In the summer of 2024, we were approached by the Eilidh Macleod Memorial Trust, asking whether we might help in their restoration of a Fordson Major tractor which would be used to promote their Trust’s events
Amongst other things, the tractor needed a radiator…
We receieved a diagram and some measurements
...and manufactured a radiator
which was then collected by mechanic Les and installed into the tractor at his workshop
The Trust had enquired whether a charitable discount might be considered for the radiator’s manufacture
On learning of the admirable aims of the charity with children, music and aspiring young musicians in remote areas, we decided on a discount of 100%...
Update spring 2025
The fully refurbished tractor was revealed in Winsford on Saturday 29th March 2025, (unveiled by Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham), and ‘Pole Star’ was introduced to the world in its’ glorious purple livery to embark on what we are confident will be a further successful season of fundraising events
Good luck in the future to everybody at Eilidh’s Memorial Trust from Northern Radiators!
