They have this 1963 (or is it ?) MF35x - it has buckets, front and rear forks, a topper and a bailer - plenty for me to work on, maintain and restore hopefully getting some of the day visitors a new activity to observe and help with in a controlled manner with their carers help.

It had sat for a good while,(3 years ?) but in a barn, covered with horse blankets - I checked all the fluids, went around did the grease points, bled the filters and pump, hooked up the battery from my Land Rover and it started right up - the front loader was resting on a cross brace in the barn but did not drop any further when I backed it out, but descended slowly when I moved the control (a single stick), I had to lift the rear hitch all the way to get the front loader to raise, but did not like the noise when it's lever was all the way up (mechanical rubbing) backed off a bit, to stop the noise, but not too much - difficult to do, the front loader still worked - can any one easily say what is out of adjustment or needs looking at ?
