Ford Tractors were so very popular on UK farms, easy to fix and bloody reliable, this is the Antwerp, Belgium built TW series......


The venerable 160BHP Ford 8630, built between 1992 and 1997 at the Basildon, Essex plant

A pair of older JCB Fastracs, really fast on the road, and not shabby at soil toil either !

Built 1961-1965

Engine = 77hp Continental E242 242ci 4-cylinder Gasoline

Curiously, Massey Ferguson never built a plain old "90"; all 90s were Super 90s.

This is not an agricultural tractor, it was designed to pull, so although technically a tractor, its prime use is a launch vehicle. Built by Clayton Engineering UK, it was designed to launch a lifeboat belonging to the Royal National Lifeboats Institute (RNLI) here in the UK. This one is at Mablethorpe on the North Lincolnshire Coast, most lifeboat stations around the coast utilise the normally steep shelving of the beach to build a slipway to launch these emergency vessels directly into the sea, but when the beach is as wide as it is here at over three hundred yards in places, and with such a very small gradient into the sea, the lifeboat is cradled in a trailer and then towed out to depth using this M3 that features a armoured watertight cab to protect the driver and an engine bay fitted with a Caterpillar engine with a snorkel air intake and exhaust.

I am curious as to what kind of provision it has to prevent the water from sucking the fan blades through the radiator; possibly an electric fan clutch that can be turned off when it water; but then, most will coast enough even when not engaged to force the blades into the radiator.

Maybe the fan itself is on an electric motor ?

Thanks for sharing it and the explanation as to it's use.

I had not thought about that and wish I had asked when I saw it on Monday ! It may have a sealed cooling system with no radiator, after all, from the lifeboat station to the sea would only be a short journey, when the tide is out..even shorter when it is in as the distance would be only about 50 yards if that...I will ask the next time we are up there

Taking a few shots of a (somewhat) solitary tree when this John Deere came up over the hill. Reminds me of Luke Bryan's "What Makes You Country"

"I got my dirt road cred when I was twelve
On a no cab tractor hauling them bales"

Closed cab and the dude's a lil' older than 12 but close enough. Rocky View County, Alberta
