You'd be right about the handle, has had many repairs its its life time, u'll notice a new crank handle casting sitting on the chassis.

You can get parts from USA for those Madison Kipp oilers if needed Slim, unusual to see such a complete tractor of that age, looks good. David.

I remember looking at those vans and their slide-on camper back in the 70's at the factory in Springwood. With the door in the rear and being all fibreglass they were ahead of their time.

John, thanks for getting back with a close-up pic of the hitch. I haven't seen one like that before, so will keep a look-out on eBay.
Life is about to get mad earlier than usual down here because we need rain now, and if it doen't happen soon then there will be wheat crops cut for hay. The export hay market is sound and the processors are keen to buy wheat, even bearded varieties, which they normally avoid.
There are 3 exporters in the region, and their first choice is oaten hay, but this year is looking like a short-fall in tonnage, hence the interest in other crops.
