Your looking for rocking horse sh*t! Think you will struggle to find one as they don't export 550s unlike the larger models the 500 series has 3 different cabs 550 has its own the 565 is different and the 590 different again a cant mind but 575 is either the same as the 575 or the 590 cab. The main differences are the cab floors. I tried to find a cab floor mat for a 550 as I have 2 and both have them missing and that prove impossible.

550 A type cab
565 B type cab
575, 590, 595 C type cab

Bee nice to see the 550 done though @REStracTORATION

Erm they vary
A multi power with low hours and really good condition 7kish ive seen them at
But average off farm condition £3500-5 ish depending

Rough as a badgers arse 1500 2500

These figures aint exact just what ive seen

A restored one well that would be telling now wouldnt it haha

The mp ones are the ones to have imo
The one we have is a mp 2600hrs but cab is the bad point

Cheers
Just been thinking what smallish tractor i can invest a bit money in and restore over time.
Any suggestions ,any particular models out there?

 

[REStracTORATION]

All depends what you want to spend really and how much you would like to see it grow in value

Any pictures of it our mudgaurds are see through in places the top joint of cab seams are all swelled aswell so if a picture i could compare ours with yours to make life easier

Thankyou very much

sorry....i carefully cut it off so it's from the bottom window up and the doors....back window is still in tact to it....its was sore job to have to do it...but when you rely on a tractor 365 days a year....it seem to be justified at the time. I can get some pics of it tomorrow if you're still interested
