Nice tractor but the front axles were poorly designed. The 2 bolts hold all the weight at the knees if they had put them in so they fit the tube and the bolts just held the knees from sliding in or out it would have been pretty good. Probably was fine without a loader on it. The trouble is 2 3/4 bolts can't hold the weight of a loader plus the load in the bucket. We now just use regular bolts and let it work. The holes in the bottom ar to fit the head of the bolts with a round head and 2 flats to tighten them up.

fun.

I see a corncrib in the backround. Guess that will have to do as a 'welcome to the crib' I missed yesterday.

Wish I could stumble into one of those for the right price.

They had some nice looks in that era of Red.

All UK built tractors were supplied with the heavy duty straight front axle. MJ
