Loved by everyone, what a lovely film, just shows what kind of gentle soul he was....... St Peter, you've got a good one there, look after him please! Xx
Thank you for sharing this video! It’s reminded me of many of wilf’s generation that have passed through my life. The important thing when your gone is how you will be remembered and how many will miss your company, rest easy wilf a life well lived!👌
Hi This video just randomly popped up here in Canada. I'm originally from England. Rest in peace Wilf you are literally some of the last of a dying breed. They don't make many characters like you old guys anymore. I had a conversation here with another English friend of mine, who watches some channels I watch. I commented these channels with guys like Wilf should have more subscribers, he said it's because we're some of the last generation that relates to this stuff from our country upbringing I'm 50 and he's 65 .
Great video. Tractor and owner well suited, sensible man with knowledge of what was needed and appreciation for what he had. RIP. Keep up the good work.
He got a good deal on that 25D which is in beautiful condition. My father bought a 25D in 1973 here in Ireland. He paid £175 for it then. How the TH-cam algorithm found me with this lovely video is truly amazing. RIP.
@JamesCM793 Sorry I don't. He sold it in 1977 and I don't know what happened it then. From memory, the registration was ZM followed by four numbers, which was the format of County Galway registrations from Oct 1950 to Nov 1959. It was an older version of 25D than the one in this video, as it had the same rear wheels and hand throttle as was in the preceeding Cropmaster, unlike the one shown here.
@JamesCM793 They seem to have been relatively rare in our area (West of Ireland) compared to Fergies and Fordsons in the 50s and 60s. There was just our 25D and one 30D in our parish in the 70s. There had previously been a few Cropmasters and one 50D in the early 60s in the parish. By the 70s, there was a few Implematics and several Selectamatics. They didn't seem to engender the same sentiment as Fergusons and Fords, maybe because there wasn't enough of them around to be regarded as 'cool'. I think a lot of them were broken up for scrap.
@@dellhell8842 The thing about Fergusons and the Fords was they were simpler than the David Browns. Dad changed to Massey Ferguson 35s and the 135 because as he said they were easier to maintain. For all that he always said Fergusons had a slow PTO and the brakes were nowhere near as good as the Brown's.
God bless you Wilf.
The last connection with a by gone era when life was so simple.
Sleep well my man, sleep well.

Do you know the registration number of it?

@@dellhell8842 Thanks, Dad bought one new in 1955, I tracked it to 1969 but no luck after that. Regards, James.

1st tractor I drove back in 1963 25D wasn't a bad tractor in its day.
