 i have been wondering that for quite a while but due to lack of information about it, was the tractor issued with the tractor driver or without? or was that only the case with the few sets in which the tractor was issued too..?

BC Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I would say so, but looks okay Did it come with the tractor and is it boxed? Yes super6 the driver came with the tractor and is boxed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 If you want to straighten the right mudguard then warm it with hot warm and carefully ease it out.Do not take it to far as it will break of.Do not use anything else to heat it with such as a naked flame as it will turn into a blob. And you can touch up the minor bits of paint work with Humbrol number 15 gloss(midnight blue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!! Well said powerrabbit, little louder please Yes super6 the driver came with the tractor and is boxed Not disputing that, but may have been inserted by seller As I mentioned earlier he is a pre war figure only, but could have been fished out from the bottom of a box and inserted!!! i have been wondering that for quite a while but due to lack of information about it, was the tractor issued with the tractor driver or without? or was that only the case with the few sets in which the tractor was issued too..? Tractors issued with driver. Page taken from 1952 trade catalogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
