Tractor will be a Roadless 65 from Roadless Traction Ltd, Hounslow, Middlesex.

Its a conversion based on the standard 5000 with a GMC axle and a Roadless made drop box. Roadless made a number of conversions based on Ford units from way back to the 1920's including crawlers and, in the 1970's, equal wheeled 4wd, the Roadless 115 and 120.

The turbo would be an add on unit that was imported here by Opico. I think they were M&W turbo's. We fitted quite a few at a time when farmers were demanding more power and high HP tractors were rare over here. Keep the oil changed frequently and the engine would take the extra power with few problems.
