Well abit of an update
The 165 is back together crank had a polish all standard shells still
Head skimmed and new valves

What year is that 165 @REStracTORATION ?

I came across the instruction book for our old 'P' reg one the other day - you ought to have it and put it in one of those thick plastic bags they used to come in. If you put it in the tool box your punter would get 'the whole new tractor experience' when he gets her back:LOL::LOL:

I think it's a s reg but not sure
Yes a could get a few printed and supply all tractors with them just as a nice addition.
 
Looking forward to seeing the 550 when its done. Please keep the videos coming.
Yes I will keep them coming

I'm looking forward to it being done as well or at least cab back on
I get excited when it's nearly all ready to go it will look bloody smart be one of the best yet

My only problem is the floor Matt is knackered and a replacement is dam hard to source
I've got 3 people to phone about one
Or if any tffers have one they can donate and they can have our old one ;)
