Nuffield Tractors (part 4)

Whilst Matthew is dealing with the starter motor, I had just refitted the black battery box.



The radiator is now firmly back in place


Note the attention to detail, brass nuts for the manifold. Most fixings are replaced as neccessary and are obtained by Spa Fasteners, Leamington Spa.


Yes you might be thinking that I am sitting on the job. I had just spent several minutes under the back axle clearing paint from threaded fixing apertures.


The newly painted fuel tank is now in place. Somewhat dented, but some are there for a reason, headlamp recesses. You may be thinking, why is the fuel tank before the radiator. This was a typical British design, and yes they did tend to over heat.


This tractor was factory fitted with a dynamo, but the previous owner installed a alternator, so a brand new alternator has been refitted.


Me refitting the radiator frame to tank support bracket.



Now this was a complete bastard to refit. The rear draw bar assembly. It was a two man job, but now successfully in place.
