who want to buy a new tractor. Fordson advert for Tractors from about 1950. This copy has been around the world and is now in my possession. It started life in Canada, went to Australia and I was give access to it by my good friend Barry, in the Australian Fordson Club.
Fordson Advert
 
There were a lot of those sold here in Ontario Canada to mid size farmers. My dad used one extensively in Holland during the war and also used one here on our farm. It now belongs to a Fordson collector just a few miles away. Dad figured it was safer for his 3 boys to learn on a tractor with a left hand clutch. Personally, I never liked them as a farm implement with only 3 speeds and the ancient splash oil lubrication system, but pound for pound they would pull a heavier load than most other tractors of similar horsepower.
I still have my dad's other E27N that he adapted to run on wood as used in WW2

Can you post a photo of the wood burner?
My Dad talked about the French military trucks with the wood gassifier on the side during WWII.
Always fascinated me.
 
There was a Maidright conversion that turned them into a six speed. I was never a lover of the E27N, like you, found it to awkward to use with the PTO control low down under the seat on the right. You were trying to hold a heavy clutch down and trying to get it into gear, at full stretch for me.
 
That looks like the ad I posted from the Country Guide magazine. They sold a few of the "longhorns" here but I saw more of the newer type. Like this one from a 1952 ad.
