The final insult......

[7610 super q]

Lifted from a dealers website...

Obviously off a livestock farm... The only attention the poor little tractor has had in 40 years is to have some led lights stuck to it?‍. And the final insult.....the curse of the straight pipe exhaust.....?
Another one on it's original engine too... ?

Neighbour has a 76 and a 46 in much worse nick than that.

I know it's likely around 30yrs old but how? Just how can it get in that state? Was it in the tide or slurry pit?

30 years ago I put spotlights onto the back of a 4600 scraper tractor as it was cheaper than putting lights in the cubicle shed! If I did it again they'd be LEDs now. Practical is the word.

Not sure, I lifted that of a DD ad some years back, from memory it was from Mayo.

I don’t think it’s that bad tbh light stalks and mud guards are still there. It will have done a lot of work for someone.

Sadly no, it was a few years back. I actually attempted a thread of my own along those lines.

TLC

So, what does TLC mean to you? I'll the first to say most of my gear is not in its first flush of youth, nor is it first hand, but I know what it is. Old, used and mostly well functioning tat. In saying that I still try to make a fairly decent attempt at keeping stuff up. For example, how...

I'm pretty sure it was in kerry, it was advertised a few times over the course of a year. at one stage he was asking 5k

The fuel filter seems to be new and that is an important indicator of the kind of attention it has had.
