@Joe S not all have gears between legs, ours was black and red cab. @multi power we have just found over the years that the blues have suited us the best and have stuck the work better than the rest. We have had Ford, Fiat, NH, MF, IH, Nuffield, JD and out of them the Fords have been the hardiest, best pulling and gripping (fiats and ihcould grip and pull but not as nice to sit in and not as handy). Granda still keeps masseys as they are handiest for his sort of work and I agree with him, for light farm work and hay making, ploughing etc the Massey is well suited

I would not fancy a Nuffield or in but there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the rest , them auld fiats tough old bus

Fiats are a great aul tractor, how about a 100-90 @Joe S basically same as 110-90 without the price tag of a 110

Has it really come to this......arguing about which 80's tractor on Christmas eve....

Currently trying to restore my 7810 in an amateurish way. New seat cushions, new exhaust, and re-spraying cab & bonnet.
Pics over the next few days.....maybe.

Are you spraying it yourself?

And loads of "guidance" on UTube ..............
Remember it doesn't have to be blue paint, the preparation technique will be the same.

Did you consider a Zetor Crystal Joe?
You should say it to the da, if you want entertainment ........
