that shed look's the job boss

just thought i would put up some of the pics i'v taken at work

Very nice conversion. Is the hitch from PMA?

looks to me like the hitch is off the imber ford

don't know if this has already been mentioned but i  came accross it so thought i would share any way  ;)

hi i am going to restore the sekura cab on my massey 165. would any one have any pictures of one of these on a 165 or just of the cab, and also is there any where that sells replacement parts for them as i have searched the internet high and low and can't seem to find any.

could any one also tell me was there originally a back window in these type of cabs ?

thanks

Aaron

thanks everyone, yea i wasn't sure if it was the diff lock or not, as for tipping the trailer is it the linkage leaver closest the mudguards or the one closest the seat that has to be moved into the constant pumping setting or is it the small leaver that i have circled

thanks Again

can any one tell me what the wee small lever is for that i have circled

also what is the foot pedal for beside it

and to work the tipping pipe at the back which linkage leaver do i use ?

thanks

Aaron

:laugh:

As long as you don't put twin beacons, twin cb ariels, windscreen sun strip and front fenders on it though!!!  \

was considering twin beacons possibly leave off the cb and put a sunstrip on  ;) ;D

some pics of her partly stripped down ;)

Juts found this brochure which I'd forgotten I had 

i gather thats the same type of model of cab thats on mine or did they make several different models ?

Looks tidy I must say , like Marky I have not seen that cab before . If it's just the sheet metal covering that bad you should be ok that's just cut and refit new , it's the structal beams ect that cause problems , ct mag did a bit or two about cab resto work a while back found my copy the other day may be worth a back copy or two for refference

it's just some of the sheet metal that needs replacing so il hopefully be able to get a sheet metal worker to replace it 

What a lovely machine you have there... it is indeed an AD4.203 engine as the exuaust is on the left... and as for the cab, I don't think I have ever seen one in the flesh.. and I've seen a lot of 165's in my time 

The cast aluminium bonnet flares and headlights date it as an early model as well.. although the numberplate says it should be a 1968 model.. I suspect it was made earlier than it was registered.

Send me the serial number and I'll see if I can date the year of production for you

I gather the sekura cabs are very rare then because i have been searching for a replacement back window for it and havn't had any luck

i havn't came accross the serial number yet but i will be back up at the tractor next week so il have a look then  ;)

Lovely, very original looking too. What a lucky chap to get your hands on that one. Good for you, must have a grin from coast to coast now!

give it a couple of weeks and it won't look so original  ;)

ohh your rite ;D

last one for now

will take some more next week before she's sent to be sprayed ;)

well i just got given this 165 from my great uncle i think it has a 203 perkins engine but please correct me if im wrong  :

it is surprisingly in running order despite sitting outside and not moving for the mast 10 years and started on the second turn of the key

not sure of year as of yet as there is a manual and bits and pieces for her but havn't found them yet

my plan is to strip her down and fully restore her

my main worry is the sekura cab as i would like to keep it although the sheet metal on it is starting to rot and i don't no if it could be repaired or not however the main safety bar in the inside is solid  ???

sorry about the quality of these first pics they where taken on my phone just before i put her in the shed to strip her down

some do, nearly all fits siku linkage , but britians newer linkage is a pile of dung

That is not dificult Massey Man

You  turn the back wheels oposite way´s and the come of easaly!

For the front wheels take a screw driver and you take of (gently for not damaging them) the hubs of and then there is a smal screw behind it!

Great work Martijn!

thanks

i gather this was just a prototype that never went into production because i have never seen one before :of

;)

our local contractor ashley foreman bought a new harvester its a 980 jag although it hasn't arrived yet so he's using this 950 supplied by the dealer until the 980 arrives

looks well  ;)

are the original wheels easy wnough to remove ?

few more

was coming home from work and came across them, sorry about picture quality took them all form the tractor ;)

http://www.dromone.ie/ball_agri_products.html has any one used this type of P.U.H yet and if so whats your opinion on them, personally i think it looks daft, however it may preform well
