Hi I think I have managed to answer my own question. The loader was originally painted yellow, I then managed to get a few letters of the plate on the bucket and have come to the conclusion that it was made by a company called Grays of Fetterangus. On searching the internet I have only manage to fin...

Thanks for the info Brian. I had not heard of Cameron Gardner or farmhand.
I will have to see what I can find out about those companies

Hi Brian
I am near Stratford on Avon,UK.It could be a MIL but I have never seen one like this.

I think the gear should be in one pie...

Hi all I have a problem with the transmission brake on a SM. I do not have room to fit all the stationary plates onto the reverse idler gear.Even with the adjusting nut fully tightend the plates can still drop off the end of the shaft. All the plates are flat.The centre part of the reverse idler has...

Thanks Liam

HI I have recently purchased a 1962 Super Major.I have changed PTO seals,gearbox output seal and the crossshaft seals.I now have to get the hydraulics working.
