i can't believe that they chose to use that cab other than the agristar they had available to them at the time , but if it's air cooled they're forgiven

please tell me the pic above is some kind of sick joke :(

it's no good i have to say it , everything about the tractor is great , all except the cab , it's just not right why has no one cast an ertl cab from the 6200 / 6410 ?

at the time marky i can remember standing next to it thinking this thing is huge !

those were the pocket catalogues i was talking about marky , but mine is on all the products available at the time , not a price giude

it was marky , it was released the same year as massey had the mammot forager in massey colours as well. seem to remember massey wanted a finger in every pie available & decided to brand anything availabe to them at the time in MF colours i saw it at the royal in 95 /96 ? farmer friend near me had on on demo for his driver , but it wasn't a favorite , he ended up buying a 3670 when he eventually swaped his 2720 in

look forward to seeing this in progress

sorry but i don't agree with the rest for red wheel centers , the only 135's about now with the red wheels are concours tractors , the mainstay workers on farms today have the gray wheels , every where you look in magazines & tractor shows are red wheel 135's . tooooooo much of that nonsense steve you know what you like as do we all , but for me your tractors look great with the plain silver , they look great with the red as well :) personal preference for me says silver

is there something you'd like to share with the group F-P ? maybe something gavin would like to share with the class ?

err.............. no you haven't

aaaahhhhh ikle pigwits all comfsy & warm :) :)

that looks good C999 any particular brand it was based on ? any chance of getting bigger pics posted mate

ahh toyota, japanese engineering at it's best , maybe worth trying to fit the loader to the starlet, save messing about with the radio :D

have you centered the drawbar C999 or does it still swing from one side still ? ben wouldn't it be quicker & easier to sell all yer stuff & just buy it back once it's been converted ?

apart from one being quieter & having a wireless you'd have a job to tell which was which when blindfolded :D be good to see if the 46 will be about when it's as old as the 3000 is now mate

i think you have two options here tm190, can either be left & sold as display only , & to be fair the people who'll buy it wouldn't really be playing with it as a toy , even for diorama's it's positioned for photo's with no movement involved . or simply drilling a hole for a locking pin to be used or even better a ram taken from a cheap farm set & painted might make the model look more authentic :) oops gav managed to post before i finished my reply hey gav let's fall out over this :D :D

thats exactly what it is ben i built an elevator for mine to be a harvester , looks good all sprayed in red C999 nice job indeed :)

hmm there's lots of controls there that can be hit with a hammer , but unlike the oldies , i'm sot sure it would 'keep her going' so to speak \ nice pics mate , so thats what thunderbird one's controll look like no mesh debris guard ?

where abouts is that then ? as there's a chap in nether stowey who collects old fords

hmm............. at sometime or another i've used these machines , so i know what i like MF698T & tarrup 309 mower or 2 390's & deutz km22 drum mowers MF699 & mf 610 forager or 2720 & mf 630 forager 3 x 690's & titan 7t trailers or 3x 390T & 8t COLLINS trailers or 3x 2640 & 10t COLLINS trailers 690T & rear buckrake or 390T & front mounted buckrake DB 1490/94 & claas WM 30 3 drum mower CASE 1694 & claas jag 72 4x 1390/94 2wd with titan7t trailers or 4x 1490/94 4wd & marston / norton 8t trailers 1394 4wd & frontmounted or rearbuckrake

A sheet rack would look good on the front of those , nice work mike the mesh on the front finishes them nicely F-P

don't think this old topic exists anymore though ben & have you actually seen the new hi-lux ? YYYYYYYYUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

fantastic magic tree luke :P :P :D

done a good job there will :) what did the wheels & axle come from originally ?
