A beautiful example! Sounds like she's running like a swiss watch!

Hey sorry about the question, but would you mind revealing what type/viscosity of oil do you run in her? Thanks a million =)

[Bevoin1970]

Thanks for the nice comments.

She is running on 20 / 50 Mineral oil for classic engines at the moment...

Quite easy to get hold of....

Get the Tractor and Machinery magazine, comes out each month, in there is the name and address of a chap who lives in South Wales, he does spare parts. Hope this helps.

Yes, to answer your question - the driver DID restore it! He also didn't know he'd end up on you tube.... I hope you're enjoying your new 'toy'.

Regards, Nat.

Hi Nat, just got back from yet another show, been driving around a huge field all weekend near Market Harborough with lots of other big Caterpillar's and other crawlers, working the land, I had the smallest. Great fun apart from leaking oil a bit mine ran all weekend and never missed a beat.

Regards Paul.

thats a really nice tractor and it purrs like a kitten does it have a pto shaft and how much did you pay for yours?

[Bevoin1970]

Yes it has a PTO shaft, not answering the rest, my missus would then know :-))

This is the first Ive ever seen of one of these crawlers. I'm envieous. 5*

[Bevoin1970]

This particular one would have been made in 1950 give or take a bit, they were used in small Market Gardens. Various cultivating implements could be bolted to the toolbar on the rear of the tractor to work the soil. I must admit they do have a certain appeal... I'd never seen one before. Thanks for watching and rating Walter.

[Bevoin1970]

Thanks.

[sprinter977]

it runs good again after more 50 years :-)

[Bevoin1970]

Ah yes, that's because it is a simple engine with no modern computer chip to go wrong. This will last forever if looked after.

Thanks for watching.
