Ok, saw on side of road, what is it?

On the drive home, saw this up for sale....

Rode hard, put away wet and over priced.
Other than that, I don't know! :lol:
The headlights look like one of the Europe built models.
Any numbers on it?

If it ain't a Ford, maybe British-Leyland? Diesel and runs
good - it's got possibilities....

Tires, tin, and paint and it's good to go!

The bolt patterns made me think Brit/European. Hadn't thought of Leyland. Maybe Duetze(sp?).

Price does depend on strength/HP really. 80 or 90 horseys and maybe considering condition.

Was only spot on 40 mile run home without rain, so only had a minute to look. Hopefully get chance to ask tomorrow. Going to prowl CL later and see if on there.

Including the grill?

That's a leyland, not sure what model though.

It's a Leyland

Here's a picture, still don't know what year or model...

Yup, looks like it. Leyland has it!

Where/how to find out model # etc. on her if I get a close up looksee?

Thanks gang.

And the grill was a "gimme". has to be a dozen more than Capt. Obvious ones.

Can tell you she was a big girl, about the size of a Ford 7000/8000. Larger than a 5000 for sure, tires notwithstanding.

Yep. That was the point.

That, friends... is a British Leyland. At 3800... the asking price is about 3600 too high.

Rod

Oh, surely you could get more than $200 for it at the scrap yard Rod!

its a Money Pit..

Nah, they're only paying about 60 bucks a ton here

Rod

Although I don't know Leyland models, the ones
around here were seldom over 80 h.p. If you put a
5000 with the same size tires along side it... I
think you'll find they are similar. A 7000 (same
frame as a 5000) should out work it... anything with
the 401 would flat out crush it.
If the link works, you'll see one at a sale here
today. If I go, I'll try to find out what it brings.

Leyland

Fordfarmer - That one you linked to looks like it says 384 on the side as the model number. According to external_link, the 384 was 70hp (engine hp) with a 231ci engine. So it is probably close to a 5000 in terms of PTO hp.

If a guy wanted it to use I'd say it's about 6K too high. Parts are impossible to find. I know I have a TLB with a Leyland engine in it. They were not a bad tractor just no support for em in the US.

Rick

looks like the 384 Leyland I once had. Was told by previous owner he bought it new in around 71.

Just back from the sale - yep, it was a 384. Brought
a whopping $475. Franken-Farmall H/backhoe brought
an even $1000. I was out bid on all the gravity
boxes, paid $700 for a 25KW generator for my uncle,
and got 5 shares and 3 shins for my plow for
$45...not a bad day.

you weren't in summerfield wer ya? there's a leyland for sale on 301 in summerfield..

Only found a few Leylands in my reference books... I
-think- this one (in original post - not the one I
saw) is a 255. If it is, it is a 222 c.i. 4-
cylinder, 48 pto h.p., 6300 pound tractor..not even
a match for a 5000.

It's a Leyland, used to be called a Nuffield, but
then folks got wise and stopped buying Nuffields so
they changed the name to Leyland, kind of the "new
& Improved" scam. With all the reorganization
Leyland went through and the eventual closing or
sale of the various divisions it's an ORPHAN, not a
red-headed step child or the crazy uncle no one
talks about but a real genuine orphan.

This one is on 40 just east of Nuby's corner. Been on that particular place for at least 8 years that I have seen it. Knowing only a little about the landowner for several decades through my Grams, whom lives at the street where this is, owner is a bit, ummm, interesting lets say politely. Considering he may have given up having it worked on, wouldn't surprise me he put it up for sale.

On a side note, saw Mr. & Mrs. Harris at store Friday. Had a nice conversation with her, both really, and she was looking pretty good. Was very glad about that.

Back to the tractor... Have nooooo intention of going after it, just nowhere near my budget. Always saw it on back of acreage and never up close. From a distance had always thought it was a 5000. Guessed wrong. Have crawled up on 5/7/8000's at the auction, just seems a tad larger than a 5000, bigger wheels and all.

Still haven't gotten up close with it yet. Grams had surgery on Thursday, and was put up on regular post surgical floor that afternoon. Had breathing complications late late that night. She was moved to ICU this morning unexpectedly, without notice or explanation, so we all went flying back to hospital all day today. Have to work next 2 days about mile from hospital. Not sure when things will allow me to ask the owner about it. My plates kinda full and my curiosity being satisfied is pretty low on priorities right now.

While I was sitting in ICU waiting area looked them up. A Leyland 282 (Tractor Data) is closer than I thought to a 5000, hp wise. When I first posted about it, I only looked at engine hp, not at ratings, so now am a bit more edumacated.

Am always interested if its a good deal to be had, us natives do love to trade horses, steel or real, LOL
