    Well done.

    Did you do all the work yourself?

    I wouldn't be the biggest fan of tractors, but I got to say it looks well.

    thats a nice job.
    you must have spent a lot of money on it new tyres parts etc.
    its nice to see a quality restoration job done .
    will you be bringing it to vintage rallies?

    Well the resto cost a fair bit alright id say including purchase price around 4500euro, I was on a time limit so it started the first day of february and finished on the 1st of June, that was because our new vintage club was takin on our first road run on the 6th of june and it had to be ready for it as the run was dedicated to my good friend that passed away a couple of years ago, it was kinda a sentimental thing ! If anyone is interested i restore tractors- well a couple a year, im not cheap as i take great pride in the finished article and money really wouldnt want to be an issue as i dont try to fix old crap parts its easier and better to go new;)
    Oh ya mossfort ive had it at a few and was asked to bring it to a few as i do a wee stand typr thing with resto pics etc, i have a plough grubber and ridger aswell and it looks well all set up at a show

    Hi Dan Findy

    Thanks for that, if you have time can you write a bit more, things like where you got the spares and what type of paint you used.

    Cheers and well done
