Hope you've dusted down your ear muffs
Great memories of 75's, 90's and 120's working on the strong land farms round here

Pity they had to make the135 - that's when it all started to go wrong

The old Britannia Works where they were made is a fudging shopping centre now

I expect there's a yard full at Crawfords at the end of the 6 mile straight at Carrington.

I take it The 135 was "A bit of a lemon" ?

We had a customer who had one. The year he retired, we did all the ploughing there as he daren't risk using it and incurring another big repair bill before his farm sale

They upped the power (to 135hp) which meant bigger ploughs/implements and that led to transmission/final drive problems, IIRC.
It was a great shame to see the demise of a once great local company with such a long history.

Pleased to see @rob h has one that's still keeping the flag flying

Nice machine seen a few back in the summer in North Norfolk used for pulling fishing boats out of the sea. What power would yours be?

I remember the Britannia looked a useful little crawler but apparently not many were made .

 

[john432]

Could I suppose sell mine? Early 135, but plate says that it went back to the factory for the upgrade to 155, stronger bearings etc in the final drives. The experts can tell by the concave of the drive sprockets
I think. Pto on it, was going to try the 4m power harrow on one day. Track chains and sprockets ,rollers like new!

 

[startinghandle]

hello john 432 would you sell your crawler

 

[john432]

To be honest, all it's done is pull the flatlift subsoiler, haven't got a suitable plough, think I'd probably be wiser to cash it in and put the money towards a big 200hp tractor. Was going to do some lime spreading on banks with it, but this autumn became a wash out!

 

[startinghandle]

what is price??
