Me and my brother finally bought a TIG welder, after talking about one for over a year its here Here, have a few pictures

I currently have four Trojan tractors , what you have is the Mk 4 , the last of the Trojan series , I think the MK4 is a mid 1960s tractor . dont sell it for less than £1500 or even more . They are highly sought after ,and very collect able

I'm new to this site and thought you guys might like to see my collection so far! Ive got two Mk 3 Trojan Toraktors and a field rider. The field rider is similar to a Mk 4 trojan but slightly better made Id say. It has a little Albion gearbox, wheel weights etc. no one seems to know much about it! All I know is it was produced near to where the Trojans were! It's meant to be the only one left!! It is the only one I've ever seen but there may be more out there!!! If anyone has any information that would be great! I also have a little tipping trailer and a small set of disc harrows! The disc harrows don't look a homemade jobby but if they are then they are very good! Again I know nothing about these!! Let me know what you think!!

Well today I picked up my new toy(s) to keep my busy this year. As most of you know I've wanted a bigger scale tractor for a while now and the right opportunity came along last week. I will still be exhibiting my smaller rides on's at many shows and meets along with you lot but I now have something different to play with as well!.... can never have enough! An old boy was selling his 1950 Ferguson TEA-20 tractor so I went and had a look, Its far from mint, but it starts, drives and all hydraulics work perfectly (the brake are a bit sharp too ) It needs a restoration over the summer and thankfully new parts are readily available and at a quite cheap cost as well. I plan on replacing all the taps, caps, hoses, nuts, bolts, seat cushion and steering wheel etc, along with all new oils and filters and of course give it a good all round service. I haven't done much to it today in fact nothing at all, only check the oils and then go for a quick play over the back fields however all the name plates have been painted over out of curiosity I sat and scratched one off and it revealed a plate that read. SUSSEX TRACTOR LTD Ferguson Main Dealers 33 THE HIGH STREET, UCKFIELD so it turns out it started its life not very far from me at all. I was very happy with the deal we had come up with and thought It cant get much better.... but then it did, the old boy was pleased I am going to restore it and show it again, after a chat he chucked in 2 Lister D engines with loads of spares, a water pump for the engines and some sort of root cutter. I already have one of these Lister D type engines so that now makes 3 of them Here is some pictures, I hope to keep you all updated as and when I do bits and bobs to the machines!

Valve clearances set, Cover/breather re-assembled. Had to make a new gasket. Engine back in place and drive pulley, P.T.O. and drive belt cover back on. Carb cleaned and checked. Wiring reconnected. Started on lapping the head. Ordered a head gasket and it should be here Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, carb to be re-fitted and as the exhaust/silencer fell apart, I suppose I'll have to make a new one.

Sorry guys for a 24hr delay on the up dates well the saga continues the side panels which have been blasted and powder coated are now on which was a swine of a job to fit , and the chain drive to he front and rear is now back on and I've even loose fitted the bonnet which seems to line up ok

I found this in a neighbors out building & thought it would be a crying shame to let it rot, I took it to a show a wrotham Kent & was told to restore it. I was put in contact with a guy cool guy called Chris from Sussex who renovated it for me, apart from that I know nothing about it. It's got a Clinton engine which I understand is rare as they normally get replaced, can anyone tell me anything about it?

That's going to be one mean machine

All those words to look at, where's the pictures to look at

That's very good koen

Looking good, DJ.

You want to hear what my wife say! Swear like a trooper she does!

A quick walk round video

Hi Chris how's things? Yeah stole the photos off google I put in "Trojan" & pictures of my tractor came up, I'm looking after it, it's living in heated accommodation, very spoilt....haha

Hey Jay good to hear from you again, thought I recognised those photos and garden

Looks like the guy who gave me Chris number pushed me in the right direction! I turned up at the wrotham show with it on my trailer & thought I was gonna get laughed at but some of these guys were all over it. One guy offered me £600 as it was & this other guy looked at me wide eyed shaking his head as if to say NO don't sell it for that, I didn't have & still haven't a clue!

A few more pictures of restoration in progress, the guy who done it was Chris from Sussex, anyone know him I thought I saw him on here but not sure it's him, now I can't find him again!

Norm is right, two small wires with male spades. Then just link the plug across.

Yeah, they look great

Two wires to each switch. Just join the two off each switch together.

Evening all a bit more fabrication done , I've been working on finishing the rear off I've been focus in on the rear view ow hitch which is off a compact tractor here is what I've done so far
