Hi Rae , this guy has wings in stock all the time apparently and when he advertised on Ebay recently they looked very good , the price was
the best I've seen , well worth a call if you are going to have a go ! really tough tractors ( mine had brambles in the pistons ! and I still only did the valves.) so hopefully the tinwork should be the worst part . Ian 0797174717 , ian@1stclasswroughtiron.co.uk
p.s . as the tinwork is usually the first thing to go I personally have never seen any usable s/hand ones for sale , also the rear pto is fairly
unusual .

Hi Rae , I think the wings were £300 and something and if you do a fair job of the tractor it should be around £2000 but you can get it all up and running and leave the wings till last any way then if nothing has turned up s/hand you can try him then .
