Thanks for the help men, getting numbers and tax books is a bigger problem since all moved to Swansea. I was able to find the number from Gumtree, I went through the first letters , AGL. BGL etc until vehicles came up, then went through the numbers. the reg of this tractor is MGL 836X, then went to ...

I got an industrial 1390 in yesterday in fairly rough condition but could be restored. The left side of the number plate has broken off, the remaining letters are ?GL ?36X, can anyone help to find the missing letters? Thanks

We have the fibreglass roofs in stock, only the black part. ring me to discuss tel 028 8167 1371

Thanks Tim, I see there is an agent in Belfast for them, I will wait a while, maybe something will turn up.

I got this red and black 2294 some months ago. When the pto was put into gear there were grinding noises and the tractor stalled, after taking off all the lift parts and continental type hitch then the PTO housing we noticed the teeth stripped from 2 cogs, the top one that is on the hyd pack and the...

Hello Humding,
what part of Ireland are you in? Have you any photos of the 4690. I have a 4890 in the collection here at Castlederg Co Tyrone.

The 1490 in the photos was built on a Rollytrac blue tractor from the early 1980s, the Ford pedal tractor is a Somby from the mid 1990s and is smaller. We built a 1594 from the Rollytrac and the smaller one will make an 1194

The leak off pipes are available from Sparex, only the part that joins to the injectors.

I have been told about Woolies, there may be something close.

Some photos of the 1694, I seem to always be over the amount of photos I can load and have to delete others to put any more on.

I have eventually bought the red 1694, most of the cab controls have been reconnected and tinwork is off almost ready for paint.

There were 4 or 5 new ones came to Castlederg around 1983 and a lot of people in other areas in Ireland told about them working. I also wondered about how many were exported. Ours can be seen at The Porter Trailers and Tractors open day, toy show and tractor run on Sat 11 May, also thinking of leadi...

You have done a great job on that cab, looks like new, spray some tyre foam on the floor mat to bring it up to shiny black again.

Get the paint mixed to the colour codes on this website BS10 B15 although some paint suppliers cant cross reference this code.
Sparex DB orchid white is not far away.
