What is the link between this tractor



and this one?



(BarryM is not allowed to answer).

the owner?

Hi Emiel,
I wish! They make a lot of money, even more than a nice Guldner 6 cylinder

No.

Is that a Yeoman Turner?
I like the V4 engine.

The only link i can see is the front tyres...

Yes its a Turner Yeoman of England from the 1950's.

The "V" engine looked OK but it was one of the worst engines of all time. It broke cranks, blew head gaskets and was under powered. When they eventually got it right the gearbox could not take it, which is strange because Turners went on to specialise in gearboxes for trucks and were very successful.

Nothing to do with the question though and the front tyres are not the answer.

Brian, looked at your Dexta photo. Your number plate is similar in area to mine, 556 XUX, you might recall from my post last week its just been registered. Mine was done through DVLA Maidstone, Kent. I think the last letters, UX and in your case UV would have originally been Shrewsbury numbers. I think they are a lot better than the Scottish ones they were issueing a while back.

Brian, is the link between your Dexta and the Yeoman Turner, that they are both "repatriated" from New Zealand??? There appears to be a 40 hp Yeoman Turner in the top of the South Island in a museum and another somewhere in Southland.TSG.

No. Sorry.

I like the idea of a Shrewsbury Number. it was in that area where I first saw and drove one. Marks.

Pure guess were the engines built or cast in the same factory.

David

Were the engines for both tractors designed by Freeman Sanders?

They both run on petrol?

No, No and No.

I must admit I was very surprised when I was told of the link.

They're both called Dotty?

There is only one Dotty!

Both Turner and Ford produced cars too.
And engines for those who needed them.

Is this the answer you were looking for?

Greetings from Holland.
Rob.

Or lies the answer in the name?

The Major got a "workmate".
Yeoman could be translated as such...

No and No again Rob.

Hi Brian,

Was it that the Turner Yeoman ceased production at the same time that the Dexta was released?

Regards, Frank.

Brian, any chance of a clue? Cheers TSG.

Frank,

No.

TSG,

Its in the bloodline.

Same designer ?.

David

Both have Ferguson in the blood

David is slightly warm.

Ben, No.

The engine was designed by Freeman Sanders who also developed the Fowler diesel and Ferguson TEF20 engine...... to be continued

Both featured the 3-point lift,designed by Ferguson.
