Nice fancy brass plated socket there Jamie Liking the look of the 5455!

Few more Masseys to add to my collection, But not before they get a few alterations!! MF 7624 MF 7499 MF 6475

Might have someone with a 5480 cab, will find out for you

Got a JCB 550-80 today, Grand model just a pity about the fixed axles

Thanks Bob Apparently the 298 wasn't the best of the range 290 was supposed to be a far better tractor Haven't actually seen the 298 with the linkage but might see If I can go round when he's at the grass to see if I can get a few pictures of her in action!

Sorry to burst your Bubble Bob The 298 is gone aswell, broke our heart in repairs, couldn't keep a clutch in it and was forever stopping with fuel problems, Got a good price for it so let it go, clutch didn't last 100 hours last time for whatever reason, Just never worked when we needed it which was about twice a year to mix slurry and draw grass so we let her go, A man not far from us then bought it from the dealer and now has a front linkage on it which he puts a buckrake on, this is his second, seems to suit him well due to the duncan Lift off cab This is what we have now in place of it Will get a picture of the full fleet when first cut eventually arrives!

Thanks for the great comments lads, Thats the plan, to make our our farm equipment in model form over time Yes Robert we sold the Massey 4255 in the summer of last year, Got the 5440 in place of it We still have the NH doublechop in the shed incase we ever need it for zero grazing, we've enough silage still to last another couple of weeks but it could be out this year unless it warms up abit and the ground dries, Unfortunately the harvester isn't on in the picture ready for first cut, that'll be a while yet

I hadn't either and any pictures I had seen were different style cabs Its a C & G cab made in Dublin The tractor is out of Scotland Originally and I bought it off my mums Uncle who lives about a mile from me who no longer needs it

Thanks Thats the plan, the company that made the cab is still on the go so I'll hopefully will be able to get all the parts I need Finished first year at uni now so off for summer, so thought it would be a good buy as a summer project Going to try and do as much of the work myself if I can Will keep you updated!

Will get some tomorrow and post them up!

Model Farmer JF 900 A fantastic model!

Yes Master Needs some TLC but thats what the summer is for

A Stanley Lithium 18v Hammer drill Halfords tool chest and drawers and a 1975 Massey Ferguson 135

Has anyone seen the daylight robbery that Royal Mail are now charging for postage, For a box of a reasonable size less than 749g it was £2.70 first class Now its if the box is over 80mm in any direction its gone upto £5.65 regardless of the weight They must be having a laugh???

Those look class Barry! Very tidy work

*cough daylight robbery cough Good buy, You got a good bargin there! (So many models are thrown out, its such a pity! People don't realise there's weirdos like us out there that actually want them )

Deadly job, You really are thinking outside the box!

Parweld is a nice reasonably priced mask, On my second now and got good service from the first, the new one has the grind function which is handy, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parweld-XR915H-Everyday-Light-Reactive-Welding-Grinding-Helmet-Q-/160959189691?pt=UK_BOI_ProtectiveGear_RL&hash=item2579ea52bb

It is yeah, The only problem is there is quite alot of cutting in 120 wheels haha... but needs must, They seem to have a very hard side wall but I find they go out of shape the other way, but then again there'll be no weight on them

Thanks for your help by the way!

They are trelleborg pattern trailer wheels, They have a ridging around them but I removed this off one and feel its required to keep the tyre shape, I might try luke warm water with lubrication as that might help

Thats the problem, I've Already taken the tyres off the 120 wheels and painted the centres I just am having difficulty refitting the tyres back on again,

I've recently got some wheels that I've painted the centres on, The problem has now arised and I need to refit all the tyres, I can't warm the tyres as they deform when stretched once heated, Any help? All comments much appreciated! PS I've 120 to do so would be really greatful of tips

Liking the look of that! Good job! Does the weight move?
