Finished and outside! Well nearly - just some bolts to re-torque, loader hydraulics to pressure test, nothing major. And what's that on the back? That's my next project - a New Holland 445E sickle bar mower - IMHO the pinnacle of evolution of this style of machine before they were completely swept away almost overnight (at least in the UK) by the advent of disc/drum mowers. This combination, with me on board, cut many
hundreds of acres of hay in the 1970s and 1980s. The 445E is still in good mechanical condition, but needs a rub down and a coat of paint - I think the decals will have to be custom made, though, unless anyone knows better?
