would that volvo shovel be the predecessor to the L120 or L150 mike ?

the difference in the mack & the renault as far as i know is the mack engine is fitted , nice pic rich , AGC had a whole fleet of 8 magnum artics & 4 merc rigids , used to see them regularly run out of their depot at cullompton , till gregory distribution took them over , the drivers that stayed were relegated to DAF 85 CF's , & the ones who didn't want to work for gregorys went to drive for greendale , which was later taken over by gregorys \ :D VOLVO now have a controlling interest in RENAULT trucks , as i saw a renault 7.5 tonner badged as a volvo thanks for the pics tris that little foden looked very smart , but they sell well as like DAF it's all part of the pacar group i dare say you see a lot more 8leggers & drags as well , just like the old 1950's/60's brs wagons oh yeah tris delivered to stroud hill farm today could have thrown a stone into pottern park farm from where i was

ok mark you can stop it now ,this has gone far enough ;) ;)

fantastic job on them both sean, likeing those a lot :) got any 2wd's in the offing ?

i meant the britains 6290 \

shame on you for encourageing , a rather poor attempt at the exhaust, by mr pullen , they looked ok on the 698 , but thats the reason it was changed on the 699 > looks good sean :), but my order will be a silenced pipe with a bend if thats ok with you mate

could be a number dating from a vehicle the same age , a personal plate if you want , or a Q plate

pics is the plural of pic so two maybe ? :D seriously MM what do you really think of the 6290 ?

gosh so it is :D

we've just done all this with the wheels sean , got to be grey

hey don't even think about it you two , this i'snt the big girls blouse effect ,im haveing a butch male batchelor moment withinn the walls of my residence , *insert butch smiley with macho puffed out chest* \ :D :D keeping an eye on you mr pretty boy , no off topic behaveyour on my board , got it chummy

deere fergy markuson it would seem that mr pullen has taken the time between household chores to peruse the letter your goodly self had written & is taken the appropriate action in rectifying the big girls blouse effect , it would seem, one hopes that the magnificent 699 he has undertaken may well be sporting the correct exhaust forthwith ,which is just as well as there is some cooking ,cleaning ,ironing & washing up that i need to take care of yours sinserelly cinserelrely sinseerlie sinfully mjb1

deere mr ferguson , as chairman of the massey massive i am haveing some serious doubts as to master pullens commitment to the brand , hours go by without so much as a photo to grace this topic. the excuses are comeing thicker & faster as we read. maybe it's that woman he's with that is bringing him to domesticiscity domestostitcittytydoomcitydomesticbliss under-the-thumbness. would bring this up with the board , but seeing as you me & mr pullen are the board , it's just me and you mate , was reckon to it all mate ?

sean the reply above was on the 5th , it's now the 6th now that re-wireings done , lets see the pic with the proper exhaust

another farm display to make me feel bad :( :D yet another post worth keeping an eye on

not often seen in red , but see loads of grey ones about very nice steve :)

hoorayyy at last someone who's built a left hand side trimmer & what a beaut it is :) :) ben wants one :D

nice 2wd W reg MF 590 turbo :P :P

well thanks alot mate \

fantastic transformation steve , well done chap :)

so then Mr Pullen ,silenced pipe with bend if you please

no marky thats not the way , seans got it right so far , so lets not let him stray, a silenced pipe with bend is the correct exhaust, the rain cap type was more commonly found on the 698 & very early 699's ,don't want any of this straight pipe turbo nonsense on a tractor that was & still is damn near perfection in itself

lovin some of those camera angles mark, the backdrop gives it a look of quality :)

if thats your latest , can we see some of the previous please , . job well done mate , just like grahams , cracking :)

marky,did you seriosly not think this tractor was about in MF livery ?
