Hi. This was actually a very good 1st?? generation deisel machine. Very few appear to have been exported simply because the home agricultural system bought them as fast as they were produced. Just consider it. Almost 50% more power than the TVO E27N. 3 point hydrualics. two companies(at least) were producing Six speed conversions. Very Economical for its era. Easy start usually in all conditions. Genuine three furrow tractor. Worked equally well on rubber or iron wheels It was only produced privately on the back of the E27N at first. Then Fordson made/converted them at factory level. They were certainely on a par with anything else being produced at the time. only one serious downer. No power steering. A day with a front loader was an absolute killer. Good machine but I actually disliked them, why? dunno just did. As for buying one--- they come up quite often for sale in the Tractor and Machinery Mag(comic). If you are in UK you are looking at something in the region of £6000+ for a good one in running order.
