  1. This is not your usual type of machine that you would find in the barn , it's my 1955 Bren Gun ,deactivated of coarse . Also I have some inert pineapple hand grenades .

    I used to use the Bren gun 303 machine gun on a regular basis when serving in the Army along with the SLR rifle  the Bren is an awesome weapon and very powerful and accurate . This particular one was used by Paratroopers in the Suez conflict as it has the short barrel .image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg


  2. Well done Nigel on acquiring your next Trojan , I wished I could get mine looking that nice , are you still up for restoring mine Nige .

    By the way , is that you  Nicholas is presenting the tractor too, if it is you , you look great in a skirt . But the blouse doesn't match your eyes darling .


  3. The tie rods are different on the earlier models as the front axle is different to the later models. 

    I have had many parts shipped over from US , although the parts can be quite cheap the shipping cost are a bit painful , but worth it in the end . 


  4. That is an extremely rare model here in UK, congrats on finding it,  if you keep an eye open on US eBay quite often panels come up for sale. Most of the panels are interchangeable between models , I notice that the tool box has rotten through and also the hood dash has quite some rust , great if you can repair the hood . I agree this would look awesome if kept original patina . I have a 1961 suburban that is in a similar condition but I intend to keep original patina.

    If you pop over to Redsquare you should be able to download a copy of the Kohler manual for and a manual for the 604 .

    looking forward to this one come together.


  5. I would say it's a commando 7  as it has a slot hitch , the 856 has 7 slat holes on the hood front instead of 6 & the light hole is solid on the 856 with just a decal & the steering wheel does not match a commando 8 so I thing it could be a 704 .

    i would say it's worth no more that £200tops  if that to be honest  in its current condition .

    Although it's a good tractor ,personally I would keep the Honda and get it repaired or wait for a better wheel horse to turn up 


  6. 1961 electric start , what a great find , extremely rare here in UK , well worth buying if you can get it .

    I would say it's worth over a grand with implements . 

    The steering wheel needs replacing  looks to still have the original exhaust cover , these always get removed & then lost .

    front tyres could do with replacing .

    very desirable

     

     


  7. Great fun the ole grey Fergies , I took mine to Morrisons to get some groceries once , loved it .

    have fun with your new found friend  chaz , 

    i was thinking of getting rid of mine soon but do do think you have inspired me to keep her now 

    thank you

     

    my the little guy has grown
