What smashing little tractor, it does cracking job with the dozer blade on, when I was a young boy we lived at Nettleton in Lincolnshire and the guy my dad worked for had two Bristol crawler tractors with a front loader, it was called an "overloader" as the loader arms were so designed the bucket whent over the cab and it had an overcenter bucket that flopped backwards and emptied behind you they were great little machines for working in restricted areas
The engine sounds like it is running so well and looks in great shape - I can see signs of renovation but is it's history that it's been quite well looked after?
Thanks. Went through a top-end rebuild on the engine and now it has good compression and runs well. Considered further restoration for looks, but we're using it for real work and didn't want to scratch up a new paint finish!
