tractor was left outside in all weather for many years, a mate of mine found it and took me to see it. Turned out it was owned by my mates brother who lived 90 miles away.Anyway it was a proverbial pile of scrap, all tinwork was rotten apart from the bonnet, engine was seized up. However decided it was too far gone to take a chance on and returned home.For days it bugged me as the tractor, a fordson super dexta was exactly what I had been looking for. As I already owned a Ferguson TED20 petrol/tvo which I had already restored, I was in no hurry to make a decision. A week later, I gave in and called the man who said £800 would be the cost so I hitched up the trailer and went and collected. On arriving home, I found the engine, gearbox and rear end were all full of water,obviously the battery was goosed,the rear tyres were bulging, steering had 6 inches of play, steering wheel was even rotten. So you can see it was going to be a long hard expensive experience. After two years and £2800 pounds more with more than a little help from friends the tractor was more or less restored it is a fantastic little tractor. Oh by the way I also found a cab for it which is on but needs a bit of work. Some time shortly I will send photos in. Brian Cox, Perth Scotland
