Valley Axe Man

Nicely done with the extra's on the forager John

A tidy selection there Cyril

Sounds a canny plan there John, look forwards to seeing your 4 pot collection grow

Looking good John , are you slowly working your way to a collection of 4 potters?? how long before you do a 26/2850?

You and your man seem to be keeping busy there Smithy, and look to be making a tidy job too

Cheers Smithy, i think you'd have seen this trailer at Spalding when Andy was opposite you Glad it's brought back a bit of a memory for you Sean

Here you go Paul, it's a simple shaft in tube type but would allow a bit of articulation

Nowt wrong with that Justin, and your right about them now doing a few things that are needed, Does make me wonder in the grand scheme of things with the NC models now coming through, and more to follow next year, if we'll ever see a NC forager by Britain's.....

Nice little haul there Justin

Cheers Martin, Andy was going to talk to his dad to get abit more background on it, your right though, a 32nd scale trailer such as this, maybe even in kit form would make a nice model

A couple of the more eagle-eyed amongst you might have spotted this on my table last weekend at the Lakeland show, picked up last month at the HEMS show, is a model of Andy's dad's own trailer from the days when Andy was growing up on and around the farm, a 3.5 ton tipper, tube axle and split rims, with a swivel hitch that allowed a degree of articulation, in its earlier years was painted red and blue but was repainted to match a fritzmeyer cabbed JD 3120.

Cheers John, Aye They are but gets addictive... haha, There's always next year for a natter How do you rate the 6400?

Some good looking buys there Martin and plough looks great too

Cheers Joe..... Aye Folk keep telling me that.........one day it might happen......

Nice haul John

Cheers Brian..... i reckon you and 16th is abit like me and facebook...... one day it'll happen... just don't know when Aye Martin all 16ths apart from the scaledown based 802, The 1174 be a nice company for the 974, just need to get motivated along with other things. but at moment my get up and go has got up and gone..... Cheers Justin, hopefully i'll try and get some done and pics posted up

Cheers Justin, aye i've been slipping abit of late, there's a few projects sat on the bench covered in dust, including a 6 pot Major thats still to go back together, the 32nd scale 802, the 944 County is still as it was with the grille cut out ready for the new one to be made, and there's a 754 with half an engine in it, another 6 pot conversion but that one would be to end up as an 1174, the cabs drawn out, but just seemed to have got put back with the models somehow...all best laid plans.... always somehow never go to plan, abit like my intentions to give the full size major plenty of road.....need to somehow find more time for myself again.

Finally got this finished for weekend after being sat on the bench for many a month collecting dust, a UH DM4 fitted with 16.9x34's off a 7000 and the 7000 fronts fitted to the nuffy rims.... Not really perfect by any means but my get out of jail excuse is a set of 4/65 halfshafts in the DM4's axle give the facility to fit the 8 stud rims.... sounds good at least if not technically right haha

I've noticed that Paul, everything else seems to load fine but at times over the past 2-3 days it seems to have been slow to load, indication being the amount of time taken to load the thumbnails in the todays pick box on the right hand side of the homepage

There'll be there John, just pulled the forager out for packing with the 465

Well this years resoloution really fell by the way side, of giving her plenty of road but she did get out a time or two over the summer, can't quite remember over the past couple of months when this pic was taken, but i do remember having a tour over the fell to Newton and stopped in Dunsop for an ice cream, One of Uncle Bob's twin scoop Banoffee with a flake and sprinkles ....

looking good is that Great job Martin

Nice updates Smithy, and good to see you down at Spalding the other week

Glad to hear you ok Justin, hope the rest of your family are all safe and well too, fingers crossed the damage isn't to bad around your property and you can get back to a normality fairly quickly

Cheers John, it's still growing......but slowly! some of the Nuffy's might make an appearance at Penrith in a couple of weeks
