  1. my uncle has a 110-90 2wd hes bitterly disappointed with it they say you would look away from it while its flat out agitating they had alot of steam one day i heard great for diet feeders though and i dont know how rare the 100-90 2wds are but our 2nd cousin has one but it has some nasty rot on the cab pillars
  2. great works so far im halfway through the mechanical work on our 165 but i wont be restoring her like you and definitely not keeping it original either after trying to find a mf 35 loader i gave up and put a tanco 968 fel on it i thought about replacing the steel surounds but the only company doing them is english so i think ill get a local engineer to just replace the roted pieces of steel you could do something similar or else get new pieces cut from sheet metal
  3. nothings set in stone but i might be getting a mf 35 been on the look out for a while and mentioned it to my neighbour and he knows on one and a ferguson in an old shed and are left there after the owner passed away he only saw them while he was collecting scrap. but they are covered in pigeon dropping though im told but even if it has affected them its just tinwork probably hes trying to find who they belong to now and hopefully itll be on its way to me soon enough and seeing how they are just left there hes sure theres no interest in them
  4. have you really worn down the tyres to 50% already we have the original front and back tyres on the 3085 after 8300hrs tyres but one of the backs blew outs so that was replaced the front tyres need relacing but the original back one has about 30% if not more when compared with the new one theyre goodyear ones ones so that might be different the ones on the case are firestone and they arent that bad maybe 60% after 1950 hrs \
  5. it was alright only notice when i posted it we alway dealt with the suirway you mightnt know thenm from carrick on suir our 3085 was one of the last tractors they sold so they shut in about 1995 we had alway dealt with hem because they were close then all their customers were shifted to suir garages i dont think my dad was too fond of the sales man there because he was pushing the 4255 and dad wanted something bigger for hauling silage and he wouldnt play ball we would have probably had a 62 something if he had but we ended up with meehan & slattery with the ts110 fine tractor and never gave bother pity they didnt sell us a newholland again but i think they were told to stay out of it but we talked at the machinery show and he said he would have taken ccare of us if he had known he retired in 07 i think not lonag after we got the case i believe so all the loacal by pass aidan, patrick deal with the locals
  6. the reason other countries can produce things so cheaply is because they are unregulated maybe not in machinery terms but in the ways they produce the end product my cousin did his work experience for college in new zealand where they were sent into the pin of calves witha hammer once enough replacement heifers wer got and then these animals were dump in an open pit which was only closed when it was filled imagine if they tried to do this here even if the calf died naturally the paper work that is filled out then the knacker has to be paid to dispose of it properly then and this has happen a number of times to us we get letters actually threatening us from the dept. of ag. then after a couple of weeks arguing over the phone it turns out some plonker in the dept didnt do something right even thought its their fault we still have to fill out the paperwork and state it wasnt or fault taking up our time without an apology and now they are going to regulate us more its getting beyond a joke the amount of paperwork is needed for basic things now and still they cant trace thing when something goes wrong perhaps they should start regulating themselves the eu are destroying agriculture sure were producing the highest quality produce and getting crap prices for it people still buy the imports and then the people that do buy the garanteed irish or whereever might still be buying foreign produce because there are loop holes that allow them to do it
  7. thats what i told him but i dont think it was too dear anyway and it is fully comp would be a shame for her to go up in smoke only to see shes third party i dont know if its worth getting a second opinion every other dealer around here would rob you probably the best dealer we ever dealt with was m&s in cahir and they could sell to us the last time because we were out of there area and the couldnt cover the call outs even though they sold us the ts110 without a bother murphy motors tried to sell us a tsa125 because they had one in stock and it was nearly as cheap to get a tsa135 still no discount even though uit wasnt waht we wanted and he tried pushing it and we didnt like the salesman but hes left now i dont even know wheres the next case dealer weve been dealing with them now with the last few years and we couldnt fault them might be a bit slow to order stuff in but they know their stuff in the store and theyre a hell of alot better than suir garages but we priced a abbey tank and they we only a few hundred dearer than for a hispec but we had a buyer lined up if it went to killagri and hispec were making them dirt cheap only a while ago but steel went up so theyre all the same now but that would have made up the few hindred in the difference and the actual salesman is crap up there if you price with the store man its better
  8. had the same before silage time last year 4 days just sitting around keeping my head nice a straight did the trick but then went buckraking with the buckrake on the back of the tractor after silage i couldnt turn my neck right recovered after a week but still cant fully look right almost a year and a fortnight on plus i get spasms down my neck now that nearly throw my shoulder out so let it recover properly
  9. we just renewed the insurance and its valued at 55000 i ddont know haow accruate that is you can have it for 56000 so colm or else can i have a lend of some money for matches and petrol that last pack of matches was dodgy should have known seeing how they were case genuine parts and yes paul shes a case mxu135 06 reg 1943.7 hrs on her when i finished this evening shes cost us over 1800 a year now once we averaged it out there we looked through the bills it was around the 1500 untill last year but we had a big problem with the hydraullics and the parts were second hand and it still worked out crazyily dear we only learned last week when she went back doing mowing that its not even fixed right we didnt notice because she puts up most of her hours spreading slurry and ticking over around the yard and the only hydraulics on the slurry spreader is the gate valve on the back which only requires a low oil flow the mower uses over 5 times the oil flow to lift it and its only put on that twice a year so we only noticed last week we were kind of hoping everything that could go wrong with her had but shes proving us wrong when we get it paid off well sell it hopefully if we can afford it i think theres 2 more years payments on her and colm if you still want here youll probably have to deal with abbey retail where they sell proper tractors
