the showman 4,074 #3 Posted October 23, 2017 As I'm only selling them they are having the oily rag treatment, not worth all the cost and labour of doing a full restoration then fighting to get the money back 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 524 #11 Posted October 24, 2017 Be a shame to sell them chris , I'm sure you can come up with another great creation . 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #12 Posted October 24, 2017 Got a few more bits fitted today, rear fender support, dash tower and dash and righthand footrest. all the steering fitted and greased also connected the clutch and brake. Must remember when i take tractors apart to remove broken spiltpins from operating rods very annoying when rebuilding them. 8 minutes ago, neil said: Be a shame to sell them chris , I'm sure you can come up with another great creation .
