are those tractors trying to make baby tractors ?

One of them is going to be disappointed

So I've been roped into painting a fendt 900. It's been on a lime spreader. My oven is going to feel abused. It normally has super cars in it. Not tractors [emoji23]

A genuine silver jubilee?

Yep all be it an Italian one.

Are you going to give it a coat of paint, or leave it as it is?
Wipe an oily rag on the cab if you are, make a world of difference.

Would a light resto on cab and wheels be appropriate?

Just come in from darts
So I may as well update here

Floor is in and everything is hooked up had it running and warming through today.
New Roof and panels fitted customer acquired an new roof as the old one was damaged which has damaged the rooflining also, so a new one has been sourced too.

Exhaust box and intake system fitted along with steps and toolbox
Tomorrow side windows seat floor Matt in
Doors and front rear windows stripped ready for our magic touch.
I will ship wheels off to and knock tyres of all being well ready for blasting a few of the lugs have cracks in so give them a weld up ready for paint nearly there now
I'm a bit cautious with the photos as I don't really want a certain person to see it.

Why my updates are few and far between

Thanks, it was complete and original so we are just putting it back as it was it's a pleasure to do.
The only thing that's missing is the right hand steps and are proving to be a hard task to obtain some too

Just pretend it is a MF 500.

Were the brown cab cladding panels original? If so they have come up very well.

Yes all interior is original and cleaning up well all window rubbers as well.
The quality of rubbers and trims, nothing is perished or has much UV damage either.
Just takes a bit of time cleaning items up anyone can fit new parts but cleaning restoring parts is the tricky part.

Is that a ROPS cab ?It doesn't look to be overly heavy/strong.

Yes it's solid square bar, the B Pillar is the main strengthener that is folded steel.
I guess strength through design as this tractor has been wrong side up once.

Edit the A pillars i think are box section
