A hot rod Nuffield!

A Ferguson-Brown, the great grandfather of modern tractors.

Few people probably know that Porsche made diesel tractors in the 1950s.

My first thought was "what idiot painted his International in gold," but actually, it's a very rare tractor.

The smallest digger I have ever seen! Perfect for building sandcastles at the beach!

It's a manual mortising machine with hand drill attachment. I made many doors & windows in my youth with a similar machine. A fixed chisel is punched down into timber to cut the mortice, you end up with a right arm bigger than popeye if used regularly.

My Super Dexta, and it's offspring, a Ford 3000 sitting behind it.

A couple of tractors used to pull, drag or push the wrecked cars of Brafield Banger racing track 🏁

An FE-35 with the Standard 23c diesel engine. This tractor really should be grey and gold as I believe it predates the Massey-Harris merger. Just one of several old lightweight tractors I seen today, still earning their keep on the bog.

Someone has been spending money on new starter and dynamo.

A brace of abandoned tractors at Throwley Hall farm, Derbyshire, spotted on today's bimble.
