I saw your tractor in the Tractor and Machinery magazine. Where did you find the donkey engine? It did not look like there was one fitted when you unloaded the tractor. I have to replace the front axle on my R. The one fitted is worn out at the trunnion pin and is beyond repair....

Good work on the R. I have just got one from Canada. I think yours is in better condition. Don't worry about the donkey/pony motor issue. Technically JD call the starter a Cranking Engine.
