"I bought the tractor from a farmer who was selling up. It had been sitting out in the open by the looks of it for about 12 months at a minimum. It had no battery in it but was told that it ran it was just smokey. Anyway trailered it 100 odd kilometres home saw it had fuel chucked in a battery and it started, and yes it is smokey. At the moment I am repairing it in a way that I can replace some of the parts with locally found items without having to go to specialists. I have put on an aftermarket fuel filter as well as front hubs as the rims and tires are hard to find."
