Lord Ferguson Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 You gotta love her... she's on her very last legs sadly... but nicer than the nasty old MXM case I have been borrowing of late... Anyway.... a picture says a 1000 words... take a look at what I've currently got powering my baler (just until my new ride arrives)..

Deere-est Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have the good fortune of having seen dozens of 2000 series over the years at Howards yard and although they get some right stinkers aswell as some pure gems. .. I have never seen a bonnet go like that Restoration project right there that is Mark. .. be shame to give her back. .. wouldn't it.. .. .. Shame I missed out on a spin. I could see alot of smoke over Histon way and put it down to a bonfire but now I realise it was this old girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 how the gear box i heard there awfull look quite nice over than the oldc age whats got to it better than a case any day No problem at all Cerin... the gearbox is wonderful in my opinion... She's soooo much better than the nasty, clonky, musical MXM :D Did she come with a complimentary can of Easy Start too? Not quite... but she's not far off I reckon Tris... if it was cold I don't hold out much hope without that or a nice chain :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 still recon shes worth the effort marky, nice early one, dont see to many 2wds arround now ,and not many in those anyway, back up tractor if nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 That's a nice old bus you've got there Marky, deserves a bit of tlc, you can probably get most spares for it under Massey's 10+ parts, only problem may be body parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
