880DT5 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi Folks, I have been trying to boost my collection of early Britains Tractors and implements in the last couple of weeks. Can anybody tell me what implements where available around the same time as the Fordson major?? Thanks Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 3 furrow mounted plough, 4 furrow trailed plough, single flat roller ( individual segments as were:) disc harrow in various frame colours, both could be raised if used with the curious linkage coupler/bracket that came with all E1A Majors, Vicon-Lely Acrobat, tipping trailer with lades, transport box with churns, sacks & bales, muledozer and Lister elevator, from memory , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Shawnee Poole rear dump, only with the Industrial Major, timber trailer and not forgetting the most important implement of all, the driver with pipe in blue or grey. This is all assuming that you mean the E1A Major! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all assuming that you mean the E1A Major! Regarding the pipe smoking driver, if you're going into geek collector mode, look out for: 1961:There were 2 moulds, slight differences in creases at trousers at/below knees and wide/narow underside of boots. 1963 version of both moulds had the word England on the inside of left thigh about 1967: version changed from polythene to PVC plastic about 1969?: cap & boots changed from brown to grey All of the above in blue or grey plastic versions, giving a total of 16 variations. This driver deleted in 1971. (ref: Jonathan Stephens study) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
