I have the same from my grandpa in the barn, I would like to have the courage and the time to restore it.

I've got 2 1965's myself. One is completely original and has only ever needed painted and the block re-lined. The other is due a full restoration like this. Both have Duncan cabs which luckily still produce some parts for them. Good advice on these is to use New Holland Agriflu coolant and distilled water. Helps massively to reduce the risk of the block going porous

Beautiful. I would like to know how much time it took in terms of man hours and how much it costs in terms of materials.

Finally a proper restauration. So many people just do a repaint and call it restauration, but this one is a real to-new overhaul. Very nice, i'm impressed about the result. One question: where do you got the instrument pannel from? 2:49 I just found the black ones from the 600 series on the internet

[@mandylad]

where did you buy the bonnet parts..the ones with the finns on them??

[@wtongtube]

Is that model called a Pre Force?

[@alanyoung7655]

Yeah pre force.....it has a metal mesh in the nose and the spitfire type vents in the bonnet ....later on the force ones had plastic in the nose....and plain bonnet sides

[@wtongtube]

@@alanyoung7655 What years were the Pre Force made?

[@alanyoung7655]

@@wtongtube hi I think the pre force models were made from 1964 to 1968

Don't look like a Super Dexta to me Gordon Exmouth late of Basildon Test

[@alanyoung7655]

That model of tractor was what was brought out to replace the super dexta ....they put super dexta on the bonnet to give folk an idea of its size and power .....they only did it for a couple of yrs.... I have 1 just the same... the early ford 4000/5000 had major on them to show they were the replacement for those models too
