    Put up a few pictures of it. After restoring a 4600 with a q can last years can tell you the cab will take a lot of time and money, but having it nice is hugely rewarding.

    If there is any rust cut it out and weld in panels. If the cab is bad, then try and get a solid replacement as you will save an ocean of time and the result will be better.

    Parts are plentiful, but some of the cab bits can be dear.

    Otter86 welcome to boards, you need 25 posts before you can put up photos. What's the tractor like mechanically? I'm guessing rubix cube gear change?

    I found these lads good, http://www.railswoodtractors.co.uk/ also a few others on ebay. Register with parcelmotel it's a handy way of getting parts from UK.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
