  1. ah mr cavil from stoke st mary , he's got quite a few classics still running , wonder if he still has the county 954 on a feed wagon ?
  2. ah see quite a few about like the one i posted earlier , but most i see are half burried in the ground have been pushed about with a loader , flatening them or just rusted out scrap now thanks mate
  3. nice 595 tim is that the one from monkton way ? the thatching people ?
  4. both look decent propositions , but if pushed i'd go for the super 6 either way both cabs would have to go
  5. nice work mate ,. but paint the guide rail , black , as thats where the grease is iky great stuff
  6. company colours i would expect, everything the Bristol Port company buys is now re-sprayed in red & white
  7. sorry paul i cant agree , i have to admit that shade of red really suits that tractor
  8. hells teeth mark did you get some plastitruct & glue for christmas mate , those builds looks great might want to shine those mouldboards up on the plough though mate bit of silver paint works a treat
  9. never really got into the drills & assosiated machinery mark , & although simillar in design if i remember the 30 was a precision drill & the 130 a direct drill ? so i would assume the 500 would be the next generation 30 ? funny, if you ask farmers they will always say how much more acreage they covered with these drills compared to the powerharrow/ drill combinations & for some how much cheaper it was as well , especially on the lighter soils, which begs the question why change to the combination drill ? any info on these 510 drills mark , how many were made & how much of an impact they made considering they came into a pretty well established market with the dominant sellers like accord & the like ?
  10. nice little 732 still in use here , don't know the production dates though
  11. lovely little tractor unfortunately those cabs suffered from having the hinges breaking away from the cab pillar , due to the door not having a stop strap or a gas strut, they just folded back to a rubber plug type stop which was fine if you wanted to just hold the door open , but no resistance to the wind catching it & ripping the door off. another poor point was the rubber cab mountings , they never lasted long & the cab would slowly shake it's self to bits also the cab fan was hopeless in the summer with all that glass it was a pretty uncomfortable place to work ..........like sitting in a green house
  12. bit late to the party i know, sorry john crqacking couple of tractor conversions , (including the 3085), nice to see you re-crerating the machinery you have had & still have to keep you occupied during the dark evenings !
  13. it really is a shame you cant get this display to shows , every scene is a real show stopper carry on mark , although the ford tractor hoo haa thing has gone on for long enough mate
  14. have you any idea what you've just said ? he's going to want it for spring spalding now !
  15. considering you ferguson crane is a rebuild , that transporter doesn't look too much trouble to re-create mark
  16. how can you have a few of one of them nice choice fc i think henri walker sells sekura cabs havent got a contact for him though
  17. most of these scams happen in & around built up area's because of the heavy traffic. it's unlikely it had false plates on as they wouldn't be able to claim. the usual is to buy a car for £500 -£750 & get the accident to happen during the validity of the 20 day covernote, it's not the clam for the car thats the money maker it's the medical claim for injury & loss of earnings or the ability to find work that get the big money. there was a case in bristol , where these sudden accidents were a regular occurance untill a lady in an estate agents office noticed that every time an accident happened it was happening to the same couple of men, she informed the police & they set up a surveylance team, & twice a month during rush hour they'd drive an old banger to the same point, get rear ended, get the payouts ,find another car find another insurer & do it all over again.
  18. no kidding ! ;D side burns reminded me of FP then
  19. oops forgot the link http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,23439.0.html
  20. got to be a good one if you want it to be this good , even as a massey man this was doing it for me ! 8)
  21. be a nice little trip out with penny & the transport box to get the 12 back !
  22. any updates for the 35 lately mark, or is it a case of time & money & none of either
  23. would imagine you local dealer would have an areasol to match or close to it at least . get that front tyre turned else all the die hard ford saddo's will never forgive you .......ever & was blu-tack on fords options list as an exhaust stabiliser , as struggling to see it on my 86/87 ford tractors price list nice conversion mate
  24. really ? a pusher ? surprised at that tris, thought you'd have gone the tag route, looks nice though mate , any idea on colours yet ? could do worse than the Van Bentum of course there is another well known hauler ,surprised you havent seen about , got one or two trucks about , green red & white , owned buy some old biddy i think, edie stobit ? something like that ;D oh yeah saw howards 6wheeler about in glasto yesterday ,a young chab with bigger side burns than you mate ?!
