A selection of rebuilt tractors tractors & engines. Note the industrial on dual wheels and the cable operated loader in the background.

The company were large Oliver implement dealers but did not handle Oliver tractors



New Fordsons arriving in the local railway goods yard with their weather covers



In the late 1940's, note the service van with dealer name & standard Fordson logos; new E27N tractors and Ford-Ransomes implements



The open day at one of their new dealerships, E27N tractors & implements on show.
 
(quoted from post at 04:28:02 01/26/15) I really enjoyed those pictures. Thanks for posting them. Do you have a book?

The book was written & published in 1984, just one print run. Very occasionally a secondhand copy appears on eBay, selling for $15-$20.
 
Wonderful pictures, as usual. I see the McConnel name in the background. Probably about 1970 Dad bought a little three point hitch backhoe. It was an orange "Howard power arm". But I believe it said McConnel on it somewhere. So I don't know who owned whom? Same name on Samn40's one armed yellow hedge trimmers too.
 


Read one time about a farmer who ran 800 acres with eight teams of horses and a Fordson tractor. He figured that he could have ran 1000 acres if he didn't have that darn Fordson. :lol:

McConnell were the largest manufacturers of farm type ditchers mounted on rear 3 point. Howard in Britain never sold them here, but Howard in USA may have marketed them over there?

McConnell are part of Alamo Group now
 
Thanks again. I can see some similarities to our old orange machine. Ours had fixed stabilizers. When laying tile, we had three persons. One to raise/lower the hoe/drive tractor forward. One to run the hoe. And the ditch person.
