    Yes, it’s an Engineered and approved product for this model tractor. Cost was $750 so I get not everyone would want to do this. It had a home made one on it which would have been more than up to the task but it was very talk so would stop it going in the shed and also catch every tree on the property while mowing.

    Sticker kit was easy to get, it’s a Sparex part so supplied from AGCO who own MF now and still available. About $30 IIRC.
    Excellent. $30 for a sticker set is amazing. I did look once for mine ... it was closer to $200 once postage was included though

    But you will have to something about that crappy muffler! On the TE 20 that I restored many years ago I had a stainless steel one made up, but that was a down swept exhaust, so not very big.

    That new ROP is bloody brilliant. Never had them in my day but always wondered about how far they stick up and maybe hit something.
    Will probably just hit the exhaust with some VHT paint for the time being, it’s in good condition overall just looks a little crappy now compared to the rest of it. 😁

    The new headlights and surrounds turned up so I stuck them on this arvo on my way home. Front end is pretty much complete now. 👍

    Looking great.
    Since this is a tractor thread, here are some gratuitous pics of restored tractors in the Herberton Historic Village. Is yours up to this standard?

    Not sure if mine is to that standard but mine is the right colour and not that funny green hue... 😉

    Sorry, it’s like the Holden/Ford, Kenworth/Mack, Cummins/Cat kind of thing. 😁👍. I’m team Red when it comes to farm machinery - MF or Case, take your pick, but they are nicely restored machines. 👍

    This is also in the ‘European Manufactured’ area. 😉

    Only joking of course, always welcome to post any tractor pics here. 👍

    Yeah, nice👍 There’s one of these down the farm already - not as shiny but still starts and runs like a (loud) clock. 👍
