restoration photos

[REStracTORATION]

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.

Thank you very much,
A truly lovely comment which all goes towards why we try our best on these tractors.

Mudguards are the worse to remove with the daft cab support bars siezed was an understatement.

Yes we have a MCR 101 it can take a 28" wheel rim and we use aluminium oxide in it
Great for little stuff wouldn't be without it

This fresh pot we got we hire it as we struggle to store stuff, run out of room too many tractors.
But it was offered to us at a great price so we couldn't turn it down really

Well, made a bonnet out of several parts that a customer fetched me this afternoon

Never liked DB to operate but always thought the white and brown looked very smart although remember reading the white bonnet was a bugger on a bright sunny day, not many of them(sunny days) about these days

 

[Mursal]

Or white bonnets...........

 

[DeeGee]

Or white bonnets...........

If you like white bonnets you need to watch more period dramas like Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

There’s always loads of old David Browns just left where they broke down if you just look closely enough and take your mind off counting the tramlines in the background.
