Hi Gang; This is the English built Fordson N tractor from the 1940 era. Still has wide fenders but the top supports are now pressed steel, and the fronts cut away to save steel in wartime. The Fordson N accounted for 95% of all tractors on use in Britain during WW2. The plough is a Ransomes fitted with extra long mold boards (bodies) which produce the "oat seed furrow" which is shallow & narrow and set up to a pointed top - the guy is hold one of the "boats" which are steel towed by a chain to form & press the furrow into the ^ shape. The furrows would be 8 inches wide & 4 inches deep. The reason for leaving the furrows with 2 sides exposed is that the frost can break down the soil over winter to assist making a seedbed in the spring. Cheers David
