To my knowledge this Tractor has not fired up for at least 40 years and has been kept indoors ever since, I share your views and a complete restore to original colours was not intended, initially I need to prepare eveything to get it going again, but there is a lot of work to achieve that, such as a full decoke, regrinding of valves, repair broken crankshaft flat pulley, uncease water pump and belt tension pulley, overhaul the "Watford" impulse magneto, repair loose bearings on mechanical governor, repair the leaking radiator, dismantle and clean and repair water air cleaner, dismantle manifold and thouroughly clean vaporiser, the fuel tank internal baffle seperating gas from TVO are no longer, so intend to remove one end, thoroughly clean out all loose debri and fit an extra external one gall gas tank and use the original for TVO only.
Once the engine ticks over, the rest of the tractor will be dismantled, most of the worst rust removed, re-assembled and everything will be coated with WD 40 to hopefully prevent further corrosion.
A long but hopefully worthwhile job with lots of advice from your many knowledgable members.
