Hi Keith,

Yes my tractors have names, my E27N P6 is Marion in honor of her former owner, my E27N L4 is Larry just because he looks like a Larry and my TVO E27N has been called just about everything under the sun, all of it unprintable. My Crawler has only just arrived and has not been christened yet.

Regards, Frank.

Hello, Mike from the West here again.

I have named my Fordsons after the previous owners mostly to stop confusion when explaining to the family which one is which, since I started doing this I have aquired three more Fordson, The new major is probably going to be called streach as it is being converted and streached into a grader tractor and it was previously owned by Bill Steach too!
My Power Major was called Fred after Fred Ratcliffe and the Super Major will possibly be called the Super Major unless I decide to call it Cliff after the previous owner. ( is rather steep here hope this isn't a bad omen )
The E27 N is not going and I have not named it, though the previous owner was Ken. ( no barbie, though there was an Andrew tractor )

hope this is amusing,

Mike

This is the one we call Stretch hopefully we will finish it before next Christmas.

Hi, My E27N Petrol/Kero is called 'Henry'. We had a naming discussion one day over breakfast with my wife and two daughters. We all put a name in the hat and pulled one out.
I wrote down 'Henry', my wife 'Trevor', youngest daughter (5) suggested 'Bluey' and my eldest daughter (8) said 'Rusty' :? ...
Anyway, Henry was pulled out. Obviously after Henry Ford and that's it.
Don't know about the name Rusty though, he's not that bad...
