Yes Brian I know, I probably didn't explain it properly but that image was the trickiest to reproduce as you need to take a screen grab of the Claas logo, then spin the stripes through 180 degrees than reattach the red Claas logo onto the other side of the green bit,? something like this.

Regards

Joe.

 

 

 

Got you Joe, I read your post as you would need to do, rather than you had done 👍

Hi Joe,

Your Claas decals on your van are correct, don't change them. Green strips at back on both sides just like you have.  😉

I do indeed work with Claas Rob, or more accurately Sellars Agriculture Ltd. our main franchises being Claas and Lemken machinery amongst many others.

I'm sure you will meet our salesman when there, another Brian

Wish you all the best in your new job Rob. Eric is one of our customers and has some real nice kit .

I may be getting on a bit, but not old enough to be playing bingo yet!!!!!!

Cheers Bill, I think?????

Never heard of that saying before!!

For the first time in 6 years of trading I'm on the verge of falling out with a customer. Firstly, even after sending them a tracking number and assuring them that their order was on its way they went ahead and lodged a claim with Paypal. Then after receiving their order, they told me they didn't want bales because they were too big - no problem I say, as we offer a no quibble return policy. However, they return them with one completely pulled apart and destroyed. When I queried this they said also they thought they should have silage inside of them. Plus having sent the order out twice already because they claim not to have received it the first time, they suddenly decide to return a whole load of other things, which makes me highly suspicious that the other order has turned up and they think they can pull as fast one and get money back by returning anything they have duplicates of. As I said, normally I don't hesitate with returns - we all make purchasing mistakes, but there's something not stacking up here. I think if he'd shown some interest in trying to sort things out amicably before going straight to PayPal (I texted, emailed and tried to phone him without receiving a reply) his story would've be more plausible - or is motherhood making me more defensive?

Unfortunately, there are some losers (I'll be nice) out there that try it on. Weird thing is they think they are being really clever and no way will anyone suspect anything!!!!!

Sorry to hear the sad news Bill, you can always remember the good times as you wanted to, I think a memorial shield is a great idea.

My thoughts are with you Bill, wishing you all the very best over this sad period.

My lovely wife and son got me these for Xmas

Okay, there was a fair bit of hinting/naming which ones etc etc by me

Booked a room at the Hilton Treetops Aberdeen for Saturday 4th May 2013 the eve of the 3rd North East Model Farm and Construction show. I hope I can spend more time in the room than I managed to last year  

We will see Bill

I will be adding one of these to my collection for sure, but can't help thinking they have stuffed this one up as well. The cab proportions look all wrong to me, the height between the wing/bonnet level and the roof is too big. The low height of the cab was this tractors biggest failing when they were launched and was never really sorted out until they went to the new cab on the MX series.

20th Sept 2005 for me. Just looked on to view peoples collections and conversions

Yeah, I should have one to suit, some of the hitches are slightly different where they go into the chassis from memory, or maybee its just the front hitches that are like that.

I'm sure I could sort you out with one Dode, give me a chance to have a look. What model tractor is it for?

That'll be another John Deere for my collection then :)

Was a good inch of snow here last night Bill, disappearing fast today though

Ah well, at least the boss is looking after you Tris

No probs David, The mower would probably fit on to one of Brian Normans B250's, that would probably make a nice pairing??

Erm i not to sure if the i'm taking the Doe's to Penrith, would be nice to take them will have to wait and see as i should really get on and do some more to my 1/16th forestry diorama

The mower does fit the B250 and does look very nice together. I have that pairing in my collection.

hillview ive even offered to chauffer a few members from the ferry or airport to the show if they were coming over

And I'll maybe get the chance to take you up on the offer next year Brian!! :)

Sorry to hear that Sean,my condolences to you all.

Clinterty college engineering are moving and merging with Aberdeen college at Tullos, not Craibstone, farm students may be going to there though. Thats what I was told from one of the lecturers anyway. The buildings have been taken on by another independant training company.

I was round past with my dad today since he wanted to have a look round his old work place...he had never seen the workshop like it was today before ;D . I saw quite a few folk there including Andy Ingram and brianih634's dad...I think they were maybe just "tyre kickers" like myself but you never know ;D ..anyway if you look at the link you can download a catalogue and you can even bid online from 12.30pm

Let us hope it is a nice dry day...and a bit of sun thrown in as well for good measure

You just never know Bill, he my even have been a mission for some certain people!!

Hi Fred,

Like the conversion you are doing

One thing though, the tractor you are trying to re-create would not have the transmission hump between the drivers legs. This cab was commonly known at the International dealers as the "flat deck" cab because it has a flat floor from door to door.

Looking forward to the finished article.

Mr Softie is just visiting tomorrow, not selling ice cream. I have arranged to meet up with him there

I'll be having a look at the pictures for sure Bill, well done on getting first prize, just shows your attention to detail in storing and transporting these machines pays off.

Brian Gray from Methlick is no relation of mine at all, although I do know him, he is an electrician and we had a few jobs done by him when we stayed in Methlick.

I did think if we were back from Aviemore in time that we would stop in past for a look, but we were not back to Oldmeldrum until half past four.

Have the day off tomorrow for Turriff show, hope the weather holds out!!
