Hi , just thought I would just tell you about my major, joined the forum after acquiring a 1956 E1A, the tractor is in pretty good condition and has been reasonably well cared for but needs tidying , gauges inop, little in the way of brakes, got a lot of wear on front trunion pivot and am currently rebuilding the steering box, all seems very straight forward but will be good to seek advise when nec, just finding my way around the forum , its very interesting and has already been a great help.
Kind Regards Andy 1956 E1A S/N 1400305

Hello Spannerman
I don't think I have seen better tinwork, not to mention the rest of your lovely tractor.
Could I ask which part of the world you are situated in?
Not the UK, judging by the colour of the diesel.
Best, Adrian.
