I've often thought, what with walling wearing away my finger ends and being covered in super glue, I'd be the perfect criminal - no fingerprints!

Valley Axe Man Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Grand job again John am i right in thinking the 1394's were a blown 4 pot about 80hp in and about the same as an 804? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Thanks Paul, yes the 1394 had a blower on as well, but was a bit smaller than the Marshall, the Case being 72hp. From what I recall of them in their day they were still a pokey little tractor but the 2wd's were terribly light on the front end.....a snatchy gear change going up a hill with a couple of hundred little bales on the back often saw the front wheels heading skyward!

Cheers for the info John seemed to recall they were blown but my knowledge of the Browns and Cases isn't very vast, nobody knows everything despite what they might think they know, but as they say every day is a school day and the day you stop learning is the day you have your appointment with the reaper..... sounds as though your talking from experience then did you master steering with the independants whilst the fronts were airbourne?

Sounds a bit like my kids there Paul, I've often said i wish i knew a fraction of what they "think" they know Yes, plenty of experience of that as a young lad, the first time it happened I was a bit shocked to say the least, but then being about 17 it soon became an essential part of every load back......
