rear wheels are not the original . has done 1567 hours when i bought it , now 1800 .


is it ashame to paint ???

Dont touch it,you will devalue it .It is perfect the way it is .Any more pictures. Liam.

thats how it looked when i bought it

will it be erasing the history, if the only the tin work is painted for preservation???? and then leave the rest untouched, just an idea

Paint it all or nothing. When the paint is covering all the metal and it's the first paint I would clean it and leave it.

yeah kind of what i was thinking, hmm problably thinking too much .

there is a dent in the front i would like to fix , maybe i can mix some paint that lookes like original to cover the spots of bare metal

I doupt if you can. The dent can be fixed, but getting the paint the same??????????

If the rear wheels isn't original, where are they from??? my new performance do have exacly those rims

They are original fordson (enfo) ,my tractor was just born with the more narrow 12.4x36 . I still have them , I just like the wider type

In my Forson literature the rear tires came in a choice of optional sizes. From what I have seen, both are right. With so few hours I believe I would leave the tractor alone myself also. Nice find. Dandy Dave!

Thanks Dandy Dave.
in my instruktion book for the traktor both tire sizes are shown , also 38" rims. So yes both sizes are original, mine was simply born with 12.6x36(2nd picture), but I like the wider ones better.

i´m torn in two , i dont want to take anything apart that have never been touched. but another a part of me would like the tinwork to be in good shape.
