6cyl major

Yes, but is it not the case that it was the T20 that just had foot pegs and both the FE35 (grey and gold) and the MF35, like yours, always had footplates? Good job with the restoration though.

Oh yes, I appreciate that it should have them. The ones off it were scrap, and I just didn't get any more. I probably won't until I fall off it because it has no plates!
Thanks for the resto comment

Agriline have them in stock. Just one thing about your restoration, I came home from school one day in 1959 and my father had a new a new 4 cylinder delivered that day. I went harrowing with it after I'd had my tea. I seem to remember that the chassis and wheels were painted with a lighter shade of grey.

I agree, the red is the right colour. The grey is an industrial paint if some description and is one or two shades dark.
Actually, it isn't a perfect restoration by any means. It's got the odd incorrect part that had been fitted in a previous life. Lift arms don't match, leveling box is te20 maybe more. But they work, and so does the tractor, and I really like it!
