A small update:
It arrived yesterday, and is (almost) in the exact condition shown at the pics...so far so good.
When i tried to remove whistle and safetyvalve, they both came out with their bushings, so will have to get those soldered back in there, to give the boiler a proper hydrotest.
The engine was completely stuck, but after soaking in some some WD40 and thin oil for an hour or so, i was able to get that freed up.
Tested the engine with compressed air, and it runs good and strong in both directions.
Biggest problem right now, is that i canīt decide if my newly modded D405 wheels should go to this one instead, and then keep the tractor in original condition instead.
Have another Mamod tractor here, but it is a complete older TE2 with exhaustvalve, and would sort like to keep that one "on its feet".
