These 2 tractors followed my friend home. He says that with some air in the tyres, an oil change and some work with the buffing machine, they will be good to go for this tears shows.

They have a lot of parts similar to a farmall F 12. As for buffing out I guess anything is possible. Stan

Mike, the tractors are in England. The roller is an English machine made by Aveling- Barford. Phil

Wish I had that little fuel tank that is showing in the hood of that F-12. The one in my F-14 is missing.

Yes buff out, but, make sure you tell the auto body supply you need the coarser of the compounds.

The dozer is an International, I cannot remember the model. He has about 12 IH tractors in 1 of his sheds.

Sorry, I don't know. There are so many machines and parts in the yard, it is hard to tell what fits where. Phil

Old Iron, its not a good idea in England to put too much information in the public domain.We have too many low-lifes driving round, looking for stuff to steal. We don't like people to know what may be lying about. I have more pictures, but I really don't want to show them, the more I post, the easier it gets for someone to identify the location. I am sorry, Phil

Phil S.,
Fantastic! Thanks for posting.
I just must say, "Does he really have to buff away that beautiful rust?" Sigh!
Three questions if you don't mind:
1. Is that contraption on the back of what I guess to be a 10-20, to hold a rear belt pulley?
2. Are those some kind of special road-lugs on the front wheels of it...or did they run them in the fields that way in England? If you have an opportunity... it would be great to see more photos of the front wheels - have never seen anything like those.
3. Is that a factory wide front on the F12?

Sweetfeet,some, not very good, answers.
1 Yes, it is a belt pulley
2 I have never seen front wheels like this before. I suspect they are home made, probably done during the 2nd World War, when rubber tyres were impossible to obtain
3 I assume the wide front is original,there has never been a big demand here in England for the narrow front that seems to be so popular in the US.
Sweetfeet, if I were to put the rest of my pictures up on this forum, it would break your heart. I have made a calendar for 2014, using 36 pictures just from this mans yard and sheds. Regards, Phil

Phil S.,
I read the reply where you don't wish to disclose the location by posting more photos... I just meant a clear close-up of the front wheel. My husband and I were trying to figure out if the "lugs" were homemade or factory - and how they were attached to the rim.
I'm sure your photos would make me very envious, indeed. Would be fun to see your calendar.

Sweetfeet, the rubber lugs are factory and are mounted with a bolt in each corner.I have driven large delivery trucks with identical blocks fitted to the rear of the bodywork to prevent damage when reversing onto a loading dock.My feeling is that these blocks on the wheels are the same things.During WW2 rubber tyres were unobtainable, but I suspect that any haulage company would have had stocks of these rubber blocks in their stores,and some enterprising farmer saw a way to give himself a slightly better ride.
As to the calendar,there is so much machinery in the buildings and yard, I have put 3 pictures on each page, and have enough for next year also. Some men have just too many toys!! There are dozers, scrapers, tractors ( mostly IH ) steam engines, excavators, I could go on! Most have been restored to working order, the rest will be in due course. He does seem to be ignoring the solitary John Deere! He also has more money than me,LOL. Regards, Phil
