Ed B,

Can't be too many of them around, so I assume this is yours?

Ed B, would you mind posting a picture from the rear of the tractor? Have the clutch/brake/throttle been converted to hand controls, or is there a seat back there I'm not seeing?

An earlier reply didn't take, so I'll try it again...

Yeah, this fine old machine resides in my back yard. That video was taken before I found it, so I had nothing to do with that posting!

The tracks are a Conversion kit you could buy in the late 30's. It is the only machine I know of, with that kit, and I've never spoken with anyone that has seen one.

When I purchased it, the radiator wasn't connected. I was able to connect it up and install the original fanblade. Of course the first problem was when the original fanbelt came apart. Most of you, at this site will know the effort to put a new fanbelt on it. That pump probably hadn't been rotated since nearly new. As a friend commented, "you will use a gallon of penetrating oil, heat all of the parts, pound and pry on it, and it still won't move"... He was almost right, I was successful in adjusting the tension on the new belt, but it took more than a week...

The number that is stamped on the engine, on the passenger side, is *U18463*. It still has the brass tag, with a vehicle number U18491A. When I registered it on this site, I showed it as a '22. When I tried to put in '24, it wanted to show it as an 8 cylinder engine.

Now I've taken over this link, and I really didn't intend to do that. However, to the query asking if I would sell it, I have sent a PM.

Oh, yeah, the picture:

Thanks for the patience.

Ed....

Happy to report that through David McCredie's good offices, I have been in touch with Bob Davis of Lonsdale SA and he has kindly sold me two engines, which will soon be on their way to the UK and from which I feel sure that we can build a perfect First Series replacement engine for my car. Hope to have the 126 back on the road for next Spring.
Regards to all
Tricky Dickie
