Gav836

Well we fill it up out of cans out on site so we're guessing its condensation build up that escaped the filters. Landy shouldn't be too bad as the switches aren't dear IF thats what it is. However its the last straw, as soon as i can find a replacement its going!!

I'd go with Fiat tractor as well, looks like a sand cleaner on the back

Had an absolute barsteward of a day, it all started so well too, 48tons of muck delivered by 9am, then it went downhill fast. Not only has it been thick freezing fog for the last 3 days, to top it off today my tractor decides to lose power followed by errattic running. I get our engineer out from the yard, we change the filters and clean up the fuel lines, it decides it will run for a minute then start belching out white smoke and clattering like a bag of spanners. We decide to clean all the fuel lines out and then it runs perfectly....................................for 1/4 of a mile while taking a load out Result is it has been low loader'd back to the yard with suspected water in the injector system needing new injectors and the pump reconditioned You'd think it can't get any worse right? WRONG! On the way home tonight my lovely Land Rover decides it doesn't like having working lights or indicators on a narrow backroad - it's now been recovered back to my usual garage so we can see whats wrong tomorrow, we suspect its the switches though. Merry f*@king christmas!! \

Pardon? i'm right? you never usually agree with me :D It may well be a tad expensive but there are plenty about if you know where to look Not too sure on the MF one, hard to form an opinion without actually seeing the real thing \

I'd say the one of the Ransomes myself Marky, but i'll gladly come and take a look at them with you if you want me to

Now there's a surprise Chris :D :D

Was this the link that you meant to post? I get most off my ideas off this one http://www.opico.co.uk/variocast-gallery/index.htm

These are the best ones i have i'm afraid, at the minute i leave the yard at 6am and don't get back till 6pm so can't get any better pics either for a while

As well as our fleet of 7 Ares 836's 1 816 and 1 640 we also have one M reg 106-54 left in the fleet, although its only 100hp compared to the 836's 195hp it will pull a 10 ton spreader just as well, the old girl pulls like a train and has a great engine note to it, i had it raking up a couple of months back with the doors open, boy does it snort. Definately one of my favourites, completely bombproof engineering on it as well, been very little trouble in its 9500hrs

Do they make life jackets for action man figures :D :D

I'll send a mop and bucket round for you :D :D

Looking good to me James, get a PTO shaft fitted and the headstock squared up and it'll be spot on

Nice collection there, think we'd better get Tris a bib for the 8210 pics :D

watch it Pingu before i start leaving comments on a certain picture

They were taken at a place called Stanfield, its a blink and you miss it village where i lived for the first 25 1/2 years of my life

That would be the one that i'd think of as well, if the BB doesn't fit the bill, i'm sure that one of the Krone's out there could be converted

Nice project for a few of us on here to try Jason and easy to follow I'm sure that it would look good in MF colours Sean, not too disimilar from one of their balers either

Shouldn't need to do it more than once :D

mine was a blue as well, F reg Ford 7810 GEN II, its still on that farm as well, bit different from the JD

Not really as the farm it started its life on was a wheat only one so its a proper grain trailer not a root trailer, it does have rather large wheels on as well

and this is the carting tractor

Snapped this round my mates farm this afternoon, went there to get more pictures for my model. This is the one that mine is based on

It looks a very good start to me Thomas, looks all to be in the right place

Just looked at the bottle, its not cryanolate, its called Cyanoacrylate

Again its in my local model shop, all comes from the same wholesaler they get their Plastruct and bits from. Its the best superglue I've ever come across
