Reg No: CUD 175
Serial No: P10037
This early Cropmaster, built in either April or May 1947, is thought to be the 37th off the line. This '4S' model has the standard four-speed gearbox (a six-speed transmission was optional) and the 'S' suffix denotes that the tractor has electric starting. The tractor was first registered in Oxfordshire and is fitted with hydraulic lift, a geometric drawbar, a combined belt-pulley and power take-off unit, and lights. The tractor has been fully restored. The Cropmaster was one of the most famous David Brown tractors ever produced and the model became a milestone in David Brown's history after 100 tractors a week were rolling off the company's assembly line at Meltham Mills within a short time of its introduction. Fitted with rear tyres this shining example is complemented with V5 documentation and old tax discs.

Reg No: FSJ 460
Serial No: FBK 17104
The Farmall M was the largest model in International's 'styled' range of Farmall tractors. Introduced in 1939, they included the smaller A, B and H models. The styling was the work of industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, a former electrical engineer who became famous for many twentieth century American icons from the Coke bottle to streamlined cars and trains. Top gear, at nearly 17 mph, was extremely fast for the time and made the M a very popular and powerful rowcrop tractor. Nearly 250,000 were made before production ended in 1952. Several were imported to the UK. This example has the single front-wheel layout that was favoured by farmers in eastern England because it offered lower ground compaction, easier steering and greater manoeuvrability. This example was formerly part of the Gilbert Reed Collection and is offered for sale with V5.

Reg No: GV 9311 (expired)
Serial No: TDF 1304
After marketing a successful range of spark-ignition and diesel crawlers during the 1930s, IHC introduced the diesel-powered TD-6, TD-9, TD-14 and TD-18 machines in 1939. International's petrol-start/diesel method, as pioneered in the earlier TracTracTor line, was already a proven arrangement. The TD-14 was used both by the US Army and for civilian use and this example is fitted with a rear-mounted winch for cable-operated equipment. Despite being outclassed by the Caterpillar D6, the TD-14 sold well into the 1950s. A Suffolk tractor from new this particular example was acquired from EJ Barker & Sons of Westhorpe, Stowmarket.

Reg No: N/A
Serial No: TKBB 2336
Introduced at the end of 1936 the T-35 was only in production for just over three years. Despite being built in small numbers (only 241 were made in 1937, the peak year of production), the T-35 proved to be an outstanding crawler in its power range. International described it as the 'in-between' model, slotting into the TracTracTor line between the smaller T-20 and more powerful T-40 models. It was a rugged design with a superbly reliable six-cylinder engine. Between 2005 and 2007, this tractor was part of a private collection belonging to John and Geoff Goodman from Hampshire. Before that, the crawler was owned by well-known Kent International enthusiast, the late Bob Dockeray, and was purchased from the Cambridge Vintage Sale in April 2007.

Reg No: 648 UXC
Serial No: 4DM 792-1355
The Nuffield line became a two-model range in 1957 with the launch of the 37bhp three-cylinder 'Universal Three' tractor. At the same time, the four-cylinder model was upgraded to 4DM spec as the 'Universal Four'. From November 1958, the 'Universal Four' gained the tweaked OEA2/D (OEA/2E with the double clutch as indicated by the 792 prefix on this tractor) engine giving 56bhp. Morris Motors, claimed that the Nuffield tractors represented British engineering at its best. Right from the outset, two themes were followed: universal application (from which the model took its name) and simplicity. A V5 document is available.

Reg No: AUD 601
Serial No: 314855
The UTS is probably the best known of Minneapolis-Moline's line of Prairie Gold tractors with 'Visionlined' styling. The standard U was one of MM's most successful tractors with a very long production run from 1938 to 1957. They were reliable units built for long life and economy. Quite a number of Minneapolis-Moline tractors were imported into the UK under the Lease-Lend agreement during the Second World War. Most came in through Liverpool docks and were distributed by the British agent, Sale Tilney, from its depot at Winnersh, near Wokingham in Berkshire. This tractor is an early UTS with the red radiator grille rather than yellow as on later models. This example is offered for sale with V5 documentation.

Reg No: JE 7584
Serial No: 160905
Introduced in 1939, the styled version of the Model 'D' remained the flagship model in Deere's wartime and early post-war tractor range. This tractor is fitted with a Hesford Minor winch, which is driven by the power take-off. The immensely popular Model 'D' was in production longer than any other John Deere tractor, or any other make of tractor for that matter, and survived from 1923 to 1953. The Model 'D' in the collection was originally supplied by F A Standen & Sons of St Ives in Huntingdonshire. Frank Standen was the original UK importer of John Deere tractors, appointed in 1934 on the strength of his success with the Overtime. The tractors were distributed from the company's main depot, the Stanpoint Works in St Ives, and also from branches in Ely, Wisbech and Whittlesey. Few of the two-cylinder tractors came into the UK after 1948. A V5 and buff log book are available.

