mr softie

i met up with bc yesterday at lanark and he will have photo`s to put up as well, so watch for the updates

jez ive added the pictures to the my collection section (mr softies collection)

picked mine up at lanark today, very good improvements on this tractor from britain excellent details for the price of this toy

the 3350 deere was absolutly mint, there was a full set of fords on display inside, 2000 up to 7000 in various variations they were to jammed into the penned area to get any decent photo`s, there was a good display of models and all the deere1s are the collection of kevin stewart from dumfries, hes got an excellent collection

hi robert i think id agree if the light cutch 2140 has been locally owned you could enquire with the previous owner (who would hopefully be honest) to find out if they had any underlying problems with it, i think through experience the 40 series were a stronger workhorse of the 40/50 series tractors not that their was much difference to be honest . if you can get a good 2140 your onto a winner, the only problem we had with a 50 series box was the gear change from high to lo / reverse jammed and the gearstick jumped out of the selector, sorted with a crowbar and the 2140 we had had a heavy clutch but was put down to being the loader tractor

onto the model displays

the new genetation john deere theme

some of the vintage tractors from the show

was at the lanark tractor show today weather was excellent and met up with bc, soloshep , g&m and a few other people i know, excellent display but the inside area was terrible all the displays were hemmed inbetween the cattle pens, i have a few pictures but could have got a lot more if all the tractors werent all jammed together, so unfortunatly dont rate the show for layout or accessability
