After what you have just posted, i understand what you are up against.One thing we did like was seeing the correct cover on the hydraulic coupling.
I'm not a puresist I simply can't replicate every part to oe with the budgets we get
We just turn out the best job we can for the price, as you know original parts take finding and then the man hours involved.
If I your doing your own tractor over 3 or 4 years etc that's fine
But we are trying to turn tractors round within weeks/months that have been bodged for 30yrs scraping cows out :ROFLMAO:


Iam thinking of doing a tractor only half of it straight down the middle to show a before and after but as an in the flesh example I think it will be a good advert of the work that's required.
Any suggestions??

Yes be good idea to see a before and after.:cool:
 
The mudguards and wheels killed that job a lot of time went into them as they were really quite rough
It was good to see a tractor where as much of the orginal parts are retained as possible instead of going down the easy route and buying new tin work etc. What you produce at the end of a restoration is something to be proud of,i wish i could do what you achive.

Didn't MF or a Massey dealer somewhere do that a few years back, on a 3080 I think.Was in Classic Tractor at the time
