It was the restoration of a Leyland 285 Synchro which started the road to Tractor Spare Parts as it stands today. Andrew Griffin and his father, Michael, started the restoration as Michael wanted to use the tractor on the family farm and for his cabinet maker and joinery business. Having previously been a fitter for the Burgess group in their Leyland dealership in Derby Michael fancied a return to the Leyland marque after years with a Ford 5000 with a front-end loader. Little did Andrew and Michael know how difficult the restoration would be or what it would lead to.
Not being able to source a lot of the tinwork for the tractor, such as the door frames and the rear window, Andrew set about drawing the parts and making the tooling for their remanufacture; having trained as a tool maker with a well-known construction equipment company.
We sell a lot of these light switches and we are bound to come across a rogue switch every so often, so I am sorry if this has happened to you.
In what was did it fall apart? If you could let me know, so that I can go and check the other stock so that this does not happen again, I would be appreciative.
If you want a replacement then please let me know.
