The seat refurbishment was most impressive, especially at the front where it looked like it could be particularly dangerous for a bloke😵. I doubt you could do the same kind of fix up with a modern tractor in 40 years time, all the silly little plastic clips and parts would be toast. These older machines have stood the test of time and can be repaired effectively with a bit of determination. Look forward to the next one mate.
