Very nice purchase zac, those bloody rear windows always broke though 

I've seen several go from others, and at £500 for a new back one it soon adds up, i got mine a lot cheaper though luckily

Nice little trundle around the village this evening in the ED-40. Good looking tractor if ever there is one!

[Dusty Dan]

And a great looking tractor to be sure, also a very nice photo! 

[Anderson Agri]

Nice little 5 mile trip out in the ed40 to enjoy the sun today. Ran well. Got back and did a little cultivating with it then the clutch gave out 

 

[Anderson Agri]

Also got the 7710 and 262 out in the sun

[Anderson Agri]

Newest addition yesterday. Jones Super Star baler and sledge. 

[Anderson Agri]

Another new toy this evening. A Bomford Superflow for the 7710. See it in action at the Big Ford Working Day in May  near Devizes

Thats the problem at the moment!!! Wait and see Sunday what else is coming ha ha!! Been an expensive week to say the least. Put another 2 bays on the front of the shed today got the framework sorted just the cladding and roof to go on, then possibly another bay on the side for the baler

[Tractorman810]

well we all know who to blame for the rain forest going,all that timber i could have built a new  shard or something  

[Anderson Agri]

Ah tisn't too much of a biggun mind!

Only 6m2 currently, all wooden apart from Roof. Its getting there and will hopefully keep the tractors in the dry as well as the hay in the summer

I wish it had a loader, desperately needed. Im gutted as 2 weeks ago i seen a loader at a sortout for one for £125 all complete with a bucket, but i thought its too small for my leyland so left it. 2 weeks on and i bought a tractor it was meant for.. So annoyed

 

[Tractorman810]

usually the way mate, one to fit the leyland or ford should be easy enough to find though.

[Anderson Agri]

Well its Finally here, a 1970's Leyland 154 with 600 hours on the clock, which are believed to be genuine. Local tractor bought to a house 6 miles from my house for mowing, and sat idle for 20 years before joining a local collector who used it a bit at hay, It comes with a full set of brand new (or very nearly new) Goodyear tyres which came with the tractor originally but never fitted due to the turf tyres being fitted, it has been replaced with lorry tyres on the rear but i'm going to replace them with the proper ones hopefully next weekend.

Definitely. Question is do I respray the time first or fit them as are. 1 is better than other and worse one is really rusty but only on surface.  Need a pair of front rims too as want to be able to swap between ag and  turf should I need it.

I'd say give them a spray before you fit them Zac, makes sense then it's a job done that can be forgotten about,  there's nowt to say the new fronts might not need a tickle and a spray so might be better to do the lot 

[Tractorman810]

i guess your next dilema is ,silver as they are now,or yellow as per the current ones fitted. what would the industrial ones normally have hub colour wise, the one i pass every now and then,a 285 i think ,  with loader,is all yellow inc loader and hubs,on agri tyres, looks to have always been that colour and not resprayed 

[Valley Axe Man]

According to the page of the 154 brochure that shows a couple of the yellow highway tractors, they want to be silver wheels Sean  

[Anderson Agri]

As Paul says they should be silver with Yellow hubs. The ones fitted at the moment are the original front rims painted yellow but the rears custom made to take lorry tyres. I'm going to keep them as are and get another pair of front rims so I've got the choice between both, seems silly for 150 quid to keep changing the front tyres over each time. 

[Tractorman810]

i have only seen one yellow before yours zac,the one i pass occasionally ,   so wasnt 100% sure to be honest . it looks origonal so i asumed thats what the hubs came as
