Defiantly a 500 series, a Coventry built one, earlier model, most likely a 590, but the 575 was similar in wheelbase, and what looks like a a JD 2850 or 2650 with mfwd drove one of those for a couple years at my old job, mainly on a hedge trimmer

I've just found this photo in my PotatoBucket account, I think it's a 500 series (hard to see the decals), dirty and rusty but still putting in a full days work loading round bales in the fields behind where I used to live 6 or 7 years ago.
 

cant beat a 590, hell of a tool, though the 4wds had the turning circle of the titanic, even got the P.A.V.T on yours, is yours a 3 stick gearbox, or a 2 stick?

Amazing work Alan, didn't realise how bad it was looking at it now

Hi all, here are a few photos of my Bristol 10 taken a couple of years ago when we moved it from one shed to another.
No electric start, you have to hand crank the Austin engine. Controls are a bit different to all my other crawlers in that there is only one steering lever, it makes running it up loading ramps quite tricky as you can't stop and brake both tracks. Throttle is via twist grip at the end of the steering lever.
Last photo shows the Bristol beside my Ransome crawlers for an idea of size.

Matter of opinion, good engine if oil changes and general maintenance is kept up, but if it's not they tend to be unforgiving, I had two asperas thow conrods on Howard Rotavator because my partners never heard of checking the oil on a machine before use, the first one I let her off,after the second shes been demoted to a fork and spade
