I see the manufacturer is still around, whats parts availability like?

Either take block out and have it stitched or replace head gasket. Not massive money. Loads in Old City , only things that can get up steps n round those tight corners. K

Can get a lot of parts from Lamberhurst in Kent, I don't know about major engine components, it's only running on two cylinders and may need a Conrod or something, it requires a complete overhaul I would say, or stripping for parts, hydraulics very good.

Thanks, it's been a great little tractor, bloody hell it's done some work and been in some places.

It needs a new engine basically, it's still running and sounds fine, got power too, but water in oil and only running on two cylinders is more than I can fix and I don't have facilities to take out engine etc.

Do you still have it as I could be interested in it to repair my C500.

Went for over 2k on ebay I think.

Hi Folks

It made £2300 on eBay, I had quite a lot of interest 7 phone calls and 12 bidders.

It's gone off for some TLC, it'll probably be good for another 40 years after that.

Good luck old Noddy holder, I'll miss you.

Did the buyer say they where going to repair or was it for breaking.
