Found a Major plus few other bits.

[JLTate]

Found a Power Major in a shed. Gentleman had owned it from new. Came with rear digger.

Few things been changed over the years but by and large it’s pretty original.

Also found a 4 + 1 Dowdeswell to go behind TW.

Plus a few other bits.

Need new shed built quickly

Said this year I’d concentrate on what I had. Vicki wasn’t impressed.

But it would have been rude not to.....

Is that the original major wheels in the back of the shed in last picture?

 

[agrimax]

All looks straight but well used. Super M wheels and mudguards at some stage......
Major doesn't look to have a second auxiliary valve fitted.Wonder how the digger gets a constant oil feed without the lift arms having to be at the top all of the time?

Yes that’s it. Tyres are buggered on them though.

Yeah she’s definitely well used. Starts / runs well though. It wasn’t much money and I think will clean up pretty well. Hopefully.

Very nice.
Number plate be worth a few quid on its own, if the major still has a current logbook.

May be wrong but I think you need a currant MOT on any vehicle to have its plate transferred, unless the plates already on retention.

 

[Lincs Lass]

The TW will easily pull that plough ,the DP7 wasnt too heavy

 

[Zebbedee]

Yea canna transfer a tractor number plate I,m afraid

 

[JLTate]

Yeah still got buff V5. Will apply for a lost V5 to keep the original.

The chap had some lovely kit

A McConnell back actor? had one here that my father did a hell of a lot of work with, mostly drainage. Had that many oil leaks his coat was waterproof, would almost stand up on it's own.

If you go to shift it & it's works like ours ( maybe ours wasn't quite right like everything else back then ) it won't slew on it's own, you need to use one of the other levers along with it to make it slew.

its worth nothing non transferable

 

[JLTate]

Back actor will be sold. We’ve had one, no desire for another

Reg value is irrelevant. It’s the tractors history so wouldn’t be removed if I could.

Collecting everything this weekend so will post better pictures
