You need a power buffer and buffing paste

could you reconmend a brand? the wings are a bit faded on my tractor this thread has inspired me

 

[Guy]

I use a company called AMC. They arrive in a van (about 6 people) and have all the equipment. I'll ask them tomorrow.

ah you dont do it yourself then? il have to resort to T cut and elbow grease for mine i think

 

[smcapstick]

To be fair I had to pay alot for them but im not fussed as they are lovely tractors.

There's a sales pitch if ever I saw one!

 

[Guy]

I rarely get attached to tractors but I must admit I have with these lol

 

[JohnDeere8530]

im interested in one, as said Ive another and is a great tractor, would you be interested in letting it go now if someone gave your advertised asking price ?

 

[Guy]

As I said, i paid a lot for them.
There has been 3 sold in the last 5 months at £56500 for a late 2002, £39900 for a late 2000 and £46900 for a mid 2001. The value lies with a collector/enthusiast. If I can clear 1500 quid after costs I'll be happy.

@Guy as promised pics with linkage fitted few pics of other notable improvements also,

How the tractor looked when I first seen it, I only went to rvt for some flails(july2013) and ended up buying dorris

Taken a lot of time and effort to get it as it is today, was soon fitted with better wheel/tyres

I've done just under 1k hours with it since

One of the best improvements is grammer heated seat

Linkage fitted

Valve and accumulater tucked nicely out the way

Edited cos my iPhone is
