Ransomes, Simms & Jefferies Compound Traction Engine
Built 1927. Works No. 39070. 4nhp. Reg. No. IJ 5347. Built in 1927 and exhibited at the 1928 Royal Dublin Spring Show and was for sale at £300. Nothing is known about the engine from then until it was purchased in the 1940’s by William Manley of Baltingglass, Co. Wicklow, who was the last working owner. It was purchased in 1998 for major restoration by the present owners, the Huey family of Browndod, Larne. Most of the work has been done in our own workshop and has only been possible with the help of many good friends. Owned and restored by the Huey family, Browndod, Larne

Some time in the early 1960s.
WE were told of a steam tractor sitting on top of a derelict lorry in County Wicklow. I cannot remember where. However, we did find it and we identified it as likely a Ransomes tractor. I have a photo somewhere. If indeed this is that one then the restorers have done a wonderful job, she looked like a complete ruin then. regards David Powell.
