You could spend days in there! Pity about the rain and lack of tyres the right size. 

Sorted this out today. Worst bit is getting the reel off. 

The only thing is, it suffers from the same problem as the real one - tines catch on auger. 

Not too much until 3 wagons arrived for wheat, in the middle of a blizzard, at 5:30.....

A circular from the Home Office telling me not to employ illegal migrants.........I thought most of 'em already worked for the Government. 

I drove a Clayson with one on for a harvest when it was newish - I don't think my ears ever recovered 

It'll be an interesting brochure though. 

I think that's classed as 'too much information' 

I sailed with a guy with that er, problem once, we called him 'Mono' 

The tractor seems OK though. 

Good pics Johnny - I used to have a 3085 Data, she really was a good tractor. 

Sipping my Cappucino as I type

Loaded some wheat, then spring barley seed arrived. Now just waiting for a wagon to lift some seed beans. 

Never seen one before Marky, but in the UK we can never get hay dry enough to bale , but in the US they can afford to add a wee bit water!. 

Not much of a swath in the first pic.

Good stuff about the salvage op there Jason.

Now I've just wasted hours trawling the rest of that forum.   

That looks like areally well cared for machine in the pics. They were very good tractors in their day.  Look forward to the 'after' photos. 

Another beautiful sunny, dry day here (God's country  )

Here is what the BBC are saying for the next five days if you can believe them??

I use http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOME/ and find it accurate to the hour!!

yeah that reads better actually! :D

Nail on head, Jason. 

Still a shame to see those old buildings go....

Really interesting photos Simon. I like to see well looked after kit. 

Got the old 8360 dyno'ed. Shes popping out 128 at the PTO so is still well above the 135 engine hp she's supposed to be.

The display for my 'specials' was getting a bit cramped, so had a wee shot at building a bigger one. My 'office' is a bit cramped anyway.

(Carpenters, joiners and other professional woodworkers should look away now!)

Ben

for the record mate she's done 1407 recorded hours , so the numpty can go mate

of course there is the danger it's on the second time round the clock  :D :D 

but the engine sounds & runs sweet as a nut 

if that's true...she's only just run in - years of life left 

If that's your first model, I can't wait for what is to follow. 

No wonder my boradband never works - you guys are too busy scrapping to fix it.  ;D

it was mainley to save out ar$e$ as the bales were in a field next to the thames so due to the emence ammount of water we didnt want them to be washed in to the thames and block it and get into lots of sh!t for flouding someones houses!!!!!!!!!! :D ;) ;D

We had a big flood 5 years ago and a pile of 4 x 4 bales came to rest against a footbridge - it didn't collapse but it has a lovely bend in it now. 

Trying to up your brochure totals then?  :D

I think in 'those days' most people just altered wheel settings once and the wheels were like that for life, so they were useful but not used to their full potential.

I would not like to drive that 

You got my vote for a Dominator too
