Them were the days when tractor drivers wore jackets left over from Bomber Command to keep warm. We had a matching pair of sheepskin trousers that dad misappropriated at the end of the war. they had electric heating elements in them to keep you toastie on your E27N

Any luck in your rummage
One or two items....:whistle:
Probably of most interest to yourself would be....
circa 1970's sales leaflets for MF165, 185 and 188.
MF35, MF165, MF595 and Ford 5000 instruction books.
1977 & 1983 MF pocket catalogues (listing full range of tractors and implements)
Plus a load of other stuff - the most notable of which is a set of instruction books for a 1949 David Brown Cropmaster (in hardback:D)

Can't put any pics up as I don't have a camera phone, but if anybody wants a look at anything, I'll get Mrs YB to take some tomorrow.
