horwool triplex 84

Recommended Posts

Tool it for a test drive. Good fun. 

Need a brake cylinder and also brakes themselves need looking at. 

Need a decent fuel tank. Other than that it looks all together (except the cutters)

 

Have hight hopes for it already. 

Nice set or rear tractor tyres, original tractor seat, painted up in yellow and white possibly. 

 

Not bad for £160. Happy days!

I would not be able to leave it alone if it was mine, first job would be taking 2" of each side of the axles, then some nice round trailer mudguards  :rolleyes:

This is true! 

 

Found this bit off info on the kohler engine.... if it's the correct engine of the tractor the serial number starts with a 3 which would make it 1972.. if it is that old I would be well happy!

Hi guys

New to this 

I’ve found a Horwool Triplex 84 in really good shape and price 

I was just wondering how heavy is it as I’m about to collect it with my van 

(it has got the cutters on it )

Thanks in advance

Should be ok. You could always go to a weigh bridge just to be sure. Weigh van loaded with tractor. The way you'd have an idea of the tractors weight. :thumbs:

 

BTW. Where are you located?

Hi Ben, 

 

They are quite a heavy machine but not to bad. 

I would guess 3 - 400 kg. 

Maybe half ton with the cutters on. 

Very simple design and good fun to work on. 

I sold mine just before Christmas. 

With the large rear tractor wheels the chap i sold it to just got it in the back of a Nissan pick up truck.
