The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Well 3 weeks later and we have had 4 inches or 100 millimetres of rain, depends on how you measure rain. Everything now beautiful and green, with squillions of mosquitoes. My miniature horses have really put on condition in the last couple of weeks. Out west didn't get much rain so they are still de...

34 millimetres of rain at my place on Friday, Friday night. Not a drought breaker but washed a lot of dust off grass etc, and put a bit of water in the rainwater tank. I was driving around on the paddock on Saturday afternoon so most of the water had run down the huge cracks in the ground. This was ...

The previous owners of both tractors weren't aware that the transmission is filled from the plug at the front a...

Hi Ken Nice history :) Were those Naper 'Doe' linking kits part of a range that did the same with Field Marshalls and Chamberlins which I've seen pictured ? oehrick, that is an interesting question. The two Napier boys, Harry and Bill were very interesting people, and very good businessmen. They st...

Good day, I thought I had better introduce myself as I commented on the Mack in the snow chains thread, I couldn't help myself I collect old army trucks. My name is Ken, I did my apprenticeship on Caterpillar tractors in the early 1970s. I live in Queensland Australia and I am the owner of 2 Fordson...

Good day,
That is a 1942/45 NM 6X6 6ton Mack beautiful truck . The Australian army had about 80 of them and used them mostly as artillery tractors.
