BC Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Farming Yesteryear takes place in the grounds of Scone palace over the weekend of 13 / 14 September 2008. It is probably the largest rally in Scotland and attracts a large number of exhibitors, stall holders and public. There is also a working area but this is not nearly as large or good as the BA event at Lyne of Skene. I think the show is only open to the public on the Sunday.i will be down on the Sunday with either my Farmall Cub or MG2 most likely it will be the Cub.

BC Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well just checked the BBC web for the weather forecast and its to be cloudy in Aberdeen on Saturday and Sunday but heavy rain on Saturday and light rain for Sunday in Perth. I do so so hope they have got it wrong for Perthshire since it will put the dampers on what is a really excellent show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well on Saturday I spent a few hour cleaning up my Farmall Cub for the Scone palace rally on Sunday but it rained here until around 2pm in the afternoon. A phone call to a friend a Scone decidfed me not to take the Cub and instead just hitch on the crawler which would be kept dry and clean for the journey down to Perth. Arrived early at the shop and was veey very muddy and the mist was still rising from behind this Scani loaded with three drotts. Anyway it was a day for the wellingtons but it did stay dry and was quite sunny for the show but movement was heavily restricted. On to the show and the tractor winners in the petrol parafinn section IST IN YEAR OF THE ALLIS CHALMERS A 1939 Allis B from Cumbria PETROL PARAFINN CLASS 1st 1934 blue Fordson 2nd 1934 Case L 3rd Was a Grey fordson - sorry no photo This 1938 Chockshutt 80 was best petrol / parafinn and Best in show at the weekend before at Edzell but it did not take teh judges fancy at Scone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Best International went to a 1952 Farmall M owned by a chap called Harry Ferguson ;D Excellent paint job finsihed however the chap sprays buses and coaches for a living. Despite the excellent paint job there are ( in my opinion ) some things which could be improved upon Better fitting bonnet A correct IH magneto versus the Lucas one and oh the sterring needs a severe ovehaul to get rid of the play A 1952 Davuid brown Super Cropmaster again by Harry Ferguson Another International this time a Farmall MD - petrol engine on one side and diesel on the other.

I don't really know the purpose of it other than me suspects it is for some kinda beach work with these large flotation untreaded tyres. Does anyone else on here know ??? I'll make enquiries though I think I could well meet up with a chap called George Wisner at Lanark in two weeks time and I think it may well have been owned by a friend of his in the past.

I did a google Mark and see there was a story about the restoration of this particular one in Issue 30 of Classic Tractor in October 2003 http://www.classictractormagazine.co.uk/cgi-bin/get_issue.cgi?i=0330Oct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thanks Bill.. I'd better get my hands on a back issue then.... I just love the shape of it really.. looks a real 'purposeful' machine.. especipecially on those tyres... I assume it was a standard tractor as well... not just made for beach work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it was a standard tractor as well... not just made for beach work Too good a question for me to answer off the top of my head Mark...but I will try and look up that back issue to night and see what it says. It's a kinda different being a "banana" colour instead of the usually "orangy" colour normally associated with AC ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 : many nice tractors and trucks over there, thanks for posting, hope you enjoued the day :o Yes there was a good selection especially on the commercial truck section. The day was enjoyable despite the mud. I left around 4pm and it took me 30 minures before I was out on to the main road which was a little fustrating but my friend was worse it took him about 60 minutes. Never mind my made the A4 go like a bat out of hell and was home in just slightly after 6pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
