[QUOTE="DeeBee, post: 7750744, member: 162801"] My first thought was that rust weakened it. It is certainly showing signs of age but I keep checking and nothings really eaten away, still solid. On inspecting the beam where it broke it was bright metal - but thinned where it had been flexing under stress. I reckon now is just the nick of time to grind off all the old rust and get some red oxide and good topcoat on it. Oh yes, and the bed is thinning admittedly. One other thing it would benefit greatly from would be some wide low ground pressure tyres. So I'm looking at my own labour, paint, the cost of repairs, a new bed and new wheels and tyres. Undoubtedly will cost a few quid but I'm guessing less than the 2,000 plus it would cost me to get a new one.. that isn't as well built. I'm a bit of a nut for classic gear anyway, the tractor is 1985 and I have an old 1984 Landrover defender.. all in need of plenty TLC. [/QUOTE]
