hi all im new here and i just thought id say hello and say what an excellent well informed site this is , i heard about it through the grapevine so to speak and i thought id share some pictures and videos of our latest endeavors , we have always been ZETOR / INTERNATIONAL men at heart when we were contracting many many moons ago so we thought " why not get a nice classic project " to do up over the winter !!!!!
here is our first shot at it so to speak , my brothers IH 674 ,
funny story is he used to own it years ago and sold it as work dried up and the lad who bought it ran it literally into the ground , we got wind that he was going to send it to the scrapper so we bought it back and gave her a full overhaul , we are waiting to get a new set of doors and a rear window to complete her but all in all i think she came out good for our first try ,
anyway we got very brave then and bought a 2511 ZETOR which had broke into three bits from being slammed into a slurry pit at high speed and then left to die in the briars for about twenty years , needless to say it was small money and when we went to collect it it looked like this ,
hours of chopping and cutting and plenty of cursing later we got it loaded onto a trailer ,
then the fun really started , every moving part on it was completely seized solid , thank god for elbow grease and large cans of WD 40 !!!! ,
anyway enough raveling from me on my first post , i don't want to bore the non ZETOR fans among you , by the way we have been amassing the whole " 5 " series of ZETORS and we now have the full set so there will loads more pics to follow ,
thanks for looking , terry .
