robbo Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Great photos, I believe that David (Walter Derwent) and his partner were there today, hopefull he will add a few of his to this thread. I understand there were 143 Ford tractors on the go which would have been quite a sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAWN Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 It was a good turn out with the weather holding out until later on and definitely heaven for blue fans it would be nice to see more events like this much better than seeing shiny new kit parked in rows on dealer stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAWN Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for the comments, it was nice to see all the older gear in such good condition especially tractors like this county /40series with its mid mounted gear sticks,something you don't see everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it have dual power? I wonder if the one buried in the Falklands was ever dug back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAWN Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Surprised me to see them poking up from the floor, not sure if it dual power or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 That's the one mark. A horrible sight,on par with the photo of the 1884 that had cought fire an completely burned out. It was buried over there at the time but there was talk of it being dug back up and restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Did you not "click" on Marks hyperlink Martin,the County left in the Falklands is beyond repair apparently,certainly looks like it in the picture,must have had big boots though, picture from Classic tractor magazine.
