Laverda were primarily an agricultural machine manufacturer. My mate has a picture of his Jota parked in a barn at his uncle's farm (in northern Italy) next to a Laverda combine harvester.
I owned and used a Gibson garden tractor that looked a lot like this Norton version. Mine used a belt drive clutch arrangement, a three speed manual gear box and tiller steering. I had a single bottom plow, a cultivator/harrow and a pusher blade.
If you're into tractors or looking for something similar in the truck world, you might dig what's available at https://www.truckexporter.co.uk/. They've got a range of heavy-duty trucks and machinery that could match that Norton's rugged spirit.
Hey there tractor enthusiasts! I stumbled upon this awesome forum while browsing for some vintage tractor inspiration. Your Norton-powered tractor is an absolute gem! Reminds me of the one my granddad used to tinker with back in the day. The nostalgia hits hard. Speaking of parties, any chance you've spotted some good deals on used plant & machinery for sale lately? I'm on the lookout for some Construction Equipment, and I trust the recommendations of fellow tractor enthusiasts. Drop me some wisdom, friends!
