PART DISPERSAL SALE OF VINTAGE TRACTOR COLLECTION 

  • 1970 County 1124 with mid-mounted crane- vendors comments: This tractor joined the Dave’s Tractors collection about 10 years ago and was purchased from Jeff Hewitt who used it in Wadebridge Boatyard to get boats in and out of the river. He’d purchased it from Haynes Bros of Micheldever in Hampshire some fifteen years before that. Previous to that, it was believed to have been involved with forestry work 

  • 1969 David Brown 990 – vendors comments: Originally from Oxford this tractor was partially restored and then halted when it got to the cab. It really needs a new canvas but, because access wasn’t the easiest, no decision was made and that’s how it stayed- HOT 156G
  • 1971 David Brown 1210 with loader- vendors comments: Very original looking tractor with an unusually sound cab, this one could easily be rallied or put back to work as it is. Fitted with pallet forks, the loader will easily handle a ton or more
  • David Brown 1212 with loader- vendors comments: Another very sound machine with an exceptionally good cab, I bought this one from close to the Silverstone GP circuit about six years ago. Again, this tractor could easily be used for work or play with very little effort
  • 1981 David Brown 1490
  • Fordson Standard N fitted with Perkins Diesel Engine- vendors comments: This tractor was partially converted by my old friend Ticker Haines. Unfortunately, he contracted cancer and passed away before he could complete it. His family offered it to me to finish and, although it probably took two years to find the missing pieces, it’s all together now and would make an excellent ploughing tractor    
  • 1955 Fordson Diesel Major with front mounted welder- vendors comments: This was found in a hedge near Camelford in 2018 and was in a very bad state. Surprisingly, the engine started  but the welder was beyond saving. Luckily, I was able to locate a replacement to complete the restoration and it was shown at the Royal Cornwall Show in 2019 (featured Tractor Magazine December 2019)
  • 1952 Fordson Diesel Major, no hydraulics or PTO- vendors comments: This tractor was sold new by Sprys of Launceston as a replacement for a Standard Fordson. Since the man that bought it had no mounted or PTO driven machines to put behind it, he saw no sense in buying hydraulics or PTO on his new tractor
  • 1959 Fordson Dexta- vendors comments: Sold by Sprys to the same farmer as the Major above, this one was traded for an E27N which had got a PTO but the Dexta probably wasn’t available without anyway. Interestingly, the farmer concerned went to America for ten years and took this tractor with him on the Queen Elizabeth. When he came back, it was again aboard the Queen Elizabeth and the tractor came with him
  • 1961 Fordson Super Major with Cooks two speed winch- vendors comments:  used in Falmouth Docks for many years, this tractor was in a very bad state when found. Many thought it would never go again but, with help from another donor tractor found in the same hedge, we managed to get it going. The winch was a challenge but is all free and working. It will need some plating for strength and some operating levers which are beyond saving
  • 1969 Leyland 384- vendors comments:  Good sound tractor that starts easily, there was a problem with the wiring and, in a fit of pique, the previous owner ripped it all out with the intention of starting again. It never happened and I bought it as part of a job lot, put it in the shed, and haven’t touched it since  
  • 1974 Leyland 255- vendors comments: I bought this one sight unseen which was being sold because the head gasket had gone. We brought it home, replaced the gasket and all was well. Suitable for restoration or go back to work, this tractor has power steering and a pick up hitch. All panels and doors are included
  • 1960 Massey Ferguson 97, 4WD- vendors comments: Badge engineered version of a Minneapolis Moline, these tractors were used mainly for drawbar work in America. This one was brought back from Canada by Jason Smith from Yeovil who sold it to Peter Lobb of Summercourt. Sadly, Peter passed away and, after a short spell in the ownership of Timmy Michell it passed over to me and has been in my shed ever since. The unusual feature on this tractor is the 4WD because the majority were sent out as 2WD units. The 4WD axles were usually reconditioned units salvaged from American GMC wartime trucks
  • 1960 Massey Ferguson 65- vendors comments: I bought this one as part of an exchange deal on a Mercedes van. Mechanically very good, little work is needed to bring this up to rally spec. Although the brakes work well, one does have a nasty habit of locking on so does need some minor attention before attempting a road run
  • Winget Transformer Dumper, 4WD- vendors comments: Put together by ourselves, we used many years either fencing or installing play equipment. Fitted with pallet forks, a hydraulic auger, combination water tank/rear weight, the engine could always be relied on to start on the first touch of the key
