NIGEL FORD

Finally got to do this after about a 30 year wait from doing the ditcher on the MF165..... Only recent years has someone done the bonnet side decals in nice "white" background rather than the CORGI brownish ones. Note I have filed off the clutch pedal as Corgi made the mistake that the Select-O-speed only has a small "inching pedal".

Can't find the article where I mentioned this that I did 34 years ago, but found it again tonight: Hungarian TORPEDO based on BRITAINS DX, hope to find the Elastolin based one soon, too? Admin, feel free to move it if you like to the previous feature?

Doh! attach image. I see the Dalbo breaker ring is very different from those we had between our cambridge rings 60 years ago though, not an easy pattern to make!

Hi Mark, I have a load of worn Cambridge style rings from a SCALEdown mould about 40 years old, smaller than my AT34 triple-gang set, approx 20mm tall and 3.2ish wide, certainly more than 125, I may even have enough of my bigger, current production ones. A breaker ring pattern shouldn't be too difficult to match but would be a while before I could run off that many!!

you'll still need to keep an ear out for the broken tine hitting the "keel" before they still get thrown off, no headphones on or cab music, Ha Ha, I never had those options anyway!

Cor! You'll need to shroud that pto, it'll wrap with hay before you've gone a hundred yards in work. Otherwise it looks like the previous owner has tined it correctly. Best fit some tine catchers though to protect baler knives. We found big baler twine tied lasted quite a while round the back of the coils, & yes I know there are proper catchers now, but expensive(?)

will dig mine out that I did about 35 years ago,...... sometime. I saw them the other day while hunting something else.

Oh!! I saw the Duncan cabbed one and put a watch on it. Hope you can sort it.

Vicon Acrobat?.......

I've quite a few too, with sales leaflets galore in, all stashed away, fortunately long before these self destructing things came along, I see some bags of boot sale toys/models in my eaves have turned to flakes, what a mess.

absolutely, had both a 4000 (from new) & later a secondhand 4600 both with Fieco cabs which we moved the MIL Master MkII power-tip loader onto as faster hydraulics.

Deere version to follow?

Needed the wheels off this for a project I've wanted to do for 40 years or so ,so thought these would go nicely as replacements, though had to modify centres, hubs and add circlipped ,keyed shafts. Was it Bedfordia farms had one like this back in the 80's? Hope the project will materialise in a few months.....

I had the same problem a few years ago too ,but I think I gave up as a JD is just not worth the time....😜😉 surely the JD converters on here must know? such loyalty after all these days!!!

Just released: RANSOMES TS59 4 furrow plough kit, see SCALEdown website. Note new semi-digger bodies from our AT9 & 10, 2 & 3 furrow kits with more ley style mouldboards. I used one when still at primary school weekends & holidays running downhill only behind Dad's Super Major in the early 60s before we went reversible soon after.

can't have been many of them over here, maybe the next after the Howard Bigbaler before NH & Welger big balers?

left-handed drills help, after a good overnight soaking with 50/50 auto trans fluid & Acetone well shaken.

about 70 last night, from a grey Fergie to one of the biggest tyred Fendts in the Westfield, East Sussex Christmas road run all lit up. The best being Cathy's cousin's JD 6215R with large illuminated leaping deer on the front weight box and string lights all over including the Spearhead hedger out the rear.

bout time they did the NC dump trailer in green. They did the Marston in several colurs.

really! ? Still some major errors...

and...if you already spotted it?.... not heard about these before? Anyone know about them, I haven't looked at the CLAAS website yet though!

at West Grinstead ploughing match last Saturday. Olivers, 200 years in business CLAAS Arion.

The tractors are DINKY and the trailer with "replacement" wire drawbar. Two MASSEY-HARRIS & the other is a Field Marshall, all early versions before they used rubber tyred wheels, except trailer- always had tyres. Lead animals contain some early BRITAINS items, other makes may be there too. Welcome to the Forum.

anyone got 4250 stickers ready for these? Gotta put 1050 rears and 700 fronts on one.

Hi Nige, on the website www.modeltractorco.net homepage and more on the DB page
