Hi Guys A little late I know but Happy Christmas to everyone.Just spent the last day or so with family and friends doing all the usual things like exchanging prsents, eating and drinking too much, great time for all involved. The greatest part of all though is having some quality time rather than the usual pressure of working life. I remember when I was growing up on the farm and Christmas was just another day as animals didnt know they shouldnt need fed and watered on this special day but now its all different as I now have an office type job. So why am I and so many other guys so interested in old tractors? Well what started it for me I think was the sight, sounds and smell of the old Fordson N along with a Grey Ferguson we used on the farm (a whole 60 acres). Later it was the sounds and sights of models such as the Fordson e27n Perkins 6 cylinder diesel, Field Marshall and MM with the Dorman diesel that were used by our local agriculural contractors. On leaving school I lost interest in tractors and went to build ships for a living. Years later I went along to a local vintage show and found myself interested once more. A tractor was needed and eventually I purchased an International B450 befor moving onto an Allise B followed by a Fordson P6. In recent years I have become interested in big American and Canadian diesels which I have purchased and brought back to Scotland. I now have a fairly varied collection but I am still trying to reach the end of my imaginery shopping list much like other tractor enthusiasts. Are you guys interested in machines from other countries or just your own manufactures? Anway that my brief story, so what excuse does evryone else have? My son is now showing some interest and is looking for a Fordson e27n Perkins 6 cylinder diesel or Ford County, does anyone have either of these for sale even a none runner but complete example? Please contact me if you know of anything that might be suitable. Thanks for all the advice and help received through the forum during 2007 and have a great fesive time and all the best for 2008.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
