Spent many an hour driving one back in the day No, she's not getting a loader David. My Dad had one years ago so I'm basing it on the one that he had....another one of the old girls I've driven in the past ticked off the list! 8 hours ago, mb86 said: Superb.

Thanks Martin, not sure about that mind, I'm really starting to think glasses would be a big help with the close up work....either that or my arms are getting shorter! 1 hour ago, Valley Axe Man said: Cracking John, if it looks that good bare it's going to be another beauty with some colour on, Thanks Paul, looking forward to getting some paint on her now! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Gavin, I've always thought that the 42 series was another range of tractors that have been missed by the model manufacturers, which is a shame as they were a popular tractor in their day. I've also got a 4240 on the go as well, but that one's an XL cab, just undecided at the moment whether to use an existing cab on it or to build my own.
