Dear Listers,

I was approached by a fellow yesterday who says he has a complete chassis for a 1948 – 1954 vintage Mayrath Tractor. He thinks that the historical provenance is significant enough to warrant restoration of the Mayrath as it was alleged to be owned by Father Mecredi. My job is to try and verify that!

In the meantime, would it be worth his while to restore it in terms of value as a rare tractor? This was one of 60 that would have had a full body to the chassis originally. I would like to be able to tell this fellow who the experts are in tractor restoration, where to look for parts and whether the value would improve if restored. Opinions and advice are appreciated!
