nice job Kyle, have to ask did you use Fordson Empire blue paint as it looks rather dark?

No matter the color, that's a nice looking tractor.
I didn't paint mine original and I still love it.

hi Kyle, I had a petrol/tvo fergie before I found the dexta. The seat although old fashioned was more comfy than the dexta seat

Most anything is more comfortable than the Dexta's original seat. Like having your backside bolted to the differential.
I made one trip down the field and replaced the original seat. I now have a suspension seat and love it.

I'll have to look and get back to you. I hope the name and model number are on it.
