My husband is currently restoring one of these and is wondering if any one out there is doing the same. His is a petrol model.

i honestly don't understand why people want to do this!

If a man canny do a bit o spannerin in retirement as his fancy takes him, he may as well turn up his toes I reckon. Just be grateful he's not into motorcycle racing woman. he he.

In his case, more likely to be mobility scooter racing .

I may well have his next project sitting in a paddock, will take the camera next week and will post a few shots
I promise he will like what he see's, and yes its a fordson major, but earlier than yours

Its a man thing, build a bridge and get over it. He owns a tractor because: it doesn't answer back, he can ride it any time he likes, it won't whinge, it doesn't break down one week a month, if it makes too much noise, he can muffle it, his tractor doesn't care how many other tractors he has ridden, he doesn't have to have a shower before he rides his tractor, and his tractor won't wine unless there is something really wrong.
