What is it?

Hey Guys

First off sorry if this is not the correct location for this topic but ive really wanted to find out what this is for years!

This machine has been in this position for as long as i can remember! I first noticed it when the local car boot sale was in the field next to it!

Never managed to get any good photos of it until today and even then its taken some heavy cropping to get it to where it might be recognizable!

Over the road from the farm is a International B100 (i think) track loader in the undergrowth!

Joe a total guess here but it looks like a Chaseside to me?

I think it's a Chaseside too, based on a Fordson 27N, but it's not a standard model.
It's a High Lift version with raised pivot and lengthened arms. These were made for loading railway waggons and hoppers in coal yards and the like.
The only pic I have of a High Lift is this earlier model based on a Fordson N.

In its current condition I doubt it would be worth anything more than scrap value; however getting the current owner to part company with it may be a different matter, it would certainly be a project worthy of restoration, a real classic!
Thanks Fred I knew you would know what it was.

Yeh thats what i thought! I doubt its worth anything other than maybe parts now! Its been sat there for atleast 10 years open to all the elements!
