any pictures..........teaboy..........ha ha!

do i get a price 

i take cheque

makings of a lettuce harvester

fingers crossed they got my telliepatic message about the fiat 880dt re release

restore it simon, sort out the pto, there is probably less of these in the UK then the greeen tractor you want to replace it with

is this one got the 'comfort 2000' cab............or is that another cab? i think you can get cab bits etc from McCormick and CIH still can't you

nashmach is on the money, hundy stallions

ya right belarus fan, most the ones you see done up on the net, are then sent to the track and flogged infront of a sled.....

ha ha!.........to add to the further SAME confusion

the first tractor is actually a gen 1 centauro 55

ha ha!...........very early one,........i learnt something today

anyone been to the SAME history site, you can spend hours there looking at pics

remeber these guys emailed me one day

they got a nice site

http://www.fiattractorclub.nl/

here is a pic from it, one of there members

the second SAME my father owned was a jag 95, i do remeber it, it brought it around 1982,

the oldest SAME in NZ is suppose to be a leone imported in 1968.......

i guess the importing to the UK had cab restrictions too......or lack of them, what cabs did they use in the UK on SAME other then the factory fitted ones??

i wanted to buy this but it never worked out

that tractor is a hydro too.......i think he had to stop a couple times, let it cool, i think a mechanical would be the ideal tractor for this job

it is a badge engineered MF marky, they were good tractors, i think Kumatsu had something to do with these ones in japan (or was i thinking of the IH284's).........or this could be a Shibaura

don't think they were using ISEKI compacts at that point in time

he did well out of the corn, got it to the elivator when the price was highest too

mr david brown

is yours a inline 4 pot, or a v 4

leone, centauro, samecar, had a V4, with a couple variations in injecter pump

the panterised engine was the later ones, inline engines, 4 pots were corsaro, saturno, leopard, etc

minitauro and minitaurus was 3 pot, delfino had a 2 cylinder

this centauro is a 60 i believe, early one, the later ones were 65's

parts for the panterised engines aren't bad to get, cause pistons liners, rings were common between models, it was just the crankshaft and block length that varied!

the V4 engines, like i have, are a bit harder to work on, more like a airplane motor, shimming the bores etc, and i maybe hard to find some one to work on them, but i do have a complete manual for working on centauro/leone motors, cause its the same as whats in my SAMECAR

on those old ones there weren't too many issues, hyd problems was a blocked filter, then clutchs every now and then

i think vapormatic carry parts, for us here in NZ we have the importer to get parts, then we have another guy who imports too...........he is very good, what he can't get from SAME, can source from the SAME dealers in italy

you might have trouble finding name plates for the bonnet, but you can take your time and paint them........as long as you have all the panels i don't see a problem, they will restore ok, 

be honest, these tractors are cheap and simple.........

the later export models had more panels, cabs extra hyd pumps, there are some round with big hours on, if you have a local SAME dealer, do one of them up, parts are available, and you get a cab

the drago always rings bells with farmers, the same tiger 100/105 italian tractor fans will tell you is one of the best 100hp 6pots ever built in italy

i tendered on a hercules160 a while ago, think i was too low, they are a rare breed, big beastie, if you want a big SAME buy one, if you want a reiliable big SAME buy a buffalo 130

guy in the netherlands sent me this pic

figures one of you might follow suit, and start preserving these beasties

last one

ha ha!....dumb title huh

my friend ronan, is irish but lives in america, works in a agronomy company i worked for when i went to the states

he brought his own small piece of paradise and needed a tractor, this is it

last year he grew corn on his paradise, so he borrowed this planter,

ha ha!.....ronan don't have much time for the net, but he has a toy collection that will make your jaw drop, pitty its all in boxes hiding in wardrobes......lots of it don't see the light of day for a good reason.........need to get him to stick his head in here one day,

he has a JD grain cart in 1/16 scale with jack that works and a roll over tarp......ha ha!

this is the last atv i had

250x, 92 model, awesome sportsquad

this is my oneday brother inlaw, he brought it off me

just loves going sideways

the 350x, with 13/36 sprockets will do about 75mph

ok got a couple pics of mine here

first one is the 250sx farm bike

second might be the 350x

in america in 87 they stopped building 3 wheelers for safety reasons

but NZ didn't have the same laws and old surplus 3 wheelers were sold in NZ up to 93'ish, dirt cheap

my atc250sx is one of these, its a farm bike

my atc350x is the largest production trike built, its a 4 stroke 350, with 6spd box and disc brakes, so far it has only dislocated my shoulder

i also had a trx250x for 5 years, fantastic bike

this atc70 is a kids machine that old people seem to like using on golf courses......it fits in the boot of ya car

i think i will have a lot of fun on this

i always end up buying old stuff, look at my damn tractor ha ha!.........

what kind of road going atv did you have.........i have many drunkin childhood memorys of donuts on concrete on atv's, some 4wd, be brought up round atv's.........atc's need preserving, thats why i like them, my friend has a atc250r two stroke, that is the fastest trike i ever been on

just goes to show, one nervous click on the button on a auction site, and you can buy things you don't really need another off........i own a honda atc250sx atc350x now i own a atc70

just gotta figure how to pay for it

heres the pic

hey marky........its red

naaaa.........ya chicken, weres the link, might be a wrong fittings starter

do a clutch and slave cylinder why you in there, will have a good tractor

wahey, more money for olivers and fergusons
