Rebuild of Trustees small tractor

30 June 2013
REBUILD OF TRUSTEES TRACTOR.
The rebuild of the tractor that two members of the trust bought is going well. The front grill has been repaired and the bracket painted. A new sealed beam is on order and the front is looking good.

The serial num,bers have all been found for the DVLA documentation but no V55/5 document has been received in the post from DVLA or the online ordering service.
The two members have spent the time whilst the documents arrive by cleaning up the machine. The seat has been removed and an outer cover is going to be made as the replacement seat is ridiculously expensive. The carburetor has been stripped cleaned and checked to ensure that it will run efficiently without leaks.

The two members are considering purchasing a new exhaust to keep the noise levels down whilst using the machine in the woodland . The old unit being very old and not efficient. The brake pads still need to be found and ordered and the bonnet cleaned up and repainted.
