Hey Marty,

The guards and bonet just been repainted by the seller, so at this stage it will stay the red. The engine, gearbox and mostly the "whathaveyou" is all grey...
It's a key start baby, which I treassure as wouldn't fancy to have to crank it over at the front. Remember as a kid I had to help my father on a couple of occasions to start up his Russian made cars ( Moskwich & Lada ) ... could always get Joy to do it if the need arises

Mick, it hasn't been to EC, but it does wheelies with tooooo much ease especially when you have the slasher on the back

If it's hanging stands with just the slasher over the back Pete, you really need to either hang some weights at the front, or fit a roll bar....or both!!! I can remember near flipping ours pulling the ute out of some mud one day. They like to lay on theirs backs!!!

Definently read owners manual

I remember driving one of those as about a 17 year old working in a Market garden on weekends, we used to have forks on the back and would pick up a pallet of Pumpkins, and we'd have about 4 kids sitting on the front to enable the steering i.e. after the front stopped bouncing the wheels would grip it was actually easier to "Skid Steer" it using the rear left and right brakes. ahh the Good Old Days before OHS

How come we all didn't die as kids???? The things which happened on a farm back then...I would hate My kids to have to grow up with it? I doubt they'd make it!!!!

Yep My sis & I used to ride on the tractor mud guards at my granpearents chook farm at leppington.......& what about the makeshift quad that was called a ride on lawn mower
