Lyn, This looks like a Winget series 2 or 3; the earlier series 1 tractors did not have hydraulics. Original livery on the later tractors was usually yellow (like the dumpers) with green wheels, so I imagine this one may have been painted red at some point. Normally powered by a Lister SR1 8BHP air-cooled 552cc single cylinder engine with hand-start. The one in your picture obviously has the optional electric kit on it, so probably has electric start as well. Parts for the SR1 engines are still available. The front-loader looks original, although the roll-bar is most certainly a later addition. As regards the pedigree of the tractor - excellent workhorse, poor brakes, damned noisy, if you use the loader then make sure the wheels are as wide as possible, since the vehicle is liable to tipping on uneven ground (less-so than a similar-sized Kubota, I have to say), front king-pins and steering are a weakness, and the wheel-weights at the back put additional strain on the joints between the wheel-plates and the half-shafts, so if you put a transport box or large trailer on the back be careful you don't over-load it and sheer a half shaft. Gearbox parts are almost impossible to find (I'm looking for a half shaft for mine at the moment)
