what sort of prise you looking at for a 3mtr set gav ?

nice open yard there GGG gravel looks nice & smooth mate

LOOKS LIKE THE LAMBS HAVE SETTLED IN WELL MARK :) oop didn't mean to shout \

simon M was right about the prices mark , ?30-?35 was the going price for an up together 595 soon as i saw this for ?8 i had to have it . 1 ) mark & i were priceing the parts from brian up over a cuppa & worked out roughly ?22 for the whole thing ,si i was still about ?10 better off. 2 ) how long to restore ? approx 3 hrs .that plasticote is touch dry within 45min's 3 ) you cant :D this one was from the middle of the hall simon ,chap had a ?1 box which is where i found a few other bits an pieces

thanks lads , just changing the chassis to grey makes a big difference to it's appearance just waiting for the ferguson hot-line to ring as we speak ben !

thanks gav will look a treat with one of your 3mtr dutch harrows on the rear , be just like i used to drive then

have painted the floorpan & bottom section of the cab with plasticote red , not an exact match but very close , if i'd had a spray can i'd have done the bonnet as well finished

not really a convo but bought a 595 for ?8 at the toy & train fair on sunday stopping off at brian normans stall on the wayfor some parts , this time i have painted the chassis in the correct colour grey, using plasticote paint ,

thats an implement i've looked at doing a few times but as per usual it doesn't get done , looks very good so far gav , look forward to seeing it finished ,

yes but if you read further ben you'll see they swapped 2 masseys for 1 deere \

know what you mean marky , found a ford force leaflet hung on a nail behind an old army greatcoat where i used to work , quite an interesting find i thought , all the tractors were grouped around , but it was a bit tatty ,boss got me to laminate it & finally hung it on the workshop wall

digging up some real gems there marky

just flicking through CT & read that oliver walston has set his farming diary back dated to 1978 ! i can remember watching the series that followed him on the TV so i thought i'd have a look the pics are good as are the anual reports , especialy the machinery section , so if you want to see what goes on in a farmers head , have a look see , it's rather quite good http://www.thriplow-farms.co.uk/index.html

thanks lads for the comments , the displays are fun to do you build me a shed G & i'll send you a whole box of sugar puffs , how can you refuse an offer like that

likeing that graeme, the 21 was a cracking little tractor , as is your representation :) :)

:D :D you been sniffing blu-tac as well as BGU :D OI ! ferguson don't encourage them & any way you should be researching the film CARS
