History

A friend in the village is moving house to another house in the village and he has an old Fordson tractor. It's a canny runner and is going with him. When I was taking the photo a shepherd friend of mine stopped his car, wound down the car window and recalled lots of memories of working on a farm with these old tractors. He said that in the winter of 1963 the farmer he worked for could get over the deep snow drifts in his Fergie because it was so light weight.
