Wow Geoffrey Hell of a set up I wonder what tractor replaced the

Hi Nick, it is quite a monster. I am not sure what they got next. Thanks from Geoffrey

[@glendawagner8825]

In 1960, Barry's first tractor that he drove when he left school was a W9. It always smelt of kerosene and our neighbours wanted to buy it to put a Perkins engine in it because they heard they were that strong in the transmission. Never happened and we kept it for years until he sold it, then I drove a 554 Inter, which was more modern at that time.

Hi Glenda, Perkins engines were always a popular engine to retrofit. The 554s were a good tractor. I almost got one last year but it was a bit too far gorn. Thanks from Geoffrey

Wow massive how long did they use them

[@brookdalefarm7986]

Hi David, I am not sure exactly how long they used them for, but it was quite a long time. They built 1 and it worked so well that they built 2 more. Thanks from Geoffrey

How would the driver know if something went wrong with the implement

[@brookdalefarm7986]

Hi, it was a long way to look back in the mirror to see the implements, and with a little bit of dust it would have hidden the machine. The only way to know is to stop and check it regularly. If something major went wrong like one plough broke off or there was a big trash up often you can hear a change in the pitch of the tractor engine. You get use to listening as much as looking. Thanks from Geoffrey

What’s the significance of the GO 1435 number plate? 0:27

[@haydenwilliams1750]

Here in Western Australia the first few letters of the numberplate are for the shire the vehicle was licensed in. In this case GO = Goomalling. AL=Albany, BY=Bunbury ect. The numbers just went up sequentially from 1 as the plates were issued so here we have the 1435th plate issued by Goomalling shire. There's also standard plates that are an anonymous jumble of letters and numbers with no shire prefix, you get to choose what you want when you license a vehicle.

@@haydenwilliams1750 cool. NSW doesn’t have such Pride in showing localities like that.

[@brookdalefarm7986]

Hi Paper, yes all the larger country towns in Western Australia have their own letter prefix on the number plates. We live in Toodyay so most of ours start with a T. Thanks from Geoffrey
