marshman Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Nice Ad, When will the restoration process start ? What jobs does your Dad in mind for her ? Well ummm. We have her in half at the mo, but Dads very busy as we are putting a new bathroom in at the mo. Also we did some damage to the landie at the weekend off roading. The plan is to put a new clutch in her now and get it moblie so we can move it about. Then cover he up and do the bathroom. Onece thats done we can really start on her. As for jobs well Need to take the top cover of the hydrlics and see whats what in there. New mudgards, link arms etc, and other bits like the airfilter and that. Bonnet is good abart from a small crack so needs filling. Completely re wiring Check all the steering rams etc Sandblasting and complete respary May need new wheel rims Um thats all i can think of but there is more :D Get round here Barry and give us your verdict on her :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Cannot wait to see her in her fully restored glory. Remember when I was younger the local contractor had a newer county and a MB trac that we used for buckraking and rolling the silage pits so holds some nice memories to see the county's of any age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJW1 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Adam, How's your tractor shaping up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Not done Much yet because Dad is doing the barthroom. We have got the Mudgards from a french 5000 but they sit too high, Dad mesuared them on saturday ready to modify them to fit, still going to be the same as a county wing but a diffrent bracket so it sits lower. Bathroom is nearly finshed now so will be getting on with the county very soon. We got the complete 3pt linkage for it as well now so ready to fit. How is yours going Richard? Dad said the other day if possible when your free it would be lovly to come and have a look at yours? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 used to do kent to devon a lot mate, not the easiest route to take, ,somersets certainly a good hr and a half less if not more, and salcombe aint to close to many decent main roads, but certainly not cut off, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
