Which gear you were using during the pulling? 5. or 4.

Did you use glow plugs or just pulling so long it will "warm up" and start ?

We had one then a B.450. 5 forward gears, 1,slow, 2 , a bit faster, 3, oh thats a nice working gear, 4 a bit faster still and 5 Oh bloody hell hang on to your seat!

We had one, I barely remember it (We traded it in for a B.450 in 1961 and I was only 5 years old then ) But talk about a bad starter! My uncle used to reverse it up i on top of a mill bank which was in our yard every night, switch the engine in off then latch the brakes , ( Probably left it in reverse gear too) then throw a tarpaulin over it. The the next time he wanted to use it he would take the tarp off, sit on the seat, heat up the glowplugs then release the brakes, let it roll down the slope then let the clutch out! 😮

We had one of these on our farm in the South Island of nz in the late 80s. Same procedure to get it started, tow it round the yard for few minutes pre hay making season. Uncle would yell at us if we stalled it. Thanks for the memories 🍺

Hello Martin what height is the tractor to the top of the steering wheel please.

It's too bad that we didn't get something like the super BMD in the states. The sheet metal on the hundred series looks nice, but it makes maintenance a pain in the butt.
