I spoke to Carol yesterday and she said no flowers, Norm would have hated the waste of money, but any donations to Cancer Research, a family member has terminal cancer..

She's was calling Norm an old bugger because she'd been in his shed and found out how many tractors he had. She didn't know. Wonder what else she'll find.

Hi All, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Stormin Norman Dainton died from a stroke last week. Sounds like it was sudden
I knew him from the Land Rover community but know he was on here fairly often. 
This was him and Carol on 4th August this year when he visited us in Mid Wales. My wife tried to poison him with spicy foreign muck (Spaghetti Bolognese), he'd never had spaghetti before.
A true gentleman with a dry northern wit and will be sorely missed by all that knew him.

In case the text gets lost in the header section.
Sadly Stormin passed away very suddenly last Monday as a result of a stroke. He visited me the day before and seemed his normal self so it was a real shock. His funeral will be held at Carlisle crematorium on Thursday 5th October at 12.20
Our thoughts are with his partner Carole and their family.

This is sad to see, Stormin was a regular here and a supporter of the forum.  I have added him to our members at peace group, rest in peace Norman

As far as I know the 7J D4 was built in the US between 1939 and 1943. The first D4D was not made until 1963 with a series number starting 78A. The D4D, series 88A,  was being built in Glasgow when I worked there in 1965.

Sorry , i don't think that is a D4D serial number . It is possibly a casting number . On the earlier D4s serial number is on a plate on the engine  and also on the top left hand side of the flat back area of the machine on a small plate . Number should be stamped in where the plate mounts , problem is , if the machine has rippers or winch fitted , serial number will be covered by them . Number should read D4D  then series 85A or 79J  this series number shows where it was built then there will be the actual serial number
