Will you do any work with them?

 

[How much]

what a great finish you have got on those fendts the gloss on the tin work and the wheels in particular is incredible.
not sure if you have seen this or not but this would stretch your workshop a bit but its a good on super sized restoration dont think it fully reaches your standards though

Aha they were already on I just left for reference don't jump to conclusions

It's the earth strap I've wired them differently so the earth isn't relying on the mounting nut more so I don't have to remove paint for an earth

I will get a pic of my way tomorrow

Don't worry, the dust didn't stay on for very long!!

Yes the earlys with sideights in are fe35 grey Fergys but had the later type fitting I think

I've a brilliant set upstairs I'll have a look tomorrow

The headlights are brand new never been fitted

I'm also in the motion of getting some misc genuine parts like tachometer clocks various lights oil fuel temp amp gauges all genuine old stock in boxes
Just need to find time to slip away so that should be interesting in the next couple of weeks

[SMID]

[REStracTORATION]

Sounds interesting

Yes I keep making plans to get away but everything is against me at the moment
I'm going to give him a fair price too as they make perfect finishing touches

Wow, look at those lovely old Fendts!
They could be worth a lot of money you know.
Why don’t you think about getting them done up?

(Leaves the room quickly in a cloud of dust).

 

[DeeGee]

A walk around the fendts sorry the camera skills ain't great they were a bit close and my camcorder wouldn't work either so I did it on my phone and forgot to have it in landscape mode

Thank you for all the likes on the picture past and present,it really does mean a lot to me
Thank you
James

I have done up one or two tractors of my own over the years and I like to think that they do look okay. But nothing compared to the professional detail and finish that you achieve on so many different models, which is in a different league to most.

If ever I want a tractor refurbishing professionally you would be the first person I would ask for a quote!

From all the photos I have seen your work really is of exceptional quality.
