Is the 'David Brown' Transfer shown on the back of this plough available through the club shop? If not, can i ask where you found yours?

| Eric. I made the lettering for the plough from white sticky-backed plastic as there were traces of the original still visible. |

Were the skims the same as well ?
The spring legs are not the correct ones but were the only type I could find at the time. The disc coulter assemblies should be the same as fitted to the BH type plough with the arm that carries the skim, this will be corrected when and if I find a correct set. |

I never liked the "over the arm" skims. Done enough with a Fergy plough to know that if you had got a fair lot of rubbish or long stubble then you would struggle to bury the rubbish.
I can understand why you want to get it back to how it should be though. |

Scooby, yes, I would like to, and intend to return it to original spec but I must admit that I do like the spring-leg coulter arms as down here we have a lot of big granite rocks in the fields and they do have a good bit of 'give' if you strike a rock but having said that, we are used to the rocks and plough with according caution and of course, having ploughed the same ground for fourty-odd years, you get to know where the rocks are and are able to cope with them. Ploughing is an art and if you can plough a 5 acre field with 40 rocks visible and just under the surface of it, it takes that art to a totally different level. |

| Apparently Duncan, although I did not go, a mate of mine said that the plough was a C type. It sold for £400. |

There was a 1410 4WD with a 1490 engine on ebay a few months ago, i remember it made mega money the first time, then it was relisted from a different location by a different ebayer and made nowhere near what it did the first time. Looked a bit suspicious to me!

I bet the kramer axle was suffering due to the loader!! |

the final drives had been turned slightly to level the tractor up |
