sparrow legs Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 we have the bonnet etc for it but its rough, tractor been stood 6 years or so, we towed it off and it ran, since then we have fitted fresh rear wheels and duels and secondhand front wheels, done the injectors, re wired it and put a new seat assy and steering wheel on today, its going to its first show next weekend. its great to drive, i used to have a tef20 but this is so much better with the high low box also had the back end stripped to clean out, free off the hyd lift etc and done the brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 update in june we got the hyds stripped out, cleaned and re assembled and now work fine. 3 weeks ago we went on a road trip to agriline and £2000 of parts later its getting a full restoration, the engine has been stripped and is half re built, we ground the new valves in last week, re assembled clutch and put skid back together. its not getting a full repaint yet, its been needel brushed down and will be primed and run like this for a season of road runs, if theres no leaks it will then get a full respray next spring.

Lord Ferguson Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You've not upset me Mike.. I'm sorry that you think you have. I think you should Lighten up a little young man I'd still be interested to see you restoration if that's possible.. as an MF enthusiast and specifically an MF35 owner I'd love to see it - you, of all people, know how I love shiny paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Cranky? Oh and what about a name for the tractor too?!! :laugh: Nice to have a little project to work on I am sure, I take your mates are doing the finance for parts and you're lending a hand doing her up? Bet it's nice on the road runs irrespective of the colour (or lack of!) with the wind in your face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
