OK, OK. There is one BIG flaw.

The chevron tires (yes...NEW...CHEVRON...TIRES!!) are backwards and should be 'v' down. At least according to the manual. You could either live with that or spend 20 minutes changing them around if you felt the need.
I have chevron tyres fitted to my Fordson WOT. I put them on backwards, against the 'direction of rotation' arrow as I found in a manual where it was advised that the performance and wear was found to be improved that way. I wish I could find the manual again as I am forever explaining to others why they are on backwards. Anyone else read that anywhere?
