Indeed - see Sexton serial numbers. That's all I know at this point in time Carl, sorry.

Thanks guys for your help so far. I tend to favour it being an early 1945 build ?
Anyway have attached a couple of pics. Its having a make over and will be at War and Peace Show again this year.
Jesse as you can see it has a 3 piece differential which ties in with what you say.

Carl; How extensive of a restoration are you planning? Jesse.

I won't be stripping and restoring it to the level that you have done yours. We just wanted to get it up and running again and make it as complete as possible. Pics attached of what it was like when we got it. It came from SECO where yours came from, and was one of the last 3 remaining in their yard.
As you can see it was in a real state. Hope to have it looking more like a sexton again within the month.

Carl; An exiting project. Amazing how complete these Sextons were after all the years. Jesse.
