A good question!

Because:

They are quite interesting (engine, gearbox, hydraulics etc)
They dont have a lot of body work to rot!

I quite fancied one! Grin

The owner of the site where I take my cars for MOT has quite a collection of various tractors ...... old & not quite as old. Wink

The engine is a Ford V6, the tractor is Dexta....and thats the worry as the Dexta has no chassis and requires a VERY solid engine....

Its quick because the standard diesel revs to 2200rpm....the V6 will do three time that so top speed is much higher Thumbs Up!

Apr 2011 at 22:02 A few more hours on the engine. Three pistons fitted (i.e. all of them!) Which were actualy a pain in the arse to do as they have 5 sets of rings with two of them being laminated sets (i.e. 4+ small rings!)!
