The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi all,
I am new to this site and wondered if anyone can help.
My dad several years ago restored his fordson chaseside tractor and I am looking for information as to how many others are still around in the uk as I have only seen a photo of one other to date so presume they are quite rare ?
My dads tractor has good solid tin work, has 4 new tyres on the rear axle and 2 new tyres on the front axle ( which I believe cost a fortune). The tractor still starts, drives and is in full operation but would benefit from another paint job!
Any info on these machines would be appreciated.
Regards.
Mike

Any pictures of this machine would be welcome.

I will post a photo as soon as possible.

Can someone please tell me what i need to do to post a photo on this site as there are no attachments etc???

Hi guys,
Here are the photos of my dads Fordson chaseside tractor.
He is thinking about selling this machine, so any info would be appreciated.

Wow! Looks like it's in great condition!

Are you sure he want to sell it
He is going to regret it.

Great machine

A tractor like yours should never be sold , it should be inherited

Thanks for your kind words
Dad restored this machine some 8 - 10 years ago. All in good working order with great tin work, all glass been renewed and the bucket/ winching mechanism works well as it should.
Brand new tyres have been fitted and it just finishes it off well.
We have the log book for this tractor too.
I am thinking these machines are very rare as i have not seen any others in the flesh but seen a photo of a one which was in a bad state a few years ago.
Has anyone any ideas on what sort of price this chaseside would be worth?
The only thing that would benifit it would be a repaint !

hi, i am very interested in the chaseside pictured on this forum, and understand it maybe for sale. i moved twelve years ago to normandy just behind omaha beach, but before i moved i had two examples of the chaseside shovel both with perkins p6. it was a great regret but i could not take everything with me. if this machine is still for sale i would like to know the price and whereabouts, look forward to hearing from you , all the best ,tony g.

Hi,
Yes my dad has now finally decided 5 years after I first posted photos of the beast,to part with this chaseside and his other tractor collection so if anyone wants more info please contact me on 07860870007
