Just found a pic of a very youthful me, complete with long hair, at work on the MF400 i used to drive digging out ponds, making roadways and demolishing old farm buildings, can't believe it was 30+ years ago!

We can't see your face so we can't see how youthful! :D
Good photo BTW. What year?

Probably better that way, youthful doesn't mean handsome! I believe it was around 88-89, it was a real boneshaker. Like sitting in a greenhouse with the oil tank next to the seat, but it was a good heater in the winter, put a sausage roll or pasty on the tank for half an hour and it would be lovely and hot!
