Probably going to give it a wash and leave it as is, as far as I can see it's always been green, but not sure how original the paint is.

Was indeed a nice find, present to myself for my 20th birthday in a few weeks.

Managed to get it started, and drive it round to my house, the neighbours were chuffed!

Plough lifts using a pulley off the PTO, the pulley has a brake band around it to control the plough dropping.

it's always been green, I've scraped some of the oil off in places and theres quite a vibrant green underneath.

The ransomes decal on the engine has green under it aswell.

The mystery driver is Alex, the guy I baught it off in France, it is the picture he sent me.

There is a mysterious linkage attached to the PTO lever but isn't attached to anything, the other lever is for releasing the brake band.

That one has been cobbled together, the engine has an additional gearbox with foot clutch although it is a sachs. I have seen this on a forum before, it used to have a pile driver mounted to it.
