    Wouldn't agree with your valuation there!

    Suppose it’s down to the individual buying and his options to get a book or if it bothers him at all.

    Personally I’d never buy a machine for use with no book

    If I had the money I'd buy this to replace the 880.

    A lot of money for a tractor that’s nearly 40 years old

    It would be well serviced and looked after as they run a top class operation.

    Alot to be said for the older tractors, and how much power they can have at the pto with no modern electronic transmission sapping it's power. This Fiat 88-94 looks like a good goer, showing 100 hp at the pto.

    Wrong thread maybe but I'm from a farm but I have no clue about tractors etc. How do I learn how to fix things and restore things? How do I know what something needs?

    Even something like fixing lights, wiring new lighting. Is it difficult to learn?

    YouTube videos, lots of stuff up there, there's also lots of dedicated sites ,a lot of agricultural stuff is fairly straightforward ,if you are anyway mechanically minded you should be able to manage quite a few jobs,

    I would not. Being Re registered in this country doesn't help its value. Imo that's 1 to 1.5k off its value. Even if it's a good job done to it, it's still a MF135 in all but name. I think 1987 was one of the last years they were produced on the UK and Irish Market which helps its value.

    It's worth 7.5 to 8k but I still wouldn't buy her.

    Looks like someone had a heap of spare black and gold paint they wanted to get rid of, look horrendous.

    52 days on DD would say not.
    If mechanically sound, it is worth a bid - doesn't take much (in the scheme of things) to blow a coat of paint over it. Hard to actually tell the condition of it from the photos, I'd like to know why it was painted in those colours - it looks recent and the smart money would have been in returning it to factory scheme.
    A few tacky add-on's but nothing off-putting.

    Should probably have addressed the colour scheme in the advert, will get polluted with eejits phoning up wanting to know the heritage of it. Whenever I put up ads I write up a lot of info about it - weeds out people phoning asking stupid questions (mostly).

    If it was mechanically sound and the price was right, it wouldn't put me off. I'd drive it about for a while to make sure it was okay and then blow a coat of paint over it.

    Not sure if they are looking €25.5k for it. If so, it is step even if it was in standard colours.

    It’s got the dodgy gearbox so at a max even if original 16k incl vat would be a good price for it, it’s getting very hard to even source parts for f series tractors especially with the gearbox it has
