Brilliant. I can't wait to see more. I'm currently restoring a 1210 vq cab. I hope one day to get a 1690/94 too

You don't see many vq cabbed 1210s about now, my uncle has a T reg 1210 with the sekura cab there a good tractor.

hi oliver have you any idea where i could get a grill guard for me 1490

[@OliverBaughan]

Hi I’d try eBay, db Facebook groups and tractor breakers one should come up, but not very often you see them unfortunately

[@manfromthemist1958]

Hi Oliver, I'm busy with a 990, how did you get the oil pump out and was there any problems, I've took off the hour drive at the top, removed the retaining screw from the block on the outside disconnected the feed pipe and the pump will not move any sugestions

[@OliverBaughan]

Hi yeah under the tachometer drive retaining screw near bottom of block you’ll see what looks like a long bolt head that is a cap with pump retaining screw in it

Nice to see a tractor with the lower rear window in place. The one on my 1390 is missing and I haven't got a rubber for it either. Don't suppose you'd know where I might find one?

[@OliverBaughan]

If you want original parts I would try a tractor breakers, theres a few breakers on eBay
