The Field Marshal start up

This tractor was purchased new in 1947 by my father.
It has been beautifully restored by its current owner, Nicol Mackenzie, who took four years to complete the project.
As a small boy I was fascinated by the fact that it was started with the blast of a 12 bore cartridge.

    What a beautiful example of an old PopPop Marshall. We used one often for threshing with the old threshing drum, elevator for stacking the straw etc. Dad used to let me light the litmus paper and strike the starting cartridge after he had set it all up. After the first start of the day it was usually started with the handle after setting the decrompresion control to maximum to give time for several fast build up turns. It was a matter of pride to start it first attempt. We also had a Marshal Crawler Tracked version, rather unusual too in our area. I was about 12 years old I suppose and I was allowed to use that one, under supervision of my older brother, for rolling, harrowing and so on. Still remember how difficult I found the gear selector levers at times. MEMORIES !.

    Years ago I accidentally came across an antique tractor show in a field half a mile from where I lived. I called in and met the guy from over the road from me with his antique tractor. I had no idea that he had it. It had been in his family from new! It was a special narrow model for orchard use, tending fruit trees. Anyway, someone else at the show had a tractor that used exactly this starting procedure. He used shotgun shells that he'd taken the shot out of himself. I was amazed; I'd never seen anything like it before. Sadly, my neighbour has been gone for years now. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Any praise for the quality of the restoration should go to Mr Nicol Mackenzie who spent four years returning the tractor to a living machine from being a pile of scrap.
