I was planning on fully restoring this old gem, but I've decided to only fix the things that don't work :laughing:

Seen one here on a local market. Was thinking to purchase. But refused due to very weak appearance.
Hope yours is much better. Good luck with it.

The appearance on this is poor and the tractor is suffering from lack of maintenance... But the engine and drivetrain is solid
I got it for free :thumbsup:
