My first employer had an agency for those tractors but did not sell many. We had one as a yard tractor but the single cylinder diesel engine was a poor starter so it was taken out and an engine from a Ford Popular 10hp put in its place along with the Ford gearbox. This gave the tractor a three range plus reverse in front of the three range and reverse of the original gearbox. The tractor was a three wheeled version and we boys were instructed on pain of having our driving permits revoked, never to drive the tractor in "Double Top", both gearboxes in top gear. The tractor would do around 40 mph with those gears selected. In "Double Reverse" however, you could put it in gear, get off the tractor and go and have a cup of tea and when you got back the tractor would only have moved a few yards.
She was permanently attached to a wood saw and our job as boys was to cut up wood for the central heating boiler that heated the four bay workshop, stores area and showroom. The pulley that drove the circular saw also drove through the three speed plus reverse Ford box so some pretty high speeds could be achieved at the saw blade end.
This is over 50 years ago and the tractor and saw bench are still owned locally. I saw her on the back of a truck only a few weeks ago.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
