This was a classic barn-find project and came with some of its history, she was used at a market garden for her early life, then used on a smallholding for hedge cutting duties, before being parked up for at least 25years following the pervious owners passing.
I acquired her 4years ago with the intension of fully restoring her, however my priorities have changed and she will sadly need a new home. She's all complete and operating as she should, including the multi-power, PTO and lift arms.
Upon recovery she was not seized and bore inspection showed in good condition, valves and timing were checked and reset, injectors were sent to Emmetts for a service, but testing showed them to be perfect as were.
Compression is v.good, she runs clean and smoke free (shes running in all the attached pics)
The only significant issue was the steering pivot arm and pin above the front axle were seized solid, but these have been removed and replaced with new. Shes the multi-power model, with power steering and has the factory fitted foot throttle.
Front tyres are replacements with little wear, the rears are well worn but serviceable. The seat frame has rusted through and needs a welding repair or replacing. Rear-end filters & oil and power steering service next on the list. I've got a few additional small parts to include, such at the PTO shroud and some of the filters needed.
The tin work has only minor surface rust retaining most of the original MF red, I've resisted the temptation to rub over with diesel to make her look great to sell as it will make it more difficult to paint, or lacquer her to lock in the fantastic patina.
The V5 is present and is in my name
Viewing is welcome in Maidenhead, Berkshire. In the meantime I've some additional videos of her running and driving, to show shes still got 'legs' and how fantastically smoke free she is, drop me a request and will forward them
