[QUOTE="Roy Stokes, post: 1384430, member: 632"] Not actually a Ransomes but a "Ford Ransomes" based on the Sherman (Ford Ferguson) brothers frame design cast and built at Ford's Leamington Foundry, it uses Ransomes wearing metal and most I have seen carry EPIC mouldboards as yours does, but can be found with YL or FRDCP ( Ford Ransomes Double Chilled Plough) mouldboards. As the casting suggests it is a PM3, designed to be used with the Major E27N when fitted with 3 point linkage, these ploughs were a pig of a thing being very short point to point clearance and no where near as good for modifying for match ploughing as it's sister plough, the Ransomes TS 59 was due to the PM's cast frame not being as easy to cut down at the headstock, however they have some very good points as well and those ACME threads on the adjusting handles are very useful when plough building as are the cast handle tops with "wide" and " deep" written on them in the casting mould If you are looking for a value for it I am afraid it will revolve around a price per ton !
