Roy: The thought occured to me after my earlier post, just may be some component of that tractor was indeed made in Canada. My first introduction to these tractors was in 1970, when a British Immigrant bought a farm about 2 miles from me. He brought a fair bit of equipment with him from Britain. Only one tractor and it was a John Deere, not sure on the model but I think 2120. His family owned Farmalls in Britain and he had been warned against bringing them to Canada. He was quite a died in the wool John Deere man by then anyway. I think a lot of those B-250 and B-275 tractors have by now received engine upgrades in conjunction with engine rebuilds that have made them much better starters. The 414 and 434 really were much the same tractor and while not great starting tractors compared to the old gas Farmalls we were used to, they were a big improvment over the B-250 and B-275. I have run across B-275 that start much better today than 4 decades ago. One item I have never gottem completely clear is just how much of the Super BMD and B-450 were actually built in Britain? The message I seemed to get from my neighbor was they were pretty much an American built Super M with the British engine added. However the Super BMD and B-450 had a factory 3 point hitches, which means the rear housing must have been different. Did either of these tractors ever have Live or Independant PTO? Here all Farmalls over 30 hp were independant PTO from 1955 on, or at least it could be installed. Your Super BMD on the other hand was built into the late 50s and B-450 to the mid 60s. I understand both Super BMD and B-450 both had live hydraulics. Well I think I got through that without calling it a BMW, something I have done in past.

The Day Tractor Lovers Dream About - by Angus Crawford. The day started at five o'clock on the morning of Friday, the January 29, 1999.
