:of :of Holy **** This looks great I also used the lemken 9 furrow plough as a donor. Just cut up mine :'( to make some more ,before i got some parts from a mate that sold some stuff. Are these all brass apart from the plough bodies. Brass looks really nice but seems expensive compared to styrene. Once again great build

These are amazing very nice 8)

Thanks Mark

Look forward to seeing them suspect way better quality though. Thanks for positive comments guys, green paint work came on the go when Netagco stepped in. That sure is a Reekie bedtiller in your picture, coupled with the dowdeswell ridgers as mentioned by Andrew Stanford. Most had problems with the large idler gear bearings collapsing, or the stub it was on cracking out. Have sorted alot of these in the past, shame i dont see alot now in the fields. Just looked out my lemken plough, thinking of cutting it up to make more ridgers to sell on. Seems a waste though as not a huge amount of useable parts on for me. This took a while to build as i lost interest for a while, and have to build everything in my livingroom. Don't know whether to try seperator next or the planter?. \

Thanks for comments. Yes it was a pain in the butt to build more work than i first thought,fiddly getting all the small parts right.

This is my take on the Reekie bedformer hope you like it. It does not have the decals yet had probs trying this before. Iv'e tried to get most of the detail on, but have had to leave some out as it was getting cluttered. First is the brochure pic then the instruction manual pics then the beast itself.

Engine detail different as 3095 had 1000 series perkins main difference oil filter position. Fuel filters not same type, injection pump lies horisontal not vertical. Exhaust pipe curved at top, 3080 wouldnt have dynashift lever on steering column. Hand throttle different foot throttle different. Only if your being that picky though, ive probably missed a few things.

My computer just missed a ertl john deere 3350. It just froze up pain it went for £16-£17 quid, been after one for ages at a reasonable price.

3090 didn't come from factory with turbo only had ten more horses. 3080 100hp 3090 110hp. Turbo only appeared on larger 6cyl models or smaller 4cyl models. Loads were retro fitted with turbo conversions, great model though more money to find.

They definitely made a dung spreader old one wooden sides horizontal beaters, i used to play on a old rusty one at home as a kid. Only weighed it in a few years back not much left but the serial plate was still there.

sorry it wasn't there a minute ago

Where's the 885

Thanks will let Neil and Iain know it will be a good working classic when she is finnished.
