I was at an indoor tractor show in Newark England back at the beginning of November, I took a few pics for you guys but my photo upload went real slow and I kinda forgot about it.....Now in the depth of winter and with all this cabin fever, might be a good time to post these photos?
I have both American built imports and British built tractors, which would you prefer to see?

That little Deere sure looks a lot sharper than the one I've beaten the tar out of over the last 32 years.
 
BMD did not use the gasoline start mode; it was direct start on
diesel. There were a few of the British made Farmalls sold in
the southern US.
 
Liking the pics Sam . Wouldn't mind seeing more of the little David Brown. That 147 is real sharp. What are they compared to a 135?
 
Thanks for the pictures, my favorite of all is the Massey Ferguson. Beautiful work in all of them.Keep the pictures coming.

The Massey 147 is basically a vinyard, real narrow version of the diesel 135, built in Spain during some tie up between MF and Ebro. Interesting thing about this is that Ebro were the main Fordson importer in Spain and later they built Fordson Majors under license from Ford. When they started building Masseys they built some real ba$tard tractors like the Massey Ferguson 155 which was really the old dinosaur Fordson Major fitted with Massey 100 series tinwork and painted in MF colours. After they went to building tractors on their own they brought out the fordson major stuff again, using the rear axle and gearbox fitted to a 6 cylinder Perkins engine and MF front axle and wheels, but fitted with tinwork that looked like the MF 200 series, only painted light blue! The Worlds most copied tractor?????
