Wardner - re fast hitch photos on the next page?

For those who don't know about Field Marshalls, they are a 40hp, single cylinder, two stroke, diesel. They were imported into Canada. I am guessing not more than 2000. I think most of them found their way to small grain country. It starts with a specially loaded shotgun shell and a whack with a hammer on the firing pin protruding from the starter chamber. As you might guess, I have not started that tractor.

Parts are still available from a successor company in East England. I would like to restore it, but it is way down on my priority list. I would be willing to listen to offers.

You can also start it with a crank which is an even more alarming operation than using the starting shells (if you do feel inclined to give the shells method a go be very wary as the pipes to the cylinder head that you put the cartridges in have been known to explode after becoming corroded). They use the biggest starting handle I've ever seen and where one good strong person is good, two are even better. On the other hand they sound wonderful once you get them started.

Does it have a winch on the back or just a straight drawbar?

Thanks, tractorsam

We are not that far apart. Hop on the ferry and come to Tewksbury, MA 01876. I have all the sheet metal and some spares. Missing one front wheel.
