Many thanks as always Tom! I'll compare these names with the listing and see what I can come up with.

One query though: does Russell Turner have two Best 60's? I've already identified his tractor 2363-A as the one in the pic below (from his name on the info sheet), but this one has a mesh in front of the radiator, whereas the one in my post above (second row, first pic) doesn't so not the same tractor.

All the best

David:

If that is not RT's then it belongs to Traynham Ranches. Interesting that both have the wrong carbs with Cat 60 Ensign as oposed to the Stromburg that they should have.

Thanks Tom. Does that mean that Traynham Ranches own the tractors in the first and second photos in the bottom row then, or is the tractor in the second photo someone else's?

David

David,

I will check the pics and let you know the results.

I sent you several emails with pics and info

Thanks Erik. We need to compare notes soon on the serial number listings, as I've been overhauling mine recently and might have some new numbers for you to add to your pages?

All the best

David 👋
