Looks really good James. Nice to have a hobby where you can use your hands. I´ve a friend who is doing up a Volvo T21 (I think) The Furgusons are well known here (it´s rural where I live). Totally restored my Volvo PV from 1956 a few years ago (it just sailed through the MOT this morning!) Another 2 years before the next one! Show us a photo of your project!

I did up an old Nuffield Universal when I was 14. Great memories. She was a complete wreck and I only paid £275 for her.

Used to use it to tow a rear discharge muck spreader. Cracking engine. Would even start with a flat battery. 3.4 litre BMC diesel.

The first vehicle I ever drove was a 1961 Fordson Dexta about 27 years ago as a 14 year old. Pleased as punch at that age. Not the easiest to start with either with the centre gear lever and hand throttle. Had a shot since on a 1953(?) grey Fergie that still exists as a roadworthy(ish) vehicle. Not road legal I suspect as the lights are all missing, but still used off road in the North of Scotland.
