I decided to bite the bullet and make one good one out of these two. I began by grinding off the from rivet on both tractors using a Dremel. The second photo explains why the steering did not work on the tractor on the left. The end was broken off. The next picture shows the one-piece vacuum plated trim which makes up the instrument panel, the diesel filler, the exhaust and the air intake. This is the better of the two. I decided to use the bonnet from the tractor on the left, but to use the grille from the other one as it still has its headlamp jewels. After half an hour in warm soapy water the decals came away nicely and I added a new set. However the top grille is less successful as it is not on straight. I did not take the back end to bits so now it was just slot it back together. Now I have a really nice late issue Ford 5000 tractor - and a lot of bits.
