    they came out very nice , yes that is the fiat hiding under all that plastic sheeting , don't want any off spray on the new paint !! we also got a new LED beacon for the roof this week and we invested in a few new fire extinguishers for the workshop , safety first and all that kind of thing .

    Fantastic work, you should have a TV program. I would happily watch a program which shows such a high level of skill and insight. Keep up the work.

    thanks lad , funny enough that you should mention that i had a chap approach me last year wanting to do a pilot episode to air to the discovery channel , a kind of a fly on the wall time lapse thing of a full build from start to finish , he said he would be back when he could secure some funding so who knows ha ha , we could be the next tuetuls !!!!! :o:(:P

    so we got her pulled out today and gave her a good wash and a wee run down the road to check for any leaks or anything else untoward , we also want to re torque the wheels bolts after a wee run just to make sure they don't come loose .

    Hard to believe that a 17 year old trator could look so good. The owner won't believe his eyes.

    It will be a shame to get it dirty!! :D

    thanks for all the kind comments guys , the owner hasn't seen it yet so hopefully he will be happy with her , i know it would be a shame to dirty it but it is still a working tractor at the end of the day so she will have to earn her keep balling and wrapping for the summer , in fairness to the owner it never got any abuse over the years and was always well maintained and cared for so if it gets the same treatment now it will last him for another 20 years no bother .

    That is epic!! They really stand the test of time when you see one that good. Top work GD. Not many in the country doing work like that on large tractors. I tip my hat to you sir!

    To be fair to the owner, it looked pretty much spot on before the rebuild. Nothing damaged or bent out of shape etc.
    Not taking anything away from the work done though.


    If that tractor was traded to a dealer, it would have got a spot of filler around the windscreen, A quick run with the spray gun and out the door so its great to see such a detailed strip down and rebuild.
