Hello to all.
First ,Thank you for letting me join this forum. 
Have just become the new custodian of a 406 Agri spec.  Already the forum is proving handy re  insurance,  that done I can't wait to bring the Mog home and start  a spot of TLC
First run should be interesting, as it's around 4 hrs..... and picking a non motorway route should be quite different.  Pictures to follow.
Jim.

Hello Moose. Thanks for the advise.  Chap I'm buying it from has just had all what you mentioned gone through prior to selling. So fingers crossed.
I'm guessing if anything fails it will be a hose or the like.   Got my twin brother on standby with his Mercedes 817  beavertail.  Could just drive it up on to the back of it ,but I would rather run it to get confidence. No rush 40/45 mph should be fine.  Keep the radio on and you might hear a rolling road block on the A14 😂
Got insured, there are some benefits of getting old...