Reg No: 417 XUA
Serial No: 758512
The Cork-built N is easily identified by its long-wing mudguards or fenders, which were made from heavy-gauge steel and were designed to prevent overturning accidents caused by the worm-drive transmission. These were later tapered to avoid damage from trailed implements. The 'Irish' N remained in production from 1929 until 1932 and over 30,000 were made. The sales of the tractors were handled by the Ford Motor Company in England and they were distributed from Trafford Park in Manchester. A V5 has been obtained.

This Land Utility model was supplied new by the Fordson main dealer, Stanley Richardson, who had a depot at Sandtoft, near Thorne, Doncaster. The Fordson's driving position made it an ideal ploughing tractor because the controls of the trailed ploughs were within easy reach. Both V5 and buff log book are available.

Launched in October 1964, the Nuffield 10/42 and 10/60 models were heralded as the first of a new generation of Nuffield tractors. What gave the revised models their '10' designation were new ten speed (and two reverse) gearboxes. Production difficulties and teething problems with the new Bathgate factory led to a number of reliability problems. The 10/42 and 10/60 models should have been the crowning glory of the Nuffield 'Universal' line, but the manufacturing defects shook customer confidence. That is not to say they were bad tractors, in fact, far from it; with many still doing a good day's work today. V5 available.

David Brown's rowcrop 2D was introduced in 1956 as a specialist machine ideally suited to precision market garden work. Ultimately, the 2D proved too specialised for general farm operations and just over 1,600 were made before production ended in 1961.

Reg No: GKT 310
Serial No: FAA90224
Introduced in 1939, the Farmall A was the smallest model in International's 'styled' range of Farmall tractors. The styling was the work of industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, a former electrical engineer who became famous for some of the most familiar icons of twentieth century American culture, such as the Coke bottle and the Lucky Strike cigarette logo. The A and B were identical except that the B was a tricycle tractor while the A had a wide-front axle. The Farmall A, and its nearest competitor, the Allis-Chalmers Model B, were the most successful small rowcrop tractors in their power class in the USA. The A remained in production until 1947; over 220,000 were built and several were imported to the UK. This example belonged to the well known International collector, the late Bob Dockeray. The tractor was actually purchased as a birthday present for Bob's daughter, who was ten at the time but was said to have preferred the speed of her pony! The tractor was bought by Paul Rackham when the Dockeray Collection was dispersed at Sutton on 23 April 2005. Offered for sale with V5.

Serial No: ZTU567391U
Minneapolis-Moline launched its Universal Z model in 1937 to capitalise on the growing market for an 'all round' tractor to suit the farmer's every need from row-crop to general work. The machine was finished in the new Prairie Gold livery with MM's 'Visionlined' streamlined styling. The engine was unusual in that it had no detachable sump with access to the big-end bearings being through a side-plate on the left-hand side of the block. A second inspection plate allowed access to the valves, which were mounted horizontally and driven directly from the camshaft. There were no push-rods and few moving parts in the engine, which was designed for easy maintenance with the cylinders cast in removable pairs. Several wheel arrangements were available and the ZTU was the standard Universal Z tricycle with a vee front-wheel arrangement. V5 available.

Reg No: 435 XUD
Serial No: FFCub 707727
A new small French tractor, based on the American Farmall Cub, was introduced at St Dizier in 1955. The styling of the Cub was the same as the American model apart from the radiator grille, which was changed to match the styling of the new F-235 model that went into production at St Dizier at this time. The French Cub was fitted with electric starting from 1956. Electric lighting, a belt pulley, hydraulic lift and linkage were optional. It remained in production until 1957. This example presents an ideal starter tractor for the budding collector having been restored by David Kidd. A V5 is present.

Reg No: ETL 91C
Serial No: 42N/4/1740/69967
The Nuffield 10/42 and 10/60 models were the ultimate evolution of the original 'Universal' design and were the last with the old bonnets/styling. Prices were inexpensive for a tractor offering a host of features, a proven engine, a multi-speed gearbox and high-capacity hydraulics. The 10/42 and 10/60 models should have been the crowning glory of the Nuffield 'Universal' line, but manufacturing defects shook customer confidence. The Nuffield name for quality was never regained and was finally swept away in 1969. Another original ex-farm tractor with good straight tinwork which has developed a nice patina and comes with V5.

Reg No: JRM 792
Serial No: P28797
This petrol/paraffin version with the six-speed gearbox (Cropmaster 6) was supplied new to Cumberland and was built in May 1950. It has the AK4 engine that was introduced in late 1949 and is one of the first to have the square-type front casting that only became a feature of the Cropmaster tractor in April 1950. An earlier restoration which features good paintwork, it benefits from a V5 certificate.

This tractor was supplied new by Ernest Doe & Sons of Ulting in Essex and is offered for sale with V5.

Reg No: 822 XUK
Serial No: B12403
The ubiquitous Model 'B' set the style for the lightweight rowcrop tractor and was the design that other manufacturers followed. The 'B' was in production for 20 years and 118,500 were built between 1937 and 1957. The model was later produced in Britain at Essendine, but the American version from Milwaukee is typified by its bowed front axle. The new paint, mixed for Allis by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, was called Persian Orange and this example has had a recent new coat. The tractor was purchased from Ken Steward of Cockfield, Suffolk in 1987. Offered for sale with a V5.
