Lord Ferguson Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 ... thanks Marcus... no... MANY MANY thanks Marcus... I didn't realise it was so far away It looks to be in good nick mate as well.. I'll have to source some new wheels then at some time - I'll get a parts book for it and see what comes up I think. So.... your challenge Mr B.. should you choose to accept it... go and find a field to play in... we want to see those tines shimmy and vibrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractortim Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 looks pretty sound considering its resting place!i'm sure the last time i went to that farm the back window of the massey was a bit loose so i propped a piece of wood in to hold the window up and that was back in 2002! so when are we going to get some action shots?

Deere-est Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Looks sound enough, like you say wheels and tyres and it won't want a lot more. Going to suit Mavis a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
