Finally Finished My '68 MF135

[johmarq]

Two weeks of very hard Yakka,

This is what He was like when I purchased a few weeks ago.
A pretty straight, low hour (3750) one owner tractor,
straight forward fixer upper.
I had the sort out the transmission, and the Multi Power,
Repalce all the Gauges and the steering wheel ( I had to cut off the origional wheel as it was rusted on)
all the rubbers.Headlights etc, etc, etc
The panel work was not what I thought, it had been repainted at some stage, lots of filler in the guards
I cleaned it all off and repaired therm properly



He now looks like this









Very happy it's finished

Hooroo, John

You've got two beauties. Where'd you source the ROPS?

 

[johmarq]

The Rops were on both tractors when I purchased them, both are made in Australia
The ones on the TEA20 are "Barco" and the ones on the 135 are from a company in Queensland

Both tractors are gems. You did good.

Good luck

John, you do good work. Restoration must be a disease and lots of TBN folks have it, but it is not fatal, just expensive. Fortunately I haven't caught it....yet.
Cheers,
Mike
