[QUOTE="joe soapy, post: 5320286, member: 196"] 1952/53, when i was 4 05 years old, Watkins and Roseveare delivered a brand new Nuffield universal, TVO, no pto or hyd. lorry had 2 planks to unload the tractor but the driver was afraid to drive the tractor down them. Chap called Frank Davis who lived in the village volunteered to drive it off in front of a small crowd. Once on the ground, a few jumped on and a few laps around the mooey were done. Was a big innovation at the time not having to run some petrol through the carb before stopping. the axles had to be sawn off soon after, and a non live drive pto fitted after a round baler was purchased. Only repairs i can remenber was when the timing slipped when using the starting handle, did most of the heavy work till it was traded in 1966 was quite fast on the road. 66 must have been a very good year there were more D reg tractors sold that year than ever before [/QUOTE]
