Was a nice day for it.

Noisy.....outside, yes, but 'proper' noise.
Inside.....no different to when it had muffler that sadly had just about rotted away.
This day made her grunt and shout

though !! Just had one go to at it, only for fun.

Seeing those pics has just confirmed what i thought initially.
It is what's known as a 'Western' model. Cast center front wheels, wheel weights on inside of rear wheels, cast center rears, but not PAVT. The front axle will be non adjustable, and no 3 point linkage. Also the rear half shafts will have been shortened to get it in a container for shipping.
Still a nice example with that period cab.

Yes, I think it would be Western Farm Implements? Didn't they advertise in FW every week? My uncles' MF dealer anyway (Hinckley area).
