Potential project - any pointers?

[bogtrotter]

Hi guys. Looks like might be going to have some spare time on my hands from now on due to change in circumstances and am toying with the idea of doing a restoration (always been the intention to 1 day!) Aslong as its a crawler (preferably with 3 point linkage so it can be used) any ideas what would be a good 1st project and how best to find 1? Anything should be particulary aware of? know its gonna cost a £ or 2 but whats the sort of project thats gonna be most rewarding?

May be a Fordson Major crawler could be a good project.
Things to check for on a crawler is running gear.
Check magazines like Tractor and machinery and E bay.
You should pick up a fair machine for £850 to £1200.Fully restored machine will make around £3000
