Hunting on Ebay for birthday pressie for wife and came across this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6252906058&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 This thread came straight to mind ;D

That's a v nice tractor. What will you put on the front?

I tried enhancing/sharpening etc as well but no avail I'm inclined to a 31......25? The bump in side panel and those discs aren't all that big.

I agree with Smurf, Superglue is OK, but long term and for really dissimilar materials 2 pack epoxy is best. Roughen and clean surface first and it'll never break

I used to have a 4wd 399 and it seems to be pretty good to me would like a 4wd drive one too!

Very nice....got the real KV look to it.

Looks like a tidy outfit that, mjb.Pity things didn't work out...........

Thanks all. She's on a 'G' plate, done 6700 hrs, and only had a clutch, 2 batteries and a hydraulic pump. Going to replace handbrake discs soon. There's a few years left in her yet!

Starting to look good, NH2. You're keen working on it outside :D

Aye the points were a wee bit warm

Cheers. I've decided that instead of salvaging some other old MF or something, I'll just try and keep this one pristine..........might become a collectors item before I die.

3rd Attempt! The 3065 is still used for all the light jobs, like rolling. It used to be No. 2 tractor for many years and spent it's life on a 3m power harrow, 4, Massey 30 drill or 8t AS Ace trailer. Here's a couple of pics.

'Fraid I can't remember exactly but it was reckoned to be of similar hp/size. I just put a 5f Kverneland vari width on it and it pretended it wasn't there.

Still got mine! Best size/power ratio on the farm and the nippiest for tight corners.

Smart photos and the forklift doesn't look too bad at all

Don't know about reliablility, but it went up against a (dare I say it) Fendt and outpulled/gripped it.

Yeah, but the little '65' will pull that no probs

I reckon as usual UH have got the detail dead right (front linkage is really good) but the overall look'n'feel is spot on too.

Sacrilage to have them all lying there like that........

That looks good! The rear PTO is just waiting for the drill to be fitted

Must be boys land down there.........SIMBA would disappear on my fields just now and I don't think the TS135 would pull it anyway!

Here's a couple of pics from last summer when I had a demo of the Atles. I didn't have anything big enough to slow it down though. My mate was Renault dealer but lost out in reshuffle and is now doing Valtras, so hopefully should get a 'wee shot' of them now and again. Looks like he'll be getting a 'N' series as a demonstrator first.

First one here is the trolley which discharges the grain to left or right and can be moved electrically back and forth along conveyor. Second is my little drier which fills from auger above it at right end. This lifts grain from an intake pit on other side of wall. Discharge is at left into auger which lifts to conveyor.

Took some pics today, really dark dull day and shed a bit minty just now.......... Hope they help, FP. First is conveyor belt in trough. About 250 mm wide. Runs at about 25 t.p.h. Second is drive end of conveyor, with auger which lifts grain from drier.

If you could spare one I'd be grateful. Could you PM price etc? Ta
