    was looking at a TS100 over the weekend, all looked good, no oil leaks or drips or blowing but i did notice that the top half of the exhaust (bonnet one not a cab mounted one) was rusty. just wondering if this is something that might be a sign of something else?

    was working on a tillage farm in england, just worried incase it meant the engine was running hot or something.

    Any chance it was damaged and replaced with a spurious one? There was a fairly good enamel coating on the one here, never rusted anything that I remember anyways, the silencer box was fairly rusty all right but they only got a light coat of paint out of the factory.

    If you go for one make sure the bolt that goes into the side of the block through the plate under the silencer stays there :( new box of it doesn't as it'll crack the little swan neck that comes from the turbo up to it

    I'll have a closer look when I go back. Thing is I really like it so trying to make sure I have covered as much as I can before I make an offer. Going to be over my original budget but long term it looks a better prospect then the 7740 I was looking at too.

    They're a lovely tractor to spend time in! couldn't fault the one we had here, bit bouncy if you have no loader or weights up front, but that may have been that we had the front tire pressure up for the loader,
