JimD 4 #11 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) That is a very interesting machine to say the least. It looks like a tough tractor worthy of the restoration you've given it. Impressive! Edited January 26, 2014 by JimD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigel 1,874 #14 Posted March 8, 2014 the auto electrician and i started to rewire it this week spent 3 days so far and its still not finished its a realy complicated system on this thing but ime doing it properly its even got indicators and every thing should be watertight and it wont catch light, also fitted new glow plugs and injectors .anyway i will update with photos very soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigel 1,874 #16 Posted March 11, 2014 started the holder up today first time in 6 months and let dennis ride it around the yard will finish the wiring tommorow, its got a few teething problems to sought out after fitting new injectors and glow plugs it seems very hard to start from cold i hope its just air and not the pump starts ok once its warm 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #17 Posted March 11, 2014 It's good to see the Holder out and about again Nigel. Seeing her (The Holder not Dennis ) on the move somehow makes the restoration you have done look all the more impressive.. Top stuff Sir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
