Very shiny.
Any of the ones that you needed a shotgun cartridge to start?

No, no Marshalls, Lanz, Deutz or any other single cylinder contraptions. A shame as they are great fun.

If you need an anvil as a counterbalance, they sell them on Amazon

Honest, they do!! 😂

A few old tractors at Rob's Farm, Moulton village & my Brommie..

There were a few more at the back, too, but I couldn't get to them 😔

MF 203 industrial, based on the 35 tractor at rest near the footpath/permissive cycle path? that runs from the Fosse Way to Whitnash, Leamington Spa alongside the railway. Other agricultural treasures moldering in the same field.

I saw this International 444 today. Quite a rare tractor, I can't remember seeing one before in the flesh. I think it was just the 434 tarted up a bit to look like the new World Series. They all had a Synchromesh box and hydrostatic steering. This definitely doesn't have hydrostatic steering and it's clearly a different gearbox from the World Series.

Several old tractors over the weekend..
From the top.
Two working tractors in Tom's Yard, Castleton.

A defunct one on Unthank Lane Farm where we were camping.

Two very shiny restored tractors driving through Gt Longstone, probably on their way to a fête or summat.