  10. my neighbour has one of these for stacking scrap when he got it first we thought they had put a tyre on a fire but they had just started and reved it up too soon the cloud of smoke could be seen from nearly a half a mile away so its definitely a ford engine its missing the glass in the back and the two doors and the floor is completely rotted out of the cab the backactor is painted blue because it was owned by i think leicester council if that sounds right id have to take another look but its along way from home thats for sure
  11. here here is all i can say to everything simon said in his post they talk about thread depth on tyres i remember my dad coming home from a teagasc talk where they were told to get the most out of a pair of tyres to cut costs i know few farmers who are hoarders generally what ever money people make is ploughed straight back into the farms on improvements and maintenance if there was more money for people to spend then im sure people would carry on the same habits but it would mean at the end of the year people wouldnt have to worry about if the price they would get for their cattle/milk/crop would cover the overdraft they had to take out to cover these costs in an ideal world sure farmers would have everything in tip top condition but we dont and when you think about it how many accidents actually happen in agriculture if you compare it to others it is very small. and i dont think you would find someone who wouldnt replace a worn tow eye if it was pointed out by a driver or a tyre or a set of brakes/lights htere are people who do use this lack of regulation as a way around problems and use tractors for other task but these generally come from other sectors and these are the people who should be stopped
  12. i asked him about it and if he did that it over rides the safety feature that stops the shuttle from being engaged when some ones not in the seat and he said he did it on a fair few tractors and he had heard of a few them knocking walls or taking off in fields because they had hit it on the way out i wouldnt be too worried about me doing it but dad would probably manage to do it sometime plus it involved more work to do that and i wanted it fixed so i could get back at it tomorrow but this is the second time its happened so no doubt it will happen again and if were slack ill let him do it its typical of the case though theres allways something wrong with it we were told this by a fella who was a big case follower who had just bought a jd when we were just after buying it "the big things will cost ya and the small things will annoy ya" was how he described his last one we should have listened to him probably
  13. i think the 3.5t limit is on a car/jeep &trailer until your 21 combination i think thats how it goes here so its probably the same
  14. a bloody wire in the seat in the case that goes to the sensor that tells it if your sitting in the seat or not that gets cut if the wire gets caught in the supension and if you put shuttle in gear it sounds a buzzer and then another buzzer because you have the pto going and your not in the seat and because the handbrake isnt on and your not in the seat so 3 different warning sounds going off at the same time all while im sitting in the seat trying to spread slurry i only did 2 loads with it and had a headache so packed it in had a fitter friend out fixing it today he said hes constantly repairing them thats its a design fault were beginning to think case didnt do much thinking when they designed these tractors
  15. you read my mind especially the f140 and get one of brians jfs to put behind it
  16. missed a day hauling silage for my uncle because of a summer exam in school what a load of bull and i could have done with money for diesel for the jeep too
  17. or like on some tractors it starts beeping if you travel too far with it on better than self canceling because there might be manouvering involved getting in gaps and having to keep turning it back on might be annoying but then the buzzer gets annoying after a while and ricky it might be worth getting the tombstone and axle x-rayed like they use on engine blocks to find the internal fault mightnt be problem now but if it got a good whack on some rough groound in a few years it might be a problem and youd have no chance going back but chances are if you got hit from the side then some of the impact would be absorbed by turning the tractor and then the force would be spread over the whole front axle and probably the pin more than if it was head on which means it would have leverage and snap the axle near the center
  18. fantastic site the pics of the models show them off nicely
  19. not the first time i heard that and he denied it when i told him i wa told it we still had the original tyres on ours at 7000hrs with a loader
  20. as said before lovey tractor but if the tractor came with the cab id restore it minus the mirrors and michelin men i dont like the way people say they restored their tractor to its original condition when the original included a cab
  21. those are some lovely buys the 35 loader brochure must be very early with the round mudguards and grey loadr frame i have a slightly later one that my dad had since they bought the 165 it has a 135 with square mudguards and the frame is red cleaning out a yard with cattle in it thats your next challenge to find
  22. a replacement foot trottle if we do it up we wont need to build up the original just pop this one on the 3085 hasnt been up to much because i went to start it 2 days ago and both batteries were flat so i took them out today and we might get 2 more over the weekend
  23. a pic of the side panel almost ready a pic of the valve i got off of the scrap digger its not the tidiest with the handle bent and the top missing but it works perfectly so i can use the 165 for log splitting now i still have to make up some sort of bracket for the coupling on the back so its not just hanging there i had a bit of trouble fitting it because the original pipe was still down in it from when the original was fitted but a different pipe must have been needed for the valve to fit the 188 so it must have been left on it but when i was lifting up the cover the pipe came up too and i had a bit of bother finding the hole again one of the springs that pull the brakes back up and stop them locking down was broken so a spare one from the digger was put on
  24. jus a few pics of when i stripped the front tinwork to straighten it out the side panel was the hardest be cause it was flat so took a bit of work not to leave any marks i took off the mounting for the grill guard for the mf 35 loader that cracked the casing sometime but i have a spare one found the last pic is of the stabilisers thes were seized long before i can remember fo i got the gas at them lots of oil and then a long buckrake tine to leaver them free and it a treat
