My oldies has been in real works lately

Some firewood works:

Haven't posted for a while

Sold the Super Major and bought a -76 IH 844 with broken crankshaft. Now the 844 is in working condition and yesterday bought a Dexta which have been little bit hot

All the panels and fenders are scrap, but the tractor itself seems to be relatively OK. Dismantled a bit and I will take the trailer hitch for my another Dexta.








Fuel lift pump has to be renewed and also the starter. Then it would be possible to start

Idea is to make 4wd or put a 6cyl Perkins. Any ideas?

It is Finnish Hakki Pilke OH60. Only borrowed it from my friend

Definitely 4wd. And use a Land Rover front axle so I can copy what you do

Maybe 4wd with 6cyl Perkins

I am using Range Rover front axle.

Looking forward to some pics!

Can I ask why you chose a Range Rover axle? Would it stand up to the torque load well? Would it be stronger than a LR axle?

Only reason is that there was one RR axle available easily and with reasonable price. I think that it will last well, because this tractor is going to be used only in light works
