Has anyone on the Forum got a BMC Mini tractor as in the latest ME mag? I have heard of one available and would like to know of any weaknesses and things to check for. Regards Al |

No , but I want one , shame you're on the wrong side of the ditch .... After reading the article in TME my father said there were a fair few sold in the local area in their day and they weren't too bad so long as you didn't try to do too much with them , not a super heavy duty tractor , think of it as more of a big ride on mower . |

Me too! There were a few sold in NZ but generally thought of as being too small to be useful. I seem to recall winter starting was a problem too but I think I still want one. I think I do ??? Al |

Was that the blue one with the mini engine/box mounted sideways and a driveshaft forwards and back to seperate diffs to make 4wd though ? If it's the one I was thinking of it's not an original . |

Later ones were blue and named Leyland. The original ones were poppy red and about the same size, perhaps slightly smaller, as an old grey Fergy TEA. Regards Al |

Your correct John, HD has 2 BMC mini tractors and he loves them dearly, he uses one of them on his farm reguarly. I have had the pleasere of operating one of them and they are great! Henry has the workshop manual & parts cataloges and he also has some NOS pistons, they sat on the shelf at NMP for many years and i would on occasion open up the BMC box and have a look! I seriously doubt he will part with them, he is always on the lookout for more! Regards DW. |
