A good question!

Because:

They are quite interesting (engine, gearbox, hydraulics etc)
They dont have a lot of body work to rot!

I quite fancied one!  ;D :y

The engine is a Ford V6, the tractor is  Dexta....and thats the worry as the Dexta has no chassis and requires a VERY solid engine....

Its quick because the standard diesel revs to 2200rpm....the V6 will do three time that so top speed is much higher :y

A few more hours on the engine.

Three pistons fitted (i.e. all of them!)



Which were actualy a pain in the arse to do as they have 5 sets of rings with two of them being laminated sets (i.e. 4+ small rings!)!
