6 Let it rain...
...or snow, or hail, a Nuffield 10/60 driver might have said, protected from the elements by a Lambourn cab. This 1967 cabbed 10/60 has been painstakingly restored.

20 Top notch restoration
While some owners retain their tractors in their working clothes, others prefer to spend many hours restoring a machine to the very highest standard. One such owner is Aidan Everard of Baldongan, Co Dublin.

24 High flying Deere
Duncan Heeps has fully restored this John Deere 1120 in his spare time while holding down a day job working on components for helicopters and Tornado aircraft.

28 Variety is the spice of life
With so many projects on the go in David White’s workshop it’s a wonder he had the time to tell us about them, or even take our correspondent for a spin in his 1915 Model T.

40 Cutting the mustard
Even though Trevor Alexander admits he was pushed to know one end of a tractor from the other when he took on the restoration of this Ferguson 35 Grey/Gold, his ‘knowledge of the spanner’ saw him through.

46 The big five-oh!
On his 1965 International B414 and living van Phil Elms had reached his first destination, the West of England Steam Engine Society rally at Stithians in Cornwall. Land’s End and home in Shaftsbury Dorset now beckoned.

Stephen Robson was disappointed that his Track Marshall 55 was not restored in time for his vintage rally at Honey Farm, but its debut at the Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage Show more than made up for that.
