haven't used them myself, but if thats roberts engineering in carlow (I think), then they are pretty good.

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

Roberts eng they are in Wexford I got them to recondition a ford 7600 engine in 96 and another 76 engine (different tractor) in 2004. Excellent to deal with and I was very satisfied with their work.

Used Roberts too for a 4600 engine. First one made a strange "zing" noise and dumped the contents of the rad into the sump a day after being fitted.

It was sorted out though and a new one fitted quickly.

I would use them again.
