Lang,
Regarding the photo of the Fordson with the crane on, I think this is a conversion by Stanhay of Ashford, Kent. They were operated by compressed air and you can see the compressor on the side of the transmission. The company manufactured agricultural machinery and I worked for one of its subsidiaries in my early working life.
