Are P6 E27N rare?

[EddieJ]

On Monday my dad and I were out and about looking a tractors, we were looking at a Major and a Nuffield but came across some little beauties. The guy who we met to see the Nuffield had inhis lockup a halftrack nuffield an Oliver two Alice charmers (one tracklayer) a mk1 field Marshall and a track Marshall among others. Sorry guys no pics it took us buy surprise. However to keep the blue at the next stop we came across these:



4x P6 E27N's in a row all with varing degree of parts missing but the engines looked mainly complete. Two had the cast iron wheels too.
Strange sight to see them near the new case quad tracks.

Hi Eddie,

Relative to the TVO tractor they are rare, but given the huge number of E27N tractors that were made there are a good number of the Perkins P6 conversions around. Finding a genuine factory built Perkins P6 is probably fairly rare as a lot were converted to P6 later in the tractors life. The E27N Perkins L4 conversion is far more uncommon to find.

There are others on this board who may be able to give some numbers built. Personally I would love it if that gold mine of tractors was close to home, as I can assure you there would only be 3 left the next time you looked.

Regards, Frank.
