personally i would see if the cabs restorable first, so many people just rip them off and bin them when they restore the older stuff , but its possible its been on it from new, so is part of its history in a way . looking forward to the pics anyway

She looks fairly good for an ex scraper tractor, bar the nose cone, would be nice if you kept the cab, as Sean says many are taken off  and turned cabless but there is sometimes as much work in the cab as their is in the rest if the tractor. Either way you choose well done for preserving her.

for a yard scraper thats actually in good nick, theres a lot worse round this way i can tell you ,

now i may be wrong but theres a set of lambourne cab parts on ebay at present, doors etc, are these the right ones for that cab ??

A new spade for the garden. The old spade was around 35 years old so it didn't owe me a great deal, a Spear and jackson "Neverbend" that my grandfather bought me when I moved into my first house. It didn't bend but the handle snapped in two whilst I was out over the weekend moving a Laurel bush to a new location and trying to lever it out of the old flower bed.

The new one is a Bulldog brand and states that it has a lifetime guarantee, we shall see as I have a few more bushes to move over the next few weeks.

your starting to sound like someone we all know mike, best put a sticker on it with the date so you can calculate its cost per day / hour and compair it to the old one :P:D:D:D

A second 4" McLaren Road Loco, beautifully built engine that runs far better than the other but isn't quite as comfortable to drive, just wants a hint of bling to finish it off.
