[QUOTE="Henk, post: 7152198, member: 39486"] The difference between the FR EP and a Ransomes plough is that the legs and part of the frame are casted steel. The legs are machined and drilled afther casting. Therefore in better shape (smaler tolerance) than the heated and pressed parts of Ransomes. Ransomes legs wil not fit on a FR EP and the other way around. Some say a the EP is an Ransomes plough, but the casted parts are made at the Ford foundry and assembled at the Ford factory or foundry using Ransomes plough body's. I think because they had a larger capacity than needed at the time. Afther a view years more Ransomes parts were used and less casted Ford parts. Mine is an early model. It has the depth wheel from a Ford Elite trailed plough. Found four others here in the Netherlands so far. Will put some pictures here. [/QUOTE]
