Were all Ursus yellow until the early 70's.I think the trojan was the 4cyl and the titan 6cyl.
They then changed to maroon with the C385 &1204

Fairly sure that the Maroon / Purple before the Yellow panels Blue chassis. I had a purple 385 . 12/74 was stamped on the block . @ZetorMan98 bought it from me 5 years ago.

i only remember them being a kind of purple or maroon first before the yellow and blue trojans were sold as a limited edition i think and they were still maroon after that until the went orange in the 80s , you could be right about the titan being 6 cyl though,its a pity @nashmach wasn,t an ursus fan instead of wasting his time on fords as he would know these things now

I have seen PV Wright weights before probably made in the ivi also . The foundry out at Bergins make some nice cast street lights .
 
We had a guy, "Black" Jack Doherty, who cast the IH weights for us many years ago. He was less than a quarter of the price of the original ones.

Yes, they were John Deere dealers in later years. I can remember passing their premises many a time, on a Saturday morning back in the late 1980's/early 1990's, when heading to Tullamore machinery spotting with my father and uncle. I don't ever remember them in their International Harvester days.
