Tudor, stocking, aj, ring any bells?

yep remember them well,..i take it you were of that era also?

 

[Hurdle bunter]

No, not really, I'm not far from the ground they farmed at upton magna, dad, stocking and aj worked together many moons ago, Dad did 2 seasons of planting( '97 and '98 I think) when he packed up milking and I did bits there as well. What tractor did stocking have then, magnum or 70 series?
