It might be my memory playing tricks on me, but the cab you removed reminds me of one fitted on a David Brown from a farm in Devon that I knew as a kid, I can only recall that it was a mid 70's model about the same size as a 135 as we are talking about a memory from nigh on 40 years ago :lol:

It looks amazing. I have been wanting to restore my old tractor, but I can't find any company that sells original equipment near Denver at a decent price. Do you have any recommendations?

I've been in a similar boat with my own restoration projects and found that sometimes local agricultural supply stores have connections or can order parts. It might be worth giving them a visit or a call. For a wider range of options, you might want to check online marketplaces that specialize in farm equipment; they often have a variety of original equipment.

Hi, superb job.
Occasionally an industrial would have front mudguards (an option maybe?), have you ever seen any or know where I could get some?
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.
