Hi Tim,

Had the tractor out and running this enabled me to power wash it. This removed grease plus loose paint.

A Proper tractor at work. Shame it’s Green and Yellow!

Makeshift  tool for the valve spring

Roy has been working away on his tractor and has posted.

It appears the ball hitch on the back of the tractor is welded onto the back housing. Hopefully a bit of careful angle grinding should get it off.

You appear to have cracked the problem re tick over, Well done. Imanaged to work on the tractor removing the broken valve spring etc, I rang Gordon whom I purchased the tractor from and he will be dropping off the two front wheels in the near future. The existing ones are not correct and extra ones that are part of the deal, more parts have arrived air filter, hoses, ign warning light etc. The REPLACEMENT valve spring was under £4.00 from SILVER FOX SPARES, also a chrome nut and washer for the steering wheel will look better.

I have received the doc from the DVLA EDO 862 is now registered to me. HURRAH. Picture of some parts note that the ign warning light has a chrome bezel most now are black not original! Plus the top link is in good condition.
