looks well dan , best get it hitched up to one of yer trailers

yet another brilliant convo from the 5000 jobs a good'un deere power

up to your usual standard thomas , well done chap , really nice :)

great stuff graham , loving the pics ,

very nice convo , really like that mate

couldn't be more wrong i'm afraid mate , there's a 2yearold circular milking parlour& state of the art bulktanks that cost a fortune , , all the cows i saw were very content & well, the calf boxes were very clean with plenty of clean straw about , it's usually the four legs rather than the four wheels that get a a far better deal out of farmers like this . So what your trying to say is your nothing more than a petty crook :D

ah right going to be half hearted about it are you

veiw of the cab well with 9000+ hours mate she hasn't done badly . by the sound of things she's had a hard life & has never been out of the dung but as you can see all the bonnet pannels are in really good nick . i'll just remind some of you that , it's not just masseys i see like this , i just happened to have my cammera with me , i see some equally desparate fords & deere as well . unlike todays drivers who have state of the art everything , the tractors of this era were bought to be used & just a tool for the job , so it's not surpriseing many end up like this , but not all's lost , she'll be stripped for parts as the 290 is the same underneath & if that manages to keep going it all good . seeing as the grill was spread all over the flloor i decided to rescue the tipplie triangle badge from being trodden into the dirt from the cows , so when she's left to rust in peace i'll still have saved some of her , good of me wasnt it

and of course because these tractors arn't fitted with a wheelslip monitor you can keep a check on it from the cab , or to be precise through the cab \

just make sure you don't slam the doors & maybe a bit of polish for the mudguards perhaps ?

a few more close ups of the 590 , bit of a rub down & a lick of paint would do wonders for the old girl !

now for an all time favourite , 590 , quite a late one as well it's on a W plate so its a 1980 model , french built , which may explain why it may need a bit of a rub down , farmer says that if a battery were to be put on it it'd start , last used a year ago 9672 hrs

now for the ones that need a little tlc \ 185 6665 hrs , been here 3 years waiting for another engine to be fitted , the replacement engine has been sat next to it for 2 years \ 165 5345hrs , the front axle colapsed on this tractor , & was quickly bought in for repair, 3 years later the replacement axle is still on another tractor ,

a very well worked 298 , i've always liked these tractors , but in rather better condition than this though \ 298 6488 hrs

well i a smell of dissinfectant most of the time due to having to spray it all over the lorry when entering farms due to F & M but i still get some pics when i can , & found a farm that marky or sean would love to visit . but would end up crying or chaining them selves to the tractors with a petition for saviour 35 std model no hour meter 290 4592 hrs

blimey dan thats looking great , you giveing up work soon then ! like gav is :)

yet another simple , & very effective conversion , looks well :)

deerepower looks like you could make some serious cash with your conversions mate , especially like the forestry models , , best get one fitted out with half tracs, sprayed red & badged up as a highlander , they all look great !

blimey yet another new one for me , looks very good so far will be very interested to see how this one turns out mate

that looks very nice ol, i do like that a lot :)

great pics sean, no bneed for a display at toy-trac for you mate just bring them along :)

i wish people would stop saying that to me it now means i have to actually buy some thing to convert , sean mate , you know i only convert stuff i have around the house

now that looks much better mate, i personally voted for 6610 , but a 64 or 68 would be nice to see, just get those finishing touches done & it's a great tractor to have around :)

nice pics mark , good to see you back at it , those trailers look great all loaded up mate :) house ?

nice job there akey, nearly gone & almost forgotten, these trailers still get dragged out of the brambles for half a days work a year ! captured yours just right , even down to the look of ten bad coats of any available paint & the rust still makeing an appearance , the bent top rail finishes it for me ps ; make sure you have affixed at least one wheel wonky . to give the effect of a collapsed bearing
