How long did that outfit stay trading for ?

On a tangent , in about 1978 , a crowd from Clonmel , I think , leased the International garage in Rathdowney , from the owner , Kieran Cummins, for a couple of years , while he concentrated on spannering for the haulage side of his business. Agritrac , they called themselves . They sold a lot of FORT 5 ft 6 drum mowers , which gave good enough accounts of themselves.
I dont know know how long they traded for , but by 1985 , the "Cummins Garage " sticker was back on new Internationals .
Maybe @Tengtooltom would know ?
That , in turn ceased trading in 2001. There is a tyre sales/fitter there now.

.

I think they closed end of '93, I bought a 7740 there in'92, the next one was a '95 from Meehan & Slattery.

When did Tom Slattery leave us then?

You must have had several 7740s so ?
A 92 would be a white roof , and from the 1st year of 40 series production and from what I remember of photos you put up of your current 7740 , it's a blue roof.
How did it go for you ? There wasnt much thought of 40s around here , until they started to get to 10 k hours plus , and then they were great yokes. They wouldnt have appeared much around here until the early 00s , ex UK

Go back to here http://www.forum4farming.com/forum/index.php?threads/seen-for-sale.1064/page-675#post-584681 , the picture is gone in the link but the reg was 92 TS 1916 hence the tag.

5 or 6 stud front axle. O'Connor's above would be first call unless you find a set in the UK.

Funny you should ask that.....
I was parked behind this Fiat 95/90 on Sunday at the tractor run . I remarked to the owner that it must have been repainted fairly recently , and that it would a scarce and desirable tractor . Ya , we spent a nice bit on her 2 years ago . We spent €6000 on her . Now , that included a new Dromone PUH.
She is mechanically 100 % , and what would we have bought for for 6 grand and it ?

Maybe it's only me , but I think I see a big bubble beside the click clack lever.

I didn't know him. But thought him relatively local. Tractor has David Grant stickers on it . I presume he sprayed it 2 years ago if his stickers are on it . And possibly sold it it to him previously.

 

[Tipp_Man]

Tom Slattery is no longer with us, not sure about Tommy Gorman but afaik his daughter works for Atkins in Bandon having worked for Atkins in Dundrum after they took it over.

When did Tom Slattery leave us then?

Same question from me

@Arthur are you 100% sure of that?

He did a decent job on it. A bit more than id like to spend getting a tractor doneup

What age man roughly was on that tractor? Im trying to think if its a fella from near roscrea that owns it. If its d 1 im thinking of he uses it for diet feeding and spraying i had to tow him up a steep hill to his other yard 1 frosty morning he lost grip

35 to 40.
He had a Fleming bale handler on the back , and a Rossmore loader on the front . So doubt he is using a diet feeder with it .

I’d allow 2k at least, as when your start at it you will find other bits to replace and tidy up.

other hand you could do a handy job for 1000

I had a notion there lately to spruce it up for selling its not getting used enough here. A good wash would make it look not to bad
