Deck needed an overhaul as it was a rusty mess. So new blades, hubs and idlers as well as a paint.

New seat, repairs to the steering and paint the body

Looked around for a set of decals from JD without success, so fitted a standard warning decal

It also needed a new fuel tank and luckily Ben from the forums gave me one he had.
Things to do
- Fix the slow leaks in the front tyres. Might try some tyre slime first
- Brakes are munted. Hopefully just an adjustment |
Good work it came up well, love the warning sticker, our JD tractor has a similar one
We've just about finished refurbishing or selling the machines in our graveyard. Theres a couple left that aren't worth saving so a scrap metal bin is coming next week. We''ll roadbase the area in the cooler, quieter months and use it as a thrown down area for stores and supplies.
It also means the end of the road for this old girl, apparently the scrappers want to take it aswell.
The gutters finished rusted through and the roof blew off last winter, without that structure the whole cab started to collapse. Believe it or not it will still run and function. We had the engine started a couple of years back but the batteries have died since, we managed to get a couple of turns out of it with the jump pack but we really don't have the time to go any further with it for the sake of shits and giggles. It would have been nice to drive it from its resting place though.
