fordsonmajortom 1 #3 Posted January 30, 2011 The seat looks a bit uncomfortable. Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,410 #4 Posted January 30, 2011 the problem would be getting parts for it over here and buy the time you have had them shipped over from US, it would be just as cheap to get a whole tractor shipped over. to the uk It costs about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,756 #5 Posted January 30, 2011 go on then, who called and made an offer they couldn't refuse? Neil? Kevin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clintonnut 126 #7 Posted January 30, 2011 Jeeze that was a steal... It looked pretty nice even as a tractor to part out. Looked like wheels and seat were the worst. I would've bought that in a heartbeat if I lived in the UK. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
landsurveyor 2 #8 Posted January 31, 2011 I did ask if he would take an offer, then the auction ended................someone has a challenge to restore it though, the listing didn't say if engine or transmission were seized? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,410 #9 Posted January 31, 2011 Does anyone know what it went for did anyone from here bid on it It looked ok from what i could make out from the pics looked like it just needed some new wheels, engine and a repaint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpthorsefan 34 #10 Posted January 31, 2011 go on then, who called and made an offer they couldn't refuse? Neil? Kevin? I did inquire about it and would he take an offer but i was told he wanted to let the auction run on, Then out the blue it ended.... but i was going to have a go at it. So not guilty i wish i was. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 761 #11 Posted January 31, 2011 I missed this one ! . I think this is only the second 'Round Hood' to show up in the last year. I would have been interested, but reckon it would have been a mess in the Engine/Tranny and wonder what the state of the Spindles etc were like?. Attachments looked highly useable though. A lot of work and Dosh to get it anywhere near repectable. Wonder if Bob L spotted it?...... Just down the road from him !. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
