An English AC "G"

[Rob-B]

I have just returned from vacation up at my families cottage in Northwestern Vermont. While I was there I deliveried Maynard's HB-116 that we picked up eariler this year. Had a quick but very nice visit. Anyway, while up in what I consider "GOD'S" country i did my usual tractor hunting. There is a place I always stop in the Swanton/ST. Alban area.

[img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/uploaded/rob-b/david%20brown2.JPG[/img] but upon closer inspection, its the "English" version. [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/uploaded/rob-b/david%20brown3.JPG[/img] It was sold at there April Auction, but sales person doesn't remember how much it sold for.

I think David Brown was manufactured by Case.

WNC : If your serious there is a "G" up the road from me for sale, I could go check on it for you if you like. Send me a pm if your interested.

I do know there are quite a few David brown tractors around N.C. I see them for sale every now and then. Belive the inventor was from England.

David Brown was an English tractor company. It was purchased by J.I. Case Corporation somewhere in the late 60's or early 70's. Pat

My cousins in County Donegal, Ireland have one exactly like that. In fact, I tuned and tweaked it last time I was there. I was suprised and impressed with the machine's abilities. It's a very nefty little machine.

Rob B my cousin has a camp just below St. Albans bay(in Georgia Center. I have been to the Bayside pavillion where you can get 2 lobsters for ~$15.00 plus two side orders. I have had some good times up there. JH
