For some reason I really like the Marshalls, don't see that many around 702 804 100 802

245 270 ? please i.d ? 4100 4100

Feel like you've been neglected MF fans? This one was really special, it would have been spotless if a bird had not decided to poop on its left side Very tidy MF1200 (anyone here like these )

Thanks Nigel yeah shame about sunday afternoon, the morning was great though....I couldn't understand why it was so quiet around the machines and why so many people were perched on the fence so early....got a load more to come, for me it was the first time I'd ever seen many of the machines so I took plenty

I'd never have noticed that

Is there a way of telling from this view, because I could look at the larger version I have Get many photographs Nigel? what did you make of the event?

I would take either I'm struggling to get info, I've got gibbards book and I know the wheelbase and width (if its the same as the base unit), I've searched Farmphoto, google and past ebay sales, but because I've never seen a real one I need to get an idea of the desgin, how the rear is layed out and what is in the middle so at the moment anything would be good.

I'm afraid I don't have a 956xl but I would think that it would be too big. How close is the 956 to a case 2294?

I'm keen to make one of these and had hoped to see one this weekend but alas none was present (and i'd even taken a tape measure ) If anyone can supply dimensions for the cab and its over hang and/or photos detail photographs of the machine or even have a decent brochure that shows some of this for sale (not had luck on ebay, seem to buy the crapo ones) that would be great. Hopefully found a manual now (fingers crossed)

By request

Yep, I'll add it to the modern parked post though

Thats BIG for a single axle right? as in no one does one that big in real life???

Favourite pictures of modern stuff parked

My favourite pictures of the larger modern machinery in motion

Well I've scaled it from i885xlmans info and its spot on for a 885xl (within 2mm scale wise) and a bit small to be a 856xl, so an 885xl it will be. thanks all, more pictures once it is finished.

Chamberlain (beast! seemed to be running on one engine though, maybe didn't need more) Steiger Cougar Merlo Bristol Taurus Farmall Lister Lambo 600 Forklift? (ex army) Sprayer Whats this?

I wish a Stx had been at tractor challenge, that would have been great. Magnum looks great

One step ahead...thats where they are coming from but its taking a while to upload them and I prefer to post them in threads because I like the discussion....unless people simply want the links???

Thanks for the info peeps, looks like I'm going to have to black out that piece of bonnet Im'd you i885xlman, sounds very usefull

I wish I had some of those countys

Had a look at all of your suggestions (this site was useful http://www.ftmta.ie/search.asp ) Alfa Laval - couldn't find enough info Ipsam - Not going to do a galvanised tanker Pichon - Too french Connor - Maybe, but its a bit JD http://www.cliveprattgarages.com/slurytanker.php Arrow - NC - just don't like the look of them Shortlisted to; Tanco, Fraser, Marshall with Malgar as favourite I think the choice will come down to availible paint colours. Any idea the capacity of the tank? (Britains Lorry Milk tanker) Thanks for all pics and ideas

But is one of these more suitable (and whats the difference?) Anyone got any key dimensions

Major work done: Scratch built arches, fitment of JD axle (fits really will, require two holes in casting but is perfect, cab roof shorted and reversed, front of cab ground off, new grill, cab supports removed, rear supports moved to become centre ones Was based on this, but wondering if dimensions are right?

Based on one of these....
