fantastic pair of deere's mark top job as usual what models are they 3150's ?

all looks well mark , better to make a few good contacts than lots of bad ones

like the pics mate , especially the 188 & the side view line up as for the monster truck big pete it belongs to steve murty, a truckfest regular , he's also got one of the few official bigfoot trucks, a wheelie fire engine & a jet powered ford cargo that can blow over a caravan (yawn) thats why truckfest numbers are falling , same old same old ..........

now watching you dance would be a sight worth seeing :D

who'd of thought you of all people would end up as a massey driver mart ! just clicked round the site , got some good pics there mate , you doing bens site for him as well then ?

looking well mate , just some paint on the grill , some white on the reat mudguards & maybe a britains roof for the cab as the ertl one looks awfull

nice to see a yard full of rubbish for a change eh mark

passed me FLT test

umm........... no have to agree with the chaps above kev , i'll get some pics of the condition of some 35's i see on my travels , then you'll see how lucky you are , but as said it's down to personal preference

before it's sprayed , will have to get a couple of gaskets fitted first !

simply because kev , you very rarely find an untampered 35 /35x, & if it is untampered it's been on a yard scraper & beat to peices, letting the dung eat away at all the places it shouldn't be or a paint brush job .you wouldnt believe the condition of most 35's i see in desparate state of dis-repair , they'd be prime for restoration but not your's mate it really is too good my bonnet is dented , there is a dent & a tear on one of the mudguards , if it was as straight as your's i wouldn't bother with a re-spray

thanks sean

hooraa ! does that mean i can stop looking for wally's in their citroen sicko's :D

well sean for the £ he quoted , it'll be the whole thing except the cab frame , which i'll probably do myself

yeah but the crop was yellow , no sign of green in sight

some nice pics there luke , what area you in at the moment , you never nkow i might pass you , seeing as i keep going to rodway & yer never were there not once

thats a fairish wheel base from hitch to trailer wheels mart , ever get caught out with it ?

yeah , going to have to strip all the lights & gauges out before it goes up there though

also saw a chap about a re-spray , so in a month or so , she'll be off up the road for some paint to be splashed on her

the other side wasn't none too clever either , so the same treatment applied all done & no slack , main axle pivot has no slack& the wheel bearings are both good , so just greased up & done

all cleaned out & re-fitted wheel stud broken so knocked & fitted new one

dropped the stub axle & dug out the remains of the old bearing , been a while since any ballbearings went round in here \ old with new

well due to the fact she's carried a loader round on her for most of her working lfe , i knew there'd be some bad news at the front , so with new thrust bearings in hand i set about fitting them

these axles were designed to be turned , to give the owner the option of long or short wheel bases

looked too yellow for barley , so i assume wheat , but it's too early for that so i have no idea where abouts are you round there rich , get an artic load of cake from mole valley & i'll come deliver it for ya !
