Update on it, I have nearby completed the restoration just need the seat, I am pleased with how it turned out! Here are a few photos

It's time for some digging then

I agree

Ok, but so,e have a number on, is that for the deluxe model. Is there any way I can date it?

I have recently tried to find the chassis number but instead I found a marking on it of CT, does anybody know what this could mean?

I have just bought another tractor to add to the fleet. It is a Martin Markham Colt tractor with the optional pto and hydraulic lift included. I have the original cultivator and plough to go with it as well. The previous owner had had it from new so is one owner! He also said he had probably done less than 50hours work which is remarkable, it has the original rear tyres and they look brand new. The only problem it has really is the hydraulic lift will not lower once it is up. i would upload pictures but I can seem to upload them.

Correct, I thought it was a good price for a bit of TV history, have now found out that it is Citroen 2cv engine in it.

can you remember this, bearing in mind it was before i was born and i am 15? sorry but cant get the picture the right way round

So, I managed to get the engine going today with some help from Chris. Cleaned the difficult to reach points and away she went. The engine runs very well, however the recoil is broken and it also needs an air filter assembly. It is a 130905 model, I have had a look online but can't really find anything in the UK Thanks

Looks really really good Ewan, a work of art.

Was that on eBay along with the other 3 mowers?

managed to upload the photos

I have now got a rolling chassis together, now just to start adding parts bit by bit

I can't seem to upload any more pictures, it was only down the road in Ashington

I picked this up recently. I think it is a simplicity serf 525. It is a very small tractor and looks quite cool. I'm not sure but I think it is 1969 and I think it has the original engine. Any help on identification would be appreciated. I will prob give it a light restoration some time as shouldn't take to long.

bolens???

You can get second hand parts but they are still quite pricey. You might be better off trying to find a second hand gearbox, also taking apart the hydrostatic transmission are not the easiest but can be done.

That looks really nice, definitely a head turner!!

Nice video

Welcome to MOM, I cannot tell you anything about it but others can, nice tractor

Will check tomorrow as can't remember but I got them from allterraintyres.co.uk

Another update, all disassembled now, chassis is painted and most other bits. Done the transmission which was a pain as all greasy and very heavy! Sourced tyres and got wheels painted. Thanks to Chris for putting them on for me. Here's a few pics.
