  1. More on the “Mystery Machine”.

    Greetings,

    Des Wootton is spot on, it is indeed a Howard Trench Digger (mounted on a Fordson ‘Major’ tractor), and is shown and described on page 184 in Ian Johnston’s very interesting book “The Magic Of Old Tractors”.

    Regardz…Bruce Ollivier (Australia)

  2. Nigel Dawe says:

    The odd looking front wheels on the Fordson trencher are the standard (optional I believe) Fordson steel wheels with added wheel weights to keep the front end down. There is a lot of weight behind the back axle with the trencher added. I’m afraid they are nothing to do with railway lines, though they do look like they might be.
