Can't get the tractor over five miles an hour! maybe need a superchip.

I think the trailer also needs a lick of paint. ;D ;D ;D

I think if I had that many Tractors Bob, I would be very single!

I have been offeed a ransoms crawler at a good price....but I want to sort the Dexta first.

Shes been sat in a shed for 8 years in pieces and needs an engine re-build as the first job (head is off and all bits associated with it stripped and cleaned ready for a coat of empire blue).

I then want to get her registered and run her around a bit to see what leaks remain so I can home in on any other issues.....before giving it a full paint job
