My T140 was a bit of a special too, Lester Alloys/Bates lights/Extended forks/US Export Tank bbrrrrr.. it's bringing back memories now. It wasn't when they came out I had it you must understand, I'm a trifle too young for that. We used to herd up cattle on a BSA C15 too, then progressed to Husky & Maico's but they were just far too highly strung. The cattle absolutely hated them and it just became impossible, let alone not good for the beasts! Using little two stroke mopeds was no good either, the cattle thought it was Gad bees swarming & run around like possessed lunatics with their tails in the air... ah memories.........

I'll bet they know of each other then Stormin' Yep, such a distinctive sound, TS2 & 3 was it??

Awesome purpose made serious capable kit! I was very fortunate, and indeed quite proud a week ago, to be in the presence of probably more than 25 County Conversions at a collectors property... That was quite possibly one of my own personal highlights of the decade... for obvious reasons no names mentioned, but I felt highly honoured to be there!

You've just Got to take yer hat off!!!

Ahhh Neil, breaking my heart there.. the Triumph T140...... THE one I should never have sold... I'm gonna weep now, I can feel it........................

Karl, these guys are fanatical, believe me, Commers were the family main marque, but Fords are loved too!! Bloody good friends of mine!!

And yes, one did swim the Channel!!!! Sea Horse, a yellow one.. anyone remember it?? Like This..............

Believe it or not, a President would have waded through that effortlessly, having said that, it wouldn't pull anything through behind it!! Sadly, it's a common sight at the moment though...

OOhhh I don't think they'd use it for that Paul, mind you, there's a Commer 2 Stroke ex Fire Engine beavertail that can do that job there!!

A very good pal of mine with one of his many show winners!!! Then in the 50's, at the same Mill, no doubt this would have been the look of things!

For us anyway, not so much like the kit they use in the USA on the odd few thousand miles across the plains. County tractors still to date create massive interest over here, especially in Forestry work. I have quite a few friends with County & Roadless too... it's all about Traction!!

Indeed I'm sure John,... would you want my flu bug though.............................. Bah!...............

Yes, a credit to you for all the right reasons. I did know someone here in the UK with similar, but not with a black chassis (frame?) I don't think .... grey possibly? But yes, Very very nice work there!

You sent me this shot Kevin, remember seeing it an a Calendar....? I think it was this one.. either way, all brilliance I say!

Getting There! And then from 1952, 12 months after it was first sold to a farm no more than 30 miles from where it is now!!

Still Enjoying remembering this

Not Quite in the correct order, but I think you'll sort it.

Maybe I should have treated my XJR13 to the way you have...... darn it, I knew I shouldn't have sold it now!!! All very Good!

I've had another play this morning, but unsure if the 'header' idea is universal.. I guess we have to consider other applications sometime too..... Titch

I think this says it all for me......

Here's an image that I like... an explanatory one, if I could understand it that is.....

Hi Matt, C'mon, I'm not the only President guy around here....... and of course there's loads and loads of other machinery discussed. Maybe we should of course add the Plowmate/Hoemate & Cultmate .. yes? Titch

Yes, sadly sold on, I've had a few over the years, mostly on LPG conversions. My favourite was a 1989 one.. I still liked them better than P38's though!... Mind you, there's a soft spot for me with either a GT6 or TR6...

That's it Richard, at first glance I thought that it was a very very clean & tidy workshop! Water Slides Neil, no I'm afraid not. The materials available in modern times are sadly no where near how they used to be, very delicate and tricky too, plus there's a problem often when requiring the colour white. My equivalent is onto clear vinyl, however, I do appreciate that water slide definitely has it's place and wouldn't try to say mine are better. But, a free sample could be made available if you wished to have a look! Titch
