That is a fantastic specimen of a TW15 but looks like Jeff is wearing earmuffs - he should be listening to that lovely Ford 6cyl roar ;D

i guess its ok for 1/2 hrs but if your in any off the older tractors when they are being worked hard like that it must hurt your ears, most wernt really up to the standards when they were built were they, ct mags ford and mf development bits mentioned that

great looking machine very clean for its age
