Just been looking at your HT20 again Iain. Is there any significant differences between the HT20 and Ht23 apart from the horse power?

Fabulous photo! i wonder what that trailer load weighs?

Look forward to seeing this project come to fruition. If anyone can do it , you're the man Ewan

Those tri ribs really set off the RAM perfectly I do like that style of RAM. That's next in my list one day.

Thanks Joseph. I should have included you Joseph as well as your Dad and Chris! Hey Joseph, when's your Dad going to get his own Large Frame as I know you got two yourself

Certainly will Iain. I am not sure who's more excited. Me, you or Chris? i have only seen Chris's 1886 and his Ht23 and I know you both said it much bigger and heavier than a TF, I was still caught unawares. Especially when I compared it to the 850

I must admit Harry I thought that too but I think it's intact though absolutely dented and battered to buggery A deliberate spelling mistake and a visible security detereance to deter thieves.

Here are some photos...

t's here but not without a bit of a kerfuffle!I got a phone call this morning saying he was half an hour away. Great I replied! Then he said "It's a big tractor and not sure how we are going to get it off..." "I am sure we'll manage" I replied.It arrived on time and with a bit of maneovoring and shunting the lorry reversed back to my lock up.He then revealed the tractor in all its glory which was strapped onto a pallet. The first problem or as some people like to say challenge was that the pallet was too wide to go through the rear so i quickly used my hand saw to reduce the width. This worked ok and we could just about get it on the tail lift.We then came across another issue. It was again too wide to go through my garage. I quickly thought I would roll it off and gave Chris a quick ring to ask him the procedure to release the valves to aid rolling. However, the seller have strapped the deck underneath the tractor and so we couldn't roll it even if we wanted to. ....By now the delivery guy was clock watching and I said let cut the sides again. This time speed was of the essence so I fired up my chainsaw and quickly sliced through the timber on both sides and after a couple of failed attempts managed to get it through the door and under cover. It was a great relief to get it in the garage as the driver said he was beginning to think he would have to leave it in situ if we couldn't get it inside. Thanksfully it's all sorted.Chris is coming over on Saturday and hopefully between us we can get it off the pallet ....Photos to follow but a quick glance around showed me it's a mightily sound tractor and with a good clean and a service will be a good one. Compared to the 850 in the corner, the HT20 is huge!

Should be here on Wednesday morning Will take better photos for those interested

Wheeling looking forward to the updates on the tyres.

Reading it again, made me laugh again

My lips are sealed Alain. Non! Nein! Nyet! Ain't sayin' nuffin' Guv.

Whena are you planning to get seat time on this one? :-) The real gem on this score is the fact it's road registered which is worth its weight in gold in my opinion. Be good to see this back on the road. Literally. I was aware of this purchase and there's an amusing story which Iain told me about the G14, but that's for him to tell.

Joseph 'Crockett" Glad to see another RAM in action and that's a good load he's hauling.

Should be here by end of next week....

A few weeks ago I got a call out of the blue saying would I be interested in this old tractor. My pulse quickened when he mentioned that it was hydrostatic and had 20 HP engine in it. I asked for photos which duly came a week later and my thoughts were confirmed. It was a Large Frame and both Chris and Iain identified it as a HT20. I have been told it is an early model. It runs and stops ok and come with a 56" deck too. There's a bit of tinware missing but otherwise it's solid. These are hard to come by ad I am chuffed to but that I got my hands on one. i

Great photos

Does it runs and stops ok?

A woman ahead of her time and made it to a ripe old age too.

Glad you two got home safely last night. It was miserable weather here in Devon yesterday and I didn't envy you guys driving back in the dark with that trailer load.

Now gone to a new home.......

I got the measurements today from the seller.Here are some measurements. Total length including tow bar is 6 foot 1 inchTotal width including brackets is 34 inchesTotal height including wheel is 22 inches

Thanks Chris.

Looking good Harry.
