The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Here's my final selection of photographs from the George Stephenson hall. Starting with Vic Mathers David Brown 1955 50D. Another tractor that was constantly surrounded by people was another variation of tandem tractor. On this occasion two Massey Harris 55 tractors had been joined together. It was one of ten built by a Montana dealer in 1950. Peter Clarke's stunning Porsche Junior. It's always great to capture the restoration work of David Aylward. At Newark he had his wonderful Nuffield DM4 on display. Lastly from the George Stephenson Hall Rob Yates's International Super BWD6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Moving onto the hall where Andy was situated with the Model Farmer and F.T.F stand, without question I found this the most difficult hall to take photographs in. Here's a small selection of machines from this hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 My final photographic contribution from this year's Newark Tractor and Heritage Show as darkness begins to descend. Starting with a selection of beautiful baby blues. Luke Hooper's prototype Fordson Super Dexta. Alan Daubny's Ford 3000 Pre Force. Followed by Tony Bristow's 1972 Force example. As I ventured back outside with Dad towards the carpark the sun descends on this Cotil crane equipped Fordson Major. On the way back towards the entrance I found a vehicle which has had it's fair share of attention this year. Homeward bound in the setting sun. So we've come to the end of my photographic review of this event. It's not completely comprehensive, there were still plenty of exhibits I was unable to or failed to point my camera lens at. As I mentioned previously to fully appreciate all of what's on display you really need the whole weekend to take everything in. Something i'm planning on doing next year. Hope everyone has enjoyed my colourful trail from this year's event. One of the best static rallies i've had the pleasure of experiencing and it was great to catch up and meet so many tractor enthusiasts too.

super6 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Some great pictures there David, I didn't seem to get much time for photo's, although I did take quite a few of that 1124...my favourite tractor at the show. What a superb restoration, but then what a good starting point, 1300 hrs was it? and then a stint in a museum stateside! Puts mine to shame, well almost as its got over 9000 hrs on the clock a true work horse you might say, albeit slumbering at the moment. Getting back to topic, the Perkins engined N apparently was fitted with an engine from a Sherpa van, turbocharged at that. Does it qualify for vintage ploughing matches? The JCB aircraft tug looked to be based on a Fordson Major skid unit with their own front axle design and tin work being either JCB3 or 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JCB aircraft tug looked to be based on a Fordson Major skid unit with their own front axle design and tin work being either JCB3 or 4 Thanks ever so much Paul. It certainly was quite quite a mission to get around all the tractors with the camera ( my legs and knees were a bit stiff by the end of the day ) and even then there were quite a few I missed which I'd have liked to have captured. I'm a huge fan of Ford conversions, especially those made by County and whilst there quite a few excellent restorations such as the Roadless 980, that 1124 just seemed to stand out more than the rest, next to no hours on it and a stunning restoration to match, I do like those Firestone tyres too that were fitted to a number of other tractors at the show also. The JCB tug was indeed Fordson Major based, never seen anything like it before and made a nice change from the David Brown examples also on display. I'm not sure about modified engined vintage tractors competing in their respective vintage classes at ploughing matches ( certainly at the highest level anyway ) I know vintage specials are allowed to compete in the high cut oat seed furrow class, i've seen a number of Perkins P6 powered Fordson N tractors in the past and also Ron Hill's Land Rover front axled International W-4. At local working days i've attended however i've seen a number of variations competing in the vintage trailed class. Off topic I know, but here's another alternatively powered N I found at a ploughing match and working day not far from home last year. It's an Izuzu engine which I believe previously resided in a mini digger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 another smashing set of photos david,it enables all of us who cant make these venues agreat insight,thanks again Thanks Paul, enjoyed putting them together and likewise it's nice to be able to share them with fellow F.T.F members and enthusiasts rather than have them just sat on my computer for my own eyes, it makes it all the more worthwhile when attending events like this.
