BC Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I took this pic at the show....not sure what model it is though I would say this is a standard blue fordson commonly known as the "water washer fordson" since its air cleaner was filled with water (see below fuel tank) . I would say around about 1937 or there abouts. I remember my grandads one however it had wide wings and the wheels were different. The rears look kind of industrial? The model is a Fordson E27N which was based on many of the original standard fordson parts but was higher and had bigger wheels. After the blue standard fordsons there were yellow / orange and green (don't quote me on the order). Ford did not spend much on retooling when they made the E27N and by all accounts they were seen as not a very good working tractor since they guzzled paraffin and hadn't very good wheel grip. I'm not a fan of the old Ford tractors and much prefer the better engineered International Farmalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 nice find mate, looks pretty good as it is doesnt it,bar the front axel, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 I think the roller may even be home made,it has that look about it but its still nice.I have now cleaned the tractor and it looks even better. I was pleased because there are lots of lead pieces which I haven't got. It was a bargain at ?25.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I think the roller may even be home made,it has that look about it but its still nice.I have now cleaned the tractor and it looks even better. I was pleased because there are lots of lead pieces which I haven't got. It was a bargain at ?25.00. I don't think it is home made. There are quite a few differant implements along these lines. Some of them very strange to look at, meaning not obvious or apparent what they are supposed to be or do When you come across one of these you will know what I mean! Is the bit of harness made out of plastic? A nice bargain there 1972, buy it now by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 I was actually the one and only bidder,the start price was ?25.00 with ?5.00 postage.Some of the animals are really tidy. The harness is plastic on the roller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I never saw it but then I don't look at the same time every day and also get a bit bord looking at the same old rubbish stuff, especially when I look at the last 2 days worth of new items as I've seen some of it already I see there is another Robilt item on there, boxed again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 New axle now fitted,struggling to find room in the cabinet though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Nice, fast, work '72. Can you have a word with the driver, he's a bit clumsey with his steel toecapped boots and is taking the paint off of the inner wing , dock him a few shillings that'll learn him ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Yes,its funny how the wing has gone like that. It looks to me as though in the past it has been bent and a big flake of paint has gone. Its a shame really because the rest is quite good.
