Re: Fordson Powered Roller
My guess is an Aveling Barford. They made some for the war department in WWII, originally fitted with a 6 cylinder petrol engine. Most of them were converted by the civillian owners once the military sold them on as they were very thirsty on petrol. The first ones into civillian life often had E27N TVO and latterly E1A majors as the donors. I also think they had a very high top gear, fastest road roller made. Presumably to dodge the bullets??!!
Re: Fordson Powered Roller
I have the chance to buy a Fordson powered Austin Pup road roller. I believe it to be from the mid 1920's. At one time there was a wooden conopy over the machine sim. to what you would find on a steam tractor. It appears to be pretty compleat. Does any one here know anything about these? I have looked and posted inquires all over the net with no luck.I own and have restored a few farm tractors but I have never even seen one of these at any of the shows I have been to. It looks cool! Any help would be welcomed.
