Vintage Tractor

This old Fordson tractor was up at Hatston for sandblasting prior to restoration. I wonder if it will be at this year's rally?

Is the Kenny Irvine who restored this vehicle, the same Kenny Irvine who used to be a BT engineer in 1975? He was from Birsay.

He is still a BT engineer and still lives in Birsay.

Fair bit of work needed, usual parts required steering wheel , seat, wings, air filter etc.

You never answered my question by the way, is it the same Kenny Irvine who restored the Vintage Tractor in the picture?
