: I saw an old tractor today. The name on the side said
: ASCOT UNIVERSAL. The owner was away and when he's returns
: I'd like to make an offer to buy it ( for my winter renovation
: project. Has anyone ever heard of an Ascot Universal? What could you tell
: me about the brand? THANKS :Robb; They are romanian copies of old Fiats. They are still being sold here in Canada and Ascot sales were the importing agents. Allis sold their model 5040 and it was a Universal. They are definitely in the lower price range(like Belarus) and do not have a great reputation. Getting Parts can be a real chore. Here in Ontario the best parts source is Fawcett Tractor Supply at St. Mary's and their main enterprise is a salvage yard. They are not Universal agents. If, however you are after a tractor for utility purposes, will operate it judiciously, and will not be counting on it for full throttle, dawntodusk work, it may serve you very well. Good Luck. Tom
