That's a credit to its previous ownerToday is nothing really to do with farming, but I thought it was as good a place as anywhere to put some photos...
Mrs S and I had a ride out to the David Brown Tractor Club museum at Meltham today, quite literally opposite the factory that used to build DB Tractors. There was a open day of their museum and a auction of all things DB, brought in by various members, auctioned off to others.
Well, when I got there I saw a tractor, and ended up buying it at the auction, a David Brown 1212, very similar to our own that is awaiting a head gasket at the moment.

I saw it, and fell in love with the thing, thinking that it was a very tidy, well kept, original thing. At the auction, I ended up buying it!!

Because I'm a sadcase on an industrial scale, I could not help but drive it over to the factory carpark to take a few photos. The building is obviously nothing to do with the tractors any further, the buildings now house various businesses, including a heat treatment company, who built their business on the skills gained while DB ran the show.

I assume that it is 43 years since this old girl drove through these gates... I wonder what will have happened in the next 43 years...?
