Nice collection! Mine is not exactly vintage at 35 years old, plus it's Japanese and 4wd. I would love to add something like an old Fergy to the stable but I've got no room.

Only a couple - Old Massey 65 which I was seen on on Countryfile last summer, and 1950s International crawler in the back of the barn to be done up one day.

Sadly not any longer, but had:

Ransomes MG crawler mk2
Ford Dexta
Cropmaster TVO
Leyland mini tractor

Now I need a pedestrian flail mower, if anyone has one unloved!

I've got a 1956 fordson Major sat in the shed, it was my grandads until he passed away,
I restored it in 2004.

My dad did a complete nut and bolt rebuild on a Fergie 135 which I have taken to a few local shows.

I've also got a soft spot for Stationary engines, my favorite is a 1922 1.5hp Petter, I can watch it run all day long! Laughing
British engenering at it's best.

I love anything to do with our agricultural herritage.

I used to own a 1950 E27N, as seen below when I collected it. Now the only old and eccentric vehicles I own (apart from Land-Rovers) are a 1961 Iron Fairy 6 mobile crane, and a 1908 steam railway breakdown crane.

This is a great thread to read through and look at.
Sadly, I can't put any input into it myself though.

1961 MF35 and 1966 MF135 for me. Take me back to my teenage years, working on farm at weekends.

Now used for wood collecting, cutting and splitting. Also do a bit of topping.

OK, though my apologies in advance since this is rather straying from vintage tractors!

1961 Iron Fairy 6 mobile crane. Lifts 6 tons, weighs about 11 tons, BMC 5.7 litre diesel engine, rear wheel steering, road legal, top speed about 15mph. A very handy tool if you need that sort of thing.






1908 Ransomes & Rapier steam crane, from an historic perspective this is probably the most important crane of its type to survive in the UK being the first truly modern such machine. Designed to lift 36 tons, actual capacity in excess of 50 tons, weight around 120 tons. Bought in a moment of utter madness by me after narrowly excaping the scrap man, and currently in the early stages of a depressingly expensive and extremely protracted restoration (it really is too big and too expensive a project for one person, sadly, but hopefully I'll get there one day). This is an archive photo from my collection taken probably in the 1950s, since currently the crane is partly dismantled and in dire need of paint - it doesn't look too good at the moment. Sad

If there are any wealthy and generous forum members who'd like to donate maybe 10k to 20k towards its restoration, please feel free to get in touch!

Wow Shocked I honestly didn't expect it to be one of those or one that big. I'm very impressed but I've got to ask - where do you store such a thing?!

I've got a real thing for breakdown cranes and am just starting to read volume 1 of Peter Tatlows tome on the subject. I was also lucky enough to see the 45t R&R crane in operation at Ropley a few weeks ago, which was pretty cool. Darren

Sorry, the Iron Fairy is fantastic too, and I can see why you'd want to own such a thing Smile Darren
