local irish vintage tractor run recent photos

[greendragon3]

hi again everyone , we had a wee local vintage tractor run recently and i managed to get six of our zetors out for it , although the 3545 decided it didn't want to go anywhere after just three miles ( the steering has a lot of play in it and it became nearly impossible to steer the thing on the main road so we left it back in the shed , anyway we did over 60 mile and everything ran like clockwork including my crystal which was making its maiden voyage ( small unstoppable diesel leak on the injector pump but that's all ) i was leading the way with our 2511 so i didnt get a chance to take too many pictures except when we stopped for tea so here they are , enjoy .

nice... More and more of these classic tours here too, in the last few years.

Looks like a line up at a field days in the 1970's. You've done a great job with them. The roll frames are different to the ones in Australia. Were they a standard fitting in Ireland?

thanks guys for the reply's , the roll bars were an optional extra here in Ireland when new government laws were exercised regarding tractor safety , our 2511 did not come fitted with a roll bar but we retro fitted one during the restoration to keep them all the same and also to maintain some form of safety as we use them solely on road runs .
