Well between myself and Marky we've taken over a year to get these pictures up...... :D;)

But it's been well worth the wait and here she is......Miss Grey Fergie herself was christened tonight......All that remains is to fit the gauges, fir the lamps and buy myself some rear tyres but all in good time because she's mine and going nowhere...... ;)

oooooooooo we have missed her mart, looking good though mate, whens the first outing to the farm for some work then

Cheers Sean......Not a bad re-entrance for 2007 is it...... ;)

Once I've got some rears for her she'll get a trip out I think, don't want to risk it with the almightly bubbles she currently has on one of the tyres...... ;)

For the newer members that don't remember the original antics of our little friend here I'll try to dig out the topic of her big rescue if it's still here...... ;)

did you get any further with a pick up hitch or tow hitch for her mart, so you can get a fergy tipper for her?? ;):D :D

I decided to put that plan on hold mate once I'd decided to go all out for a Ford/New Holland newer tractor but it's only on the back burner so once the end of the year is here and I've got my dream tractor the old girl can take some money again...... :D;) ;)

thats great news mart nice to keep her in the family mate. :) :) is there a bit under  the grill that needs painting ???

Aye there's a small bit under the grille where part of the original vinyl number plate is that still needs painting I've left it for now for originality but it will be painted nearer the complete finish...... :) :) ;)

will you put the new reg palte back in the same spot mart??? all the ones i have seen are there

Because she doesn't have any of the original documents I can't legally register her with her original plate but I plan to just paint on (or get new vinyl for) the original plate as I managed to decrypt it from the rust and what was left of the vinyl......So she won't be legally registered on that plate but I'd rather do that and keep her original than go for an age-related plate...... :) :) ;)

That was the way I thought of it Marky......Would much rather go for originality than legality (only when it comes to my tractor of course)...... :o;)

nice to see good ole Regan back on the Forum, Mart !

(thats helluva shed in the background - is it a farm building ?)

Cheers John...... :)

It used to be a big grain store but is now used as a scrap car store as a much larger grain drying/storage business opened at the local docks so this smaller operation lost business...... :-\ ;)
