Any cabs about for one a rot free ish one if possible
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.

Thankyou an dahm everyjob is a headscratcher of late
 
Sorry hiyjack slightly but how much are tidyish 550 worth??
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
 
Only looking £4000-£5000 budget max
And aslong as i dont loose money id be happy!
A 135 petrol a 148 mp 35xmp are the obvious ones
Something nice an original that hasnt been painted or messed about with

We have a few tractors that all need jobs doing think we have 30ish to choose from ive lost count we had 90 but chipped away at tthem.
We have a tidy little leyland 154 mini tractor an a bmc mini tractor with loader an weights
Nuffieds, international 444 just had full engine rebuild new head etc all items freed off etc just need titavateing now
David browns red n white even a 950 or 2 i think

A leyland 253 with 880hrs from new some fords 234000
Only 1 mf a 130 and old grey ones
A nash 634 2wd
The mini tractor are nice little things and something different too

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
