My uncle had the bigger Allis Chalmers WF that came over in 1942 on the American Lend-Lease scheme. It was the only tractor on his farm until the early 1960’s

Isn’t that just fabulous!

All arrived safely yesterday.
Thanks Thomas!

No roll cage?
I thought it was going to be your “rallying “ exploits from yesterday!

Hi Dave,
Check and if necessary change your engine and gearbox mounts as well, if there’s excessive movement in those it can also spoil the gear change.

Hi Thomas,
Just paid £25 for subs, key ring and sticker.
Well done for putting up with us all for 20 years - here's to the next 20!
Cheers!

Yes!
It was moved into Sports Libre as it doesn’t comply with the Modified Production Car regs.
