Ok. I start.
1970's Kubota B7000.
Mostly cosmetic restoration but fixed some stuff here and there as well. Just realized I've never took any good pictures of it restored. It had a third function that I used to run an homemade hydraulic broom attached to the bucket.
1962 Toselli 226 crawler tractor.
Full restoration, the only think not taken apart was the engine and the gearbox but changed the seals on those. Had a bad band brake on one of the tractors, broken final drive casting and some minor issues here and there. Most just wear from lack of maintenance.
1970-ish Agria 8900D articulated tractor.
My most recent project. Full restoration, pretty much everything was torn apart, clean, inspected, fixed and put back together. This one had a broken valve shoved through the head, center joint has so much play that was ready to come apart on its own, along with various other issues.

My 60+ Mutt. Called Mutt because he has a 64' engine, 56' transmission and 57' differential. My go to tractor used several times each week except in the cold, then we both stay inside.

My 1978 B7100DT I bought new. Use it for box blading and my CMI dump trailer on the front.
The 1958 Ferguson, use it for brush hogging only, used to belong to my Uncle and I operated it when I was a teen. He must have overhauled it, because the engine has like new compression and runs great.

Don't know much of the history of this tractor in particular but indeed these are used in vineyards on hillside and also on hillside farming.
Previous owner started "painting" it but then gave up. Good thing as he was painting it over dirt, grease and oil leaks. It also had an huge mouse next inside the duct for the fan, as this engine is air cooled.

You are lucky to have that crawler. My extended family grew grapes and there was a time when I wanted an Italian crawler really bad. I could never find one and after a few years I got over it. They are very handy little machines even if you only restore it and look at it every now and then.
