rubbatiti Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hello all, well I've finally got around to actually registering and stuff after an age skirting around the periphery and just reading the forum etc. I've a long standing interest in military matters (mainly WW1, WW2 and the Korean War) which started with really just being into the hardware but which then matured into the whys and wherefores of it all. At the moment I don't own anything military with wheels or tracks, my space available is taken up with 2 Ferguson tractors (a 1947 TE20 Continental and a 1949 TED20 for those interested in ploughshares as well as swords!:-D) I do have serious hankering for a Jeep or Series 1 Land Rover though, it's only money after all...

paul_bish Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Welcome on board. Nice selection of tractors, the old man has a Nuffield 10/60 and a newer Leyland but not sure of the model on that one. Always buying new implements on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Welcome Alan. The military did and do use tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbatiti Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thanks for the welcome! The Nuffield 10/60 is a lovely beast, large and powerful for its time, and has that beautiful smooth BMC diesel as well. There are a few ex-military Ferguson TE20s about, although due to the Fergusons lightness, not really suitable for heavy haulage unlike the more often seen David Browns and tracked RAF Roadless Fordsons, the FAA also had a few Fordsons with Brockhouse torque converter transmissions too.
