hmm, don't think it's a kingsize mate :D

difficult to say pete the 675 & 698T will be the same size as the 690 , all bar the wheels to make the differences , so have got the chassis ready, just have to wait for the hammer to fall as to which it'll be mate all 1/32 fred think it would look an awkward convo to get those two scales to look right on one model hmmm all good bar the 595 bonnet paul , going to have a fair bit of work to fill the gaps where the bonnet & cab meets , unless of course you're going to splay the bonnet & refill the gap. look forward to the topic mate , replied to yer PM

all good mate , plenty to look at :)

thaks chaps ,really like to do a 675 & 698T now , maybe a 698 as well one day

hmmm................. may have to bring down the 699 or 3070 to help you out with the dung sometime mark

thanks mate no i don't think i did paul, as it's a nigh on perfect fit for the ROS cab to go over it . however i did cut the bonnet down for the 699 but cant remember why ? as i should have just cut a groove into the bonnet for the cab to sit on http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=18246.0

gggrrrrrr i wish you wouldn't keep posting pics of yer 165 johny , it keeps making me want to spend money on my 168 of which i havent got nah just joking mate keep posting them, will keep giving me insiration to get bit further with mine

what & ruin my weekend

whoa there sean mate sorry people CAR FULL NO SPACE AVAILABLE blimey sean , that would mean i'd have to be A) sociable polite C) awake & i really need the whole of the back seat to fall asleep on , unless you plan on finding more 'girls in garages that snog each other '

great to this finished sean, really looks good mate , whats next a 29xp

nearly choked on me cuppa tea then mark :D :D

mig doesn't always give good welds rich , well not if you've seen my welding lately :D :D looks a nice trailer mark , much rather see this than the 4wheel trailers they bring out , fit most headers i would think though would it or will it just fit the deere header ?

1. on my rest day mark, & was at mads mum n dads house, after dropping the boys to school & had to wait there to pick them up again (saves traveling all the way home again) 2. if i had the money mate i'd love to , but what nowadays would you pay to replace a tractor like this ? it scrabbles about with a rear mounted bale spike or a yard scraper , or just used for spreading sawdust about in the chicken houses now. uncle C can't work out why the loader was sold either , or as he see's it as selling the family silver this little tractor was the main loader on the farm till it was helped by a 590 with 80 loader in 1978 ? the first manatou didn't appear on the farm till 86, it's done a lot of work

looks to be good going gav, well as long as it lasts that is first few pics make it look as if yer wearing a tie \ now we've met a few times but i wouldn't say you were an outragously big bloke , but either yer not shareing yer mars bars with the dog enough , or a ladyfriend is feeding you too well , or (been a few years since i wa in a JD cab) the JD cabs look unbearably cramped

had an hour or so spare yesterday so decided to free up the leveling arm on the tractor , lack of grease being the main culprit, once in the vice a bar & a few pumps from the grease gun & it was all free'd up ! second pic is of what made me the massey fan i am i supose , although the first proper tractor i drove was a 165, this little 135 was the first tractor i actually got out with to do some proper work unsupervised , albeit with a haybob turning hay. this little chap is the last MF on the farm & was bought new in 196? on a C plate , spent nearly all of it's life with a loader but for some unknown reason the loader has been sold & as far as i'm aware this remarkable little tractor has only had it's clutch replaced once ! it's now on it's second time round the clock with 3?? now showing all the main line tractors that were all MF have been replaced over the years & apart from the 135 is an all fendt fleet including two 820's a 936 & a new to come 718 which will replace a 716 times they are a changin !

compost, carrots , cans, fert bags, good to see it all working to bring the pennies in mark

yes,yes & yes , ticked all my boxes john :)

looking good as usual johny ,so much better on the smaller chassis, the longer one made it look awkward

proper quality build you got on the go scott will be a belter when it's done

nice pics ricky, always clean as well , i take it the 3050 will be 'till death do us part'

looking good mate really good

nice to see you eventually get back to the 600's again sean , i got my 690 & 699 all uptogether , so will be hoping to do a 675 & 698T sometime all good stuff mate

take it you mean the big mac john ? thats when you called mate relics they maybe mate , but as far as i'm aware the 1080 is used regularly , but not sure what the 1135 was in for , he had another two 1080's in there also but too dark to get any decent pics ah , unloaded feed in monmouthshire (wales) then over to this chap near chepstow to load organic wheat to deliver back to the mill certainly is mate but the majority of my pics are from welsh farms ! so just like the westcountry warriors these also get quite battlescarred

looks well tidy mart

just love machinery thats still running against all odds
