Id make you an offer, but you wouldnt accept it and its a long way to ride it back!I tried selling it last year, but zero interest. Left leg not working right, so can't ride it at the moment.

It is very comfortable and thank you. In hindsight I wish I hadn't used 40's vintage bags. But hey ho.Very comfortable looking seat! Like your saddle bags.
Tractors ! now im truly green with envy !My Marshall 604. My dad bought it back in 2015 and I've had some good times with it, including coming second in a tractor balancing competition. Quite a needy machine though keeps wanting attention.

Inherited both those from my dad. Also have an MF 35 in the shed.Tractors ! now im truly green with envy !
Perkins engine or 23C engine?Love hate relationship with my MF35. Hate ended up winning so I sold it. Never looked back to be honest, the constant maintenance and threat of catastrophic failure was too much for me.
Petrol, so I guess 23C? Brakes were dodgy, jammed in gear often, wiring was suspect, starter jammed from time to time. Probably a commentary on years of neglect, but I wasn't the guy to take all that on, for something I used but didn't really need.Perkins engine or 23C engine?
I know that feeling with mine having self-combusting recently.
Ah mine is a 23C diesel. Worst thing about it it terrible cold starting. Spent a lot of time money and effort fixing it over the years. First mechanical project I took on.

You have a beautiful engine there Ray, kudos to you for taking care of it - I know how much work that entails. My hat is off to you sir.Mine.
