Thanks sirs point taken epics are horrible.
Honestly didn't think they were epic s when I was there but the frog number matches.

But if the plough ( which I've never seen ) is on Yl s and right money then my be a safe investment. ??.
Aint eating owt.
Thanks again these sort of forum's are a very good pool of knowledge.

yes YL's are good investment, be prepared to pay more for YL 183, the 165's are a shallower board and won't sell so well if you decided to cash it in.

While on the subject of TCN's...

Someone told me once that there were infact two types of TCN, the standard TCN and a 'special' TCN that were fitted in very low numbers, mainly to match ploughs...

Can someone confirm whether this is myth or fact?

Click to expand...

Mainly myth, the wording was something like " TS 86 match plough fitted with modified TCN bodies", the only modification was a one piece share, however................................... early TCN's are a little narrower in the breast, towards the back end of the board the later ones seem to have half an inch more metal top and bottom, to me it makes no difference to performance though
