That looks like it has always stood undercover, not as well set up as the one I drove on my student farm which had a 4 in 1 and torque converter shuttle transmission. Will it make that sort of money? Looks like it has the 3 point arms with it.

I think that front bucket was optional and called a tarmac bucket. Much heavier built than a standard bucket but cheaper than a 4in1. As best I know they were delivered new with the drop arms, lower links, top link, cat 1 and 2 balls, 2 top link pins, knuckle pin, 4 drop arm pins, inner and outer check chains, stabiliser bar, 9 hole drawbar, 2 drawbar stays, pto cap and 3 sided pto guard, various lynch pins and R clips. I'm sure at least one machine had a tipping pipe hiding under the rear of the cab floor. We never had reason to remove a backactor so we had piles of links and pins kicking about!
