Were they factory fitted by Massey or were they built by another company and fitted after

Hi 2pack. Tractor is in good nic but needs some work done, seals and stuff. I'm not a mechanic so just wanted manual to follow. I've been told there's not many of them about so its hard enough to source stuff. Will he do full restoration, what's it like at the moment??

Have you any Pictures?
This one is 1986 and yes they are scarce and I think worth doing up.
He got the engine reconditioned in it.
Its not like much at present as stripped inside and most panels off and away getting painted with two-pack paint.
Bottom of doors very very rusty and bad spots in the mudguards too,
Not sure if all come with air/con but this one has...

out of curiosity, and call me a novice,
is the creeper box you talk about, the low box?

as in one gear lever for 1-2-3-R, and another for L-N-H?
just wondering what all this talk it about

No Dave, the Creeper Box is an other reduction gear even slower then low Box! hence the Word Creeper :pac:

Ah rite, realistically how slow do people need it, low 1 in the 165 is barely moving,
