Woke early and was going to clean up and fit an old 6 volt coil to my Farmall Cub then thought sod that even if its works alright it will not be painted and would look odd. Instead surfing the net and picked up a brand new 6 volt coil for £ 12 plus £ 4 delivery so should have that by Wednesday and should have time to get painted and fitted for the next show which is a week tomorrow.

Bill I don't think I've seen any pictures of your tractors yet? \

Finally my first placement interview next week 

Excellent but you're gonna need a bigger mixer!

And oh for the space...

Like the numpty I am I locked the kitten in the top floor bathroom, so I've just 'broken' in from the outside I got a very surprised look but luckily she didn't try to jump.

Looks like they could do with a bit more of the green stuff though!

Oh boy, good luck with that Rick 

I might have to have a word with Mr Purdue at least for one of thos fert spreaders, and my expensive dream would be a forestry 1004/1124 County :P

Bill might already have this, or, if not, I'm sure it's on his list. #9647 Same 170 Turbo, yellow Twose transport box and man. It arrived today having travelled from Barcelona (after spending several days in a tnt depot/van ): 

Tray a little tatty:

And a crack in the rear window:

But otherwise I'm pleased though it was quite dear at £62 including postage. It replaces my old Same 170.

Farm visiting today

Some interesting responses here and useful advice to be heeded. I won't be flagging the driver down to ask permission, but I may at least try to catch their attention, gesture at my camera and wait for a response 

What are people's thoughts on whether or not to seek permission from owners before posting pictures of their machinery on the internet? Do they worry about people sharing photos of their fleet at a time when so much machinery is being stolen? I know it's not always possible to ask but does anyone else feel uneasy doing this?

Yes I'm sure that's it. Love the spec sheet, though I don't think many of those features worked on this one (no power steering for sure).

Cheers

You managed to put it together okay then, Chris

Tell you what, though - doesn't the little girl with the bucket look lovely in-front the stables

Yes that was fun! Not easy with the kitten repeatedly attacking me, I shall have to create an exclusion zone around my models I think .

Yes I like the feed girl. I need one or two more stable hands, perhaps a base for (former) potato picker lady..

Riding stables and fertilizer stickers from our Mandy, plus the middle muledozer (my best so far):

thanks John... no I am no expert on industrials... but.. I THINK.. the industrial 65 was called the 65 (R or S)... (two gearboxes... one instant reverse (torque converter), they other standard gearbox)... the 165 was called the 3165 in the states... but here it was an MF3303 or 3305.  The 203, 203x and 205x were all 35 based machines I do believe - it's all very confusing... we had an MF40 and MF50 tractor too which was a hard nosed version of the 135 and 168/175 (A4.236)

Mark this beaten up old thing was on the farm I volunteer at earlier this year, can you identify it? I guessed either a MF20 or MF40, but I know nothing about these:

2 x nh 110-90's, one blue with mx loader on and old self built silage trailer, the other brown with old tegal silage trailer on the back

Are they conversions Sean?

Novice question: how easy is it to cut through Britains plastic and would a junior hacksaw be suitable?

Tractorman810,

Thanks for that. I keep coming across these trailers with broken hitches for sale for a couple of quid. I was thinking about cutting the goose neck of at its base and grafting on a normal draw bar. This will be a lot easier if the chassis is hollow.

cheers,

adie.

I sold a green one recently without the hitch, wish I'd kept hold of it for you sorry adie

bought £15 worth of autoglym from an ebay member on 15/5/10 arrived at my postal address 6/6/10 to no autoglym, he's even left me positive feedback! paypal dispute on him!

More glym products? what is it with you urban types and your insistance on squeaky clean cars!

if you ignore the fact that the colour isn't MF red, and it looks like it's been on pimp my ride, with all that chrome, i don't have weights in mine, it just doesn't feel right.....

:laugh:

MF130 seed drill. Mint boxed and the worst model i own.

What don't you like about it Alex i thought it was a fair representation of the old 3m Massey combi/direct drill?

Never noticed that mate... strange hey ! .. all the best people come from Westbury

Like this chap for instance?: http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/8153037.Night_of_terror_in_Westbury/
