[QUOTE="Mattyp64, post: 7791125, member: 163559"] I didn’t get a chance to take pictures I was planning to but only managed to write some notes on things to ask about. The guy made a point of starting it when cold to show it was not Smokey and to be dose it started and ran really well. the front tyres looked good didn’t look worn in an odd pattern. The cab is fairly rusty (although I’m in the highlands and it’s odd to find one that not) the doors opened and closed fine so structurally it seems ok, the inside looks pretty rough, looks like the original seat has been replaced at some point with a generic one. I Kinda have a an idea of what I’m looking at as I’m a car restorer by trade but my first encounter with these tractor things has been restoring a Massey 35 my dad picked up last year so it’s all a bit alien. I told the guy I was gonna let him know if I wanted it next week as he’s going away tomorrow for a few days, and it gives me a chance to ask you guys and see if I’m opening a hole can or worms I’m not prepared for, experience wise or wallet wise.
