I used to do a bit of tractor restoration training in a college, one night a week....Always tried to get in early to get a look in the dumpster....We call them dump skips. Always got steel and wood out of there from the metal and woodworking classes, even got some storage cabinets. But one night I got the surprise of my life!......The mechenical section had changed their sponsorship from Ford-New Holland to JCB and a set of new Perkins engines and JCB transmissions had replaced the Ford engines and SLE gearboxes.....I got a New Holland 7840 six cyl engine and a Ford 4610 engine in the skip....both brand new and still in their packaging crates plus an SLE gearbox. Both engines went straight into tractors but the gearbox had been up and down a few times ,,,so we rebuilt it before fitting it.......Wish I had done the lottery that night on my way home......Sam
