Thanks not our preferred choice but a very period replacement of the time
Crossplys could never put the power down effectively
Crossplys in good years look the best but we can't have everything

Dont think ford had any manufacturing in Belgium then, I think every 3/4 cylinder tractor in the world came out of Baslidon.

They made the Ford 2000 - 7000 series in Antwerp. Also the TW series if I'm correct. Maybe someone else knows the complete history?

Just back from the paint shop having been blast cleaned and painted.

Takes me back to my youth!, took an "L" reg one into Lincs motors at caistor, and brought a new "N " reg one back, had to put up with the manifold and exhaust paint burning off all the way home!

Yes it's a rather worrying smell is burning paint
When I take them for run out after painting
Your hearts in your mouth as the smells are quite strange

I keep stopping just to check the wiring isn't smouldering

And I think it's finished
