At the time of its conception, the Australian Ford Motor Company did not have a tractor to match the Chamberlain models on offer, so the staff of the sales and service division took parts from existing tractors and built their own.
Basically it is an 8600 engine fitted to a 7600 gearbox and uprated rear axle. The main Ford company was not happy and only allowed it to be built for sale with a de-rated engine. Eventually, the engine and gearbox/rear axle were assembled at South Essex Motors at Dagenham before being shipped to Australia to have the tinwork, fibre-glass bonnet and Gasson cabs fitted. The tractor was used on trailed implements mostly, in dry conditions, where 4WD was not required. A hydraulic lift was an extra although it had spool valves and a hydraulic pump.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
