@balmesh Can't say that i do but then don't get me wrong , I am not knocking what it looks like . Nothing wrong in that department . What happened to the orginal , did it just rust out over the years ?
@balmesh Put my hands up . Looks like I am wrong about the front . When I say not original i meant not the right one , but it is the right one all be it not the right colour . Despite being a big time Nuffield / Leyland Marshall fan never have I noticed that the lower part of the grill is a different to the upper part . So what I said was wrong thus making me feel a right prat . Though unless some were made like that then it should be black or so all the ones I've seen are .
Nice one Alan. Wild to think that Nuffield and jf was big stuff in its day. Its like when my dad bought his ford 2000, a nieghbour comented that he must be going to start contracting. Big changes!
Awesome tractors driven a few leylands the 272 and the 285. My best mate in school who lived on a farm had leylands and nuffields they had a nuffield 10/60 they converted it to a six cylinder which they put on the harvester..
The great thing we oldies remember about the Nuffield Universal was the adjustable axle. The wheel slid in and out on a long axle which projected 6" beyond the wheels. Easy to take out a tractor shed pillar or strut! . . . . Alan
Thanks Wayne. I remember them, too, but they were slow compared to throwing them up by hand! The Nuffield was built by Austin/Morris and named after the village where the owner started his business mending bikes! Leyland and Marshall reflect different owners subsequently. They went out of business about 20 years ago.
I see that Marshall 100 / 4 has a restyled front , or certainly the lower half is .

Great vintage tractor video, 5* The Nuffield tractors look a lot like a old Allis Chalmers WC & WD tractors even in paint color..

Nice one Alan,
I have not seen a side bale loader like that since the late 40's early 1950's
one of my jobs was lining up the bales in the field just for that action.
Don't remember seeing a Marshall or a Nufield tractor before
