BC Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I got a letter yesterday asking me to return the trophy I won at this show last year which I haven't even got engraved yet. Never mine that one plus a cup from the Fraserburgh show and a shield from the Oldmeldrum are now packed and boxed for a trip to the engravers at Inverurie next week. Any I remember being emailed the entry forms but didnt remember it was as far back as 30th December last year. Anyway entry form filled and cheque made out so will be posted today. The show is held in the Grant Park in Forres last year it was a lovely day with quite a bit of sun around. I hope this year is the same again.

BC Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yesterday I went up to the 21st Anniversary show at Forres without tractor and what a lovely sunny day it was. So sunny in fact photos taken were limited. Anyway some of the exhibits. Tractors and commercials were limited in numbers since it is really more of a car show. 1960 Massey Ferguson FE35 1953 Ferguson diesel 4 cylinder - TEF 20 Looks to have been on a loader by the state of the bonnet 1948 Field Marshall Series 2 from Nicol MacKenzie from Halkirk. Nicol won the David Laing Tractor Trophy 1966 Massey Ferguson 130 1963 Fordson Super Dexta 1959 Massey Ferguson 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 A late entry of a bristol crawler from Gordon Davidson. He assures me the colour scheme is correct. I have never seen one in this colours but I have seen a lot of different colours in my time of this make. Another late entry Danny Duncan's Eicher Ferguson post hole borer The Mearns Club for Edzell doing the Ferguson rebuild. Only 6 instead of 8 and a bad time over 11 minutes until started but problem seemed to be a short in the starter. I had a laugh with them saying Ferguson's as well as Farmall's can have electrical problems ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 It was a superb day for the show Joe and in a funny way it was nice not having a tractor with me and the run home was quicker too ;) Just away to try and do electrical checks re lack of spark. I suspect it is coil or condenser but I replaced coil last year since I boiled it on two occasions by leaving the ignition switch on. Away I have a month before this one is out again at Fraserburgh to get to the route of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Some nice pictures there Bill.. thanks for sharing. I'd never heard of the Atco cars, but they sound like a bit of fun for the younger generation. All very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 That's the thing about these shows Mark you always seem to come upon some unusual items. I was talking to a rally friend there (one with the Eicher) and he was saying the chap withe the two Atco's has one of the oldest running Series 1Land Rovers. The first batch made was a batch of 50 and he has number 49. In addition apparently LR were not pleased with the seat coverings and the story goes they used leather from the Land Rover board room seats and chairs etc..... now I don't know if this is true or not but its a shame to spoil a story by saying it was a lie :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
