Re: Any point even thinking about this?
I'd check if it's petrol or diesel, and why it was parked up. If it's diesel, and was parked up because they bought a new, shiny one, you stand a chance and it would be worth a go.

It's diesel. I used to drive it as a lad with a bale spike on the back. As far as I know it was a runner when parked up about 20 years ago.
Is a machine like this useful these days or is it better to put funds to a cheap old 4 wheel drive tractor. |
