steady on there boys !

Yes I can also relate to that Marky , I may be working on one tractor and suddenly I think of an idea for something else and then I'm off onto another . In no time at all theres 3 tractors in bits !

Nice old models there Deere-est ,just the ones from my era .

Looks excellent Marky ,I reckon you will be building some MF 100 series conversions next !

well done TM thats a very tasty conversion .

well done Ricky ,excellent work

Yes that is excellent .I hate to think how many hours work would go into that .

Thanks for that ,how on earth did you find it ?

Yes Marky thats a very common problem

Make it ?15.00 as its got a couple of chips on it .

Well its a more unusual version because its a late blue/orange one with the lugs for the Shawnee Poole dump trailer . I haven't got one of this type and I would have given my friend ?40 for it as it was . It is debatable for the value ,it depends how much someone is willing to pay for it . I may pay more than someone else .Somebody else would throw a model like this away

yes .this one was a bit too far gone to just part restore ,but still a lot of ptential .

I think there is a lot of potential with the older corgi and dinky stuff . They can be converted the same as anything else . Just on a smaller scale .

I will post up a picture a bit later

I will see what I can do

I have a met red one with driver you can buy for ?17.00 . Let me know if you are interested .

I am not sure but you could make an Oliver from a 990 . Without pictures to look at I am not sure .

How bad is the 1412 ?

The cabbed 165s are Matchbox .They are very good but the tyres are a nightmare ,if you are lucky enough to find a tractor with tyres its great .If not you can fit corgi wheels .

How about cutting off the mudgaurds ,changing the wheels adding a linkage to suit other stuff . Follow that with a repaint in chocolate brown and orchid white ,make some new decals ,add some round Britains Ford 5000 Supermajor mudgaurds and make a 1200 . Hang on a minute ,that was going to be a future project for me !!

Yes Barry ,they are Cori MF 65s but painted in the correct colours instead of red/cream . I like them better in the proper colours .

No sorry Jason . You are talking about the Corgi David Brown 1412 aren't you ? \ I can get more bits for the Dinky David Brown 990 .

My customer wants this restored .I can't argue with the customer ,the customer is king I would have left it if it was mine though . I will post up a picture later to show progress .

The tractors would look the biz with an old lorry from the same era .

The Leyland is a Dinky ,they made them in blue,orange and met red .Nice models .
