  A visit to Crawfords workshops is like stepping back to the 1940's but with modern tractors mixed in and a trip around the private museum is a sight to behold - wall to wall unique historical Tractors and steam engines

  Steve, if you just ring Robert Crawford and ask he will arrange it for you. He is a true gentleman and I have always found him to be very obliging.
