Nice pics jdman

I'm glad you took the trouble to post them up

Glad you had a good day Bill,

thanks for the pics, lots of nice motors there. :)

Spot on again Paul, its the Bergmann 2060, just a general release I think Ben I don't remember seeing any limited edition wording on the box

Correct me if i'm wrong but it looks like one of the 5820 2WD's like I used to do ;)

Spot on Paul, it's a 5820 converted by myself to 2wd and front weights added.

Thanks for the update Brian. I like the glass cabinets... are they Ikea ones or what ???

Cabinets are from Argos Bill.

i like that type of mccormick  my uncle had a 434 

do you find those lowloader trailers very bouncy when empty  as the one we got never seems to level off even going flat out  \ you would think it would stop but it doesnt  \  we take the tractor off and drive the machine (normally a schaeff 8 ton 360 ) straight up over the front 

Only used the trailer once, borrowed from a local contractor c/w tractor, was certainly a bit bumpy, but to be honest I was more worried about looking at where I was going, 55kph needs a bit of looking after :D .

Was able to just steer and drive off the side with my tractor, normally you would drive up over the front as you say.

I borrowed my uncles 7.5 tonner and tri-axle trailer to move it the other times, much easier

Thanks Simon,

I will be putting on rounded rear mudguards to her. About 60hp, 634 is the replacement for the 614, so a lot of common parts between the two.

very nice collection!!

what make is the all terrain dumper in reply 122 ???

Dumper made by Joal 1/35 scale Ben

What a marvellous collection

Is there anything you wouldn't bother to add to it Brian

If it's 1/32 or there abouts its in with a shout of being mine :D

Thanks for the comments guys

Nice to see you back in action Graham,

Liking the new grain store

Excellent work as usual.

Unfortunately I do not have any more upto date pics.

A few thing have contributed to nothing much happening to my tractor, firstly my son was born and therefore my spare time greatly reduced ( not a complaint I may add ), then we decided to move house with no room for my tractor (YET)

Due to various sircumstances my tractor has had to move home no less than four times, but now thankfully is actually in a shed that I would be able to work on her, eventually, but I have to help get a MF35x finfished for my friend first before we can start on my one again in ernest. Its his shed my tractor is now in.

I shall try to remember the camera next time I'm over at them.

Hope I havn't bored you too much.

Brian

Last two for now,

Was a bit of a tight squeeze to get in the garage, it was surprising how much room there was once she was in and wheels off.

Over the next two years in there she had rear axle seals done, engine removed and trans. input seals replaced, front axle pivot pin and bushes redone and various linkages and such freed off. Most thing were seized solid due to her spending a few years resting up in the Orkney isles somewhere

As you see she is a runner,  just

Check the face of concentration

Second stage,

Arriving home to our old house

Certainly made all the neighbours look out their windows

Well here we go

Finally got round to posting up some pics of my tractor, she was quite a state when I bought her, she's not much better now!!!

Got her about seven years ago, delivered to my work where the cab was removed and scrapped, it was just too far gone to be saved.

Last two for now, as you can see I am fast running out of room!!

Hope you enjoy the pics and feel free to ask any questions or for any close ups.

And more

Two more

This side  will be for the farmhouse and livestock side of the farm.

Start of my farm layout, it's taking some time to make any progress

One more from indoors, then we move out to the garage

Some updated pics

Thanks for the comments guys.

I shall try and take some pics this weekend and post them up.

Brian

Thanks Bill,

It was nice to meet you to.

I should really take some fresh pics for this topic someime as its way out of date

I'm far to scared to count them Bill, I might start thinking about what they cost me   I prefer to just look and enjoy :)

funny eh, they are there for your and other peoples safty mate, its not nice working on a road with stuff flying past very close like that, you should try it some time,and they can actually report you, for which you can get charged for iggnoring road and traffic lights even if they are tempory, which carrys a substancial fine if found to be guilty, i know, we did a guy a few years back for a similar thing,

try going to a funeral of a mate who was killed after some wally went through a red light on some traffic lights to mate, not nic e,if it had been us the last cone you all went over would have been spikes with one of our nice sharp 5 ft long spikes, see what your tyres are like after that one

Couldn't agree more Sean,

One of my dad's workmates got seriously injured at roadworks by some wally doing a similar thing

Fantastic pics :)

Bored?  No way, love looking at pics like these.

The last one is just great, a true working shot with the massey showing how hard its working :)
