It's all good fun! Hats off to you Clive for achieving it and to Yellowiron for tackling it x 3 or 4 perhaps. There is always another tractor to replace the D7G.Have you seen the one at K J Services ? Or is it your old tractor ? As for the westlode cab ,that would be great if you could follow it up....

Nicky ,Yes I think I got it all sorted.New hose new pump new oil and new seals top to bottom! But I still never stopped it weeping just a bit from the bottom fitting to the trans casing so I gave up after abought 3 attempts .The tractor was not giving trouble before so hopefully it will be OK. Only ...

Klippan rops would be an easy fit .Roly Billings has one on a 22a. My 8k has one fitted from new. The floor and dash are just as your tractors are layed out. I would like to give my 22a a facelift with a westlode soft cab as fitted to some early 8ks if I could find one.Miine has the steel roof and i...

TC ,Been working away this week just got back, last post made me laugh.Wandered what that light on the top of the steeering clutch console was for.It doesn't work or I dont think it does.Now I know why the bonnet has been cut aswell.As for the cab on or off look there is nothing better than the soun...

Hi Brian, I considerd buying one from USA before I got mine because there is so much more choice and there is a good chance it will have a rops even 46a's and36a's.Is yours a D8k77v?

No hard fellings TC, have not noticed any dents so the stones must have been small so I gues you did not mean it.Any way sounds like you got a nice tractor at half the money.What number is yours?

Hi TC ,That all fits with what I have been told.I dont know how many years ago the sale was.The old girl has had a history of people wanting to give her a home.I first saw it for sale on Mascus but can not remember the mans name.I made arangments to go and look at it on my way home from Birmingham w...
