Fantastic book John, with a very different layout to most nowadays. All pictures are numbered and the captions for them are listed at the back. First published in 1974, there's some lovely photos in it of veteran tractors including lots from the late Frank Smith's collection at Kirton in Lincolnshire, one of the pioneer vintage tractor collectors in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 few buys for me over the last months or two,primarily for poss future builds, been wanting to try a vicon buffalo spreader for ages, but never saw a brochure till these turned up on fleabay recently . i have so many memories of standing on the footplate of the 165 with my grandad spreading with one of these ,especially when the blackbird spy plane went over at 250 ft, despite us having a pair of kidd spreaders ,my grandad used this right till he retired, as it was easier to get to the heap , and it was still sat in the barn the day we sold up. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Two more recent additions thanks again to John (JMD) a Dutch Universal 3 and a Swedish/Norwegien 3/42, i'm getting quite a liking to having some of these foriegn brochures amongst the collection even though i can't read them The Universal brochure joins a fench as well as a standard english text version, so will have to see what turns up next year, Thanks for your continued help brochure spotting John, its appreciated 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Well this was a big surprise to find under the tree yesterday off my lovely better half an updated spec sheet for the launch of the 10 speed 10/42 and 10/60 Nuffields that replaced the earlier 3/42 and 4/60, think i've found a good one here boys, Gemma's taken a shine to the 804 and is now feeding my habit for old literature ...... truth be told Gemma also got me a handful of other bits of Leyland related items as well a a genuine Marshall sunstrip for the 804....... but she did say that was to help keep the sun out of her eyes in the summer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
