I'm no expert but AFAIK the pto stops on these if the fanbelt breaks, check to see is the S belt loose.

Check the fan belt is it loose?

4000-7000?

Realistically 3500-4K, I'd shove it up on DD for 5500 and chance your arm, but if the cabs that bad you'll have a lot of tyre kickers.

We looked at second hand tractors in a few different places yesterday and today and reckon that we would have to spend €12 to €15k to replace it with something simular with a trade in offer of between €3k and €3.5k.
It's mechanically sound, starts on the key, breaks/handbrake works and does everything that we need it to do so we've decided to put a cap on the roof to keep out the rain.
Here is a pic of it yesterday morning after spreading slurry. I will post a pic of it after we put the capeen on it. BTW it doesn't go on the road.

Ya u just wont get the money for it even tho it's probably a better tractor than youl.get for 3 times the price, awful pity about the fiats rust problems

BP sorry at first glance I thought it was daylight where the number plate is:o. Have to head to specsavers soon. Mechanically it will stay going for longer than what you'll get today for €4-5k. Try keep it in a shed, Italians don't like rain.

K.G.

Have a similar issue here where the older tractor is doing most of the work.relying on an older tractor is risky so we have decided to sell the smaller newer tractor for something a bit bigger so that it would be able to back up the older bigger tractor.for what we d get for the older one she is just to valuable to us

It's a pity there are so many time wasters on donedeal you could probably get a lot more for it.

While true, a little bit of sheet metal a weld or 2 and some pop rivets can tidy up a cab a lot.

How come you didn't go ungalvanised so you could paint red again?

Only because that was the sheet metal that was to hand.

It fits quite nicely with the grey of the cab all the same too.

For the money they are offering for a trade, it could be worth your while keeping it as a good backup.
Get 5 or 10 years more work out of it and still be worth 3 or 3.5.
As another poster says keep it in a shed to try and preserve it

kevthegaff

Mainly the top of the cab is the problem from the pic, is it possible to replace this. I think that's why fiats are commanding such a price, rust has demolished most of them

OH was talking to someone and apparently a Tumosan cab fits but the mountings have to be adapted to make it fit - €5500 plus vat for a new one.
My brother is going to put a new cover on the roof and OH picked up two second hand front tyres for it yesterday.

TBH it's the main tractor, we have a renault 781 two wheel drive that is the back up and it runs the diet feeder and mower for topping.
It deteriorated very quickly in the last two years.

We should have a thread just for rust buckets and scraper tractors.

And rust bucket implements that still do the job. Go on you know you want to man

Theres a guy on one of the Facebook "Fiat 90 series" pages who rebuilds Fiat cabs.
Removes it and disassembles it completely, welds in new metal etc and rebuilds.
Asked him about rebuilding mine, and he refused....
Said it was too far gone, and that it'd be near €10, 000 giving the amount of labour involved.
Sounder cabs I think would still be costing 3-5,000 to rebuild.

Alternatively, there seems to be a trickle of complete s/h cabs coming in from Spain, virtually rust free.
Some crowd called NUTS ( New Used Tractor Spares).

What kinda cover will he use ? Some fiber glass kit could be a good job

Where's the best place to get a good rate on sterling cash does anyone know.
Need to get 4k sterling, the english stuff not the nordie stuff! - for a machine I'm buying.
Thanks

Revolut gives a very good exchange rate, so if you're travelling over you could convert your money and withdraw maybe from an atm. (Not sure on withdrawal limit)

Its a wonder the unionists stand for the so called main land not accepting their nordie sterling.

Six hundred million reasons a month.
Each one of them worth £1 sterling.
That's why they keep quiet.....

They won't mind the border in the Irish Sea later then so.
