looking good....nice tractor..id like a real one like that...

some nice tractors there.....nice pics.....

thanks for having a wee look Chris, I'm hoping to get a wee petrol grey and maybe paint it black - just to be different.....those wee tractors are so handy to work at compared to the muir hill.

She is a showpiece at the minute and has been to a few vintage shows but more than likely she will be at the siliage next year as the owner is a farmer/contractor. One of my neighbours has a Muir Hill 121 so I used it as a basis for my research along with a few brochures . We were able to source most parts however some parts such as the body panels and window frames were fabricated on site by ourselves. Thanks.

thanks for all the comments, it was a bit hard to part with the muir hill as i got attached to her..... but she"s no massey...im sure u lot should like my next post,

Just have had a look at all your tractors Cyril that you have worked on you have great hands and your work is great I would love you to do a few we jobs on my MF3085 cab Theres alot of work goes into painting that no one will ever see I see you go a few pictures of your MF 2680

I'd be more than happy to look at your cab anytime. I've done and MF3095 before - really rusty doors on her but she turned out well. I can arrange transport if needed.

Well that's about all I have on the muir hill story. I lost some photos at the start which would of been nice to have to show what work was done. My customers get all the photos on a disk so they won't forget how much work was done to his tractor. As for getting parts, i prefer to work with Lloyd Loaders as they can get me a lot of orainal parts. All the bolts on this job were wire brushed down and re anodised. I think that's about it. If anybody wants to ask me a few questions fire away, lifting my next job during the week which is a Ford. I'm looking foward to making a start on it.

i had to get a pic of my massey in too......

Thank very much - I've always been interested in tractors having been brought up on a farm. Unfortunately its almost impossible to give an accurate estimate though I do try. I always explain that I record my hours and charge by the hour.Cyril Hanna Accident Repair And Classic Restoration this is my web site

just sold my 121 s3.having been let down by a restorer.those boat launching tractors are being eaten by rust.criminal to let a tractor get like that

nick............

u should of give me a call.......would love two do a s3 121

a few more before i go two bed......

its nicer looking now...its just a shame it not enameled.........

now if any body knows a 121 is just a straight six!!!!! at some point in time she has been fitted with a 141 turbo which means for me is the pipe coming out of the turbo is going up true the edge of the bonnet...... the string that u can see is where the bonnet shold be....a 141 has a lot wider front end on them so not a problem on them.....now its the shape a want it now two grind it smooth..

Very interesting topic. How many hours in total did you spend on the Muir Hill?

a lot kind of lost cout....its all for fun....

....4 brand new good years what more would u want for her.......we fit our own tires as trye fitter aways mark ur rims...................all we need is some new floor mats.....

next job we need the rims on.......ready for fitting back on two the tractor......at this stage all the wiring has been done.........

a little bit of rot...now its fixed....and it would be even seen.....making a new bottom lip....for the grill... a heavy lift here.....think she is ready for the primer here.....

.the loom and dash

a good reason why i welded this up... let me tell u it took the heat two get the bend out of the noise cone......some parts about two get primed.more parts after they were painted

what the rims the look like......a lot better looking now.......the deck of the cab getting painted......

some fillers had two be used on the rims to smooth them flat......rims and doors ready for the primer....

the cab did take a lot of man hours til get ready for some paint, the bottom of the doors had two be replaced also the rear window frame was not good.the deck of the cab had a few bits cut out and replaced...new handles and door rubbers and door runners were got for the sliding doors..........

the frist thing that we did was rip her apart and start sandblasting the rust away,all the bolts where sent away two get recoated and make a list of what parts we where going two need.....
