The Nuffield 3/45 was completely stripped, cleaned down, engine removed for cleaning purposes prior to a coat of red oxide primer was applied.
Then the tractor project died and remained dormant for 6 years or more! There were many reasons for this, plus the cost and loss of interest.
However, it was decided to re-clean the tractor before a grey undercoat primer was applied then the final application of Nuffield 'Poppy Orange'.
The project went quiet again for some time before Matthew Bisp presented me with the enthusiasm to re start the reassembly.
The tractor is currently at a small holding at Ham Green, near Redditch and will remain there until she can be moved on all four tyres and under her own power.
Here you see her in her newly painted top coat.
