  1. This is a very nice model for sure, I posted a couple of pics back in October 09. The only gripe I have is that a Siku driver will not fit in the drivers seat, otherwise it is a prize for any collection.
  2. Thank you Deere-est! You just "bonded" two threads together, err, what kind of glue did you use? All kidding a side, a break, crack and/or new part to be bonded is always looking for the correct glue. These have work well for me: "Plastruct Plastic Weld" - spreads using capillary action on joints, the parts are in fact welded, you may need to use rubber bands for large parts but once welded you can toss the item around the room if need be and it wont break, not at the joint anyway; "JB Weld - Kwik" - a two part weld mix, used with pins of various sizes and diameters, works wonders, mostly used with metals. The Plastruct and JB Weld may get pushed to the side in favor of a super glue though, depending on the circumstances. The nice thing about super glue is it isn't permanent.
  3. Loctite makes a "Control Gel" super glue, among other brands. The nice thing about the gel is it doesn't migrate, doesn't make white marks, it will bind not so flat surfaces and sets up faster. I have used it to repair hand rails and small parts, works like a charm.
  4. I did my dangest to find out if the tractor in the photo was salvaged but to no avail. Although I did come across this photo during the process. I don't think a front loader would have helped in this circumstance. (hopefully this is OK as well) http://david.farmnet.com.au/2009/09/16/johnny-caught-the-train/
  5. Hey walterderwent, have you considered this implement instead of the simba for your Ford? http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=28734.0
  6. The photos taken by your Dad in the late '70s remind me of images I have seen of the "Black Blizzards," they were huge dust storms that took place in the States back in the '30s. They were very sad and gruesome times for the farmers back then. Anyway, it doesn't take away from the splendid pictures you have taken.
  7. You're building quite the collection there 05rich, nicely done!
  8. Thank you for the encompassing complement Tris!
  9. Always fun to reorganise and document the event with some photos! Great ensemble of Claas, very nice collection.
  10. Thank you walterderwent! Thought you might like it, your dad drives Case crawlers if my memory serves me. Have you made any decisions on your next acquisition? I haven't seen any farm gear that has caught my eye in a while, although I did get a nifty new implement!
  11. FOCUS MAN! \ You could go nuts thinking about what to choose! Been there done that!
  12. What great things to say about my collection, many thanks! Yes, I do love my STX and Sixteens! Keep an eye out on the yard, hopefully I can get all of the fleet together at one time!?
  13. Texas thank you! They are in 1:50 scale. The Yard is always active, you never know what you'll see!
