Fordson Major E1A Six-Cylinder Conversion at Tractor Fest 2024

This tractor caught my eye at Tractor Fest 2024. It appears to be the back end of a Fordson Major E1A tractor, coupled to a six cylinder 10.5L Gardner Engine. (145 HP?)
I imagine that this tractor is bespoke, a real one-off classic tractor. The whole tractor is finished to a very high standard.

I Have Never heard it Run I Would Love To

Yes indeed a one off, I spoke with the owner a few years back, I think in a Yorkshire show, started life as an aircraft tug , then he added the Gardner, cute little job. Also had a chat with the guy who had the huge red Pacific truck with the RR 220 engine, ten ft wide , tyres 4ft tall, 6x4 twin duals on the rear , nice bit of truck. Flat out @30 ish he told me, and I wouldn't like trying to stop it.

Thanks for the additional info. It is certainly a very interesting Fordson.

[@seamusmiggin5140]

@@TonyBrassington just a very disappointing Fordson sound as he drove away, ya know like.

Very nice, but I wanted to hear it run 😪

[@TonyBrassington]

It would have been great to hear it running.
