An old saying hereabouts "The dog that trots about gets a bone" - Nice tractor, is it live drive as well as the auxilliary spool valve ??

Not envious, you understand , but I do wish I'd got to that barn before you!
Congrats on your new acquisition. As is plain to see, it's a good one.
Best, Adrian.

Re: power major barn find
Is the loader the reason for the exhaust through the hood? It is different from the original place.

I guess it give more room for loader plus someone's put the lights up high and most loader tractors I've seen seem to have the nose guard
