A well restored E27N hitched to a Sunshine header.

I always like to see what different purposes the old tractors served.
Nice old Fordsons. I would enjoy taking either for a spin.

No way to direct post from your computer John, without the sidebars.
You have to go through a photo hosting site for that.

Looks to me the same model with the petrol engine.
If you're talking about the tractor in the background.

The implement behind the E27N in photo 4 & 5 is a Sunshine header harvester with a grain front. These were built at Sunshine, near Melbourne in Victoria (our southern mainland state) and later taken over by Massey Harris. These headers were origionally ground driven and later either engine or PTO powered. The PTO option could have be an after market option. These headers were also built as self-propelled with Fordson N power trains fitted. This Fordson is powered by a P6 Perkins engine while the one in the background has the petrol engine.
No problems with floods Colin, as these were either right on the coast or further north. Lost a little time at work though due to roads cut for short periods but not like last summer though.

Regards,
John
