It might be of interest to some of you
Sold new in 1983 by a local dealer to a local farm contractor for silage work, at the time around here it was the biggest around ( far cry nowadays) It has a air-cooled 6 cylinder engine, with a distinctive whine that could be heard miles away. Fast forward to late 80 early 90s it was purchased by our family for farm but more so for timber extraction work, it was a major advancement compared to the little masseys that we had. The hour meter stopped working in early 2000s with 14000 hours, it now has in excess of 25000 hours, like all Italians the irish climate wrecked havoc on it, now I think it deserves to be restored and retired to like work.
I'm going to use this site to document its progress with a hope of other members finding it interesting.
It's not going to be the quickest thread on here as I'm working fulltime and parts are expensive and very hard to find
