restoration photos

They are very rare in the UK. MF dropped The 1100 soon after we bought ours because it was too BIG for the market at the time so it didn't sell very well ! ( Imagine that! ) so then they tried to push The 1080 as their "range topper" but apparently it just wasn't a patch on the 1100, it was underpowered and was dogged with reliability problems.

Interesting
I shall pass that on thankyou

Ours had a Sekura cab . The tractor had to be "Modified" a little to get it to fit i.e . John I Fearn's ( The dealers) butchered the fenders somewhat!

Ill try and get a better photo in the morning.
Wheels are well down on the list. Need to get the mudguards under sealed and painted and I also need to get fabric to recover the headlining which is suprisingly tricky to source.

They are really in good nick the Germans have petted the art of paint application

But shabby in some areas
They provide d many years of reliable service so it's only fair we do them up a tad

German made tractors usually have a good covering of paint its taken a long time for other manufaturers to catch up.

The paint under the mudguards is better finished than most bonnets
No rust even under mudguards
Properly painted
I guess that's why you pay a premium this is the reward

Neighbour has a 305ls that has stood up to the test of time very well except for where the bonnet hinges are. Cab and doors are perfect. Will get my hands on it someday..

The paint is as if it's part of the metal it's etched perfect
