so we got her pulled out today and gave her a good wash and a wee run down the road to check for any leaks or anything else untoward , we also want to re torque the wheels bolts after a wee run just to make sure they don't come loose .

Hard to believe that a 17 year old trator could look so good. The owner won't believe his eyes.

It will be a shame to get it dirty!!

greendragon3

thanks for all the kind comments guys , the owner hasn't seen it yet so hopefully he will be happy with her , i know it would be a shame to dirty it but it is still a working tractor at the end of the day so she will have to earn her keep balling and wrapping for the summer , in fairness to the owner it never got any abuse over the years and was always well maintained and cared for so if it gets the same treatment now it will last him for another 20 years no bother .

Looks great,a stainless steel pipe would really set her off.Great work green!

That is epic!! They really stand the test of time when you see one that good. Top work GD. Not many in the country doing work like that on large tractors. I tip my hat to you sir!

To be fair to the owner, it looked pretty much spot on before the rebuild. Nothing damaged or bent out of shape etc.
Not taking anything away from the work done though.


If that tractor was traded to a dealer, it would have got a spot of filler around the windscreen, A quick run with the spray gun and out the door so its great to see such a detailed strip down and rebuild.

so the fiat is finally finished guys , i got the seat yesterday , pj kerr upholsterers in loais done a fantastic job on it for very small money considering , he got it on Tuesday and had it back up to me friday morning , great service altogether , we had an eleventh hour emergency trying to get the diesel gauge working but all is sorted now , i gave her a good polish today and valeted her ready for collection on Monday .

the owner got a nice brand new badge for the front grille too , finishes her off nice . he hasnt seen the tractor yet so i hope he is happy with it , more pics .

Green dragon, what is the green thing near the drivers right arm rest? I know you have a high standard of work so know it's not there without a reason or story behind it.

well spotted lad , i think its for controls for the wrapper or baler im just not too sure , i know she spends most of her time doing either or both , it was on the tractor when it came so i put it back on in case it is needed .:cool:

Yeah that's a bracket for wrapper controls. Seen many of them I'm my day

Have a home made one here for our old wrapper as well

What would be a fair estimate for work such as that to be done?
GD probably isn't half paid for the work he does.
Is it even practical to have such a job a carried out at full commercial rates?

Well done GD, straight stainless exhaust and she'll be finished. Much trouble with electrics/dash lights?

colm_mcm

Silly question, but t would a stainless one be painted black?

It can I believe. Stainless steel exhausts can be hassle sometimes

colm_mcm

for originality sake it's want to be black?

IH784man

Id rather the stainless,really sets them off.dont like the way the exhausts sit on the faits at an angle

The angle is following the angles of the bodywork and imo it works.

Dandible yoke now to be sure. I sent this thread to my brother who works for CNH out of Basildon, Essex. I'd say he'll need fifteen minutes alone in the company jax with his iPad when he sees the lovely job GD has done.

greendragon3
