Yes he he he

I hear that Classic Massey & Ferguson enthusiast magazine is also a cracking read with some hugely interesting and informative articles in it

Might be worth a read I suppose.

I like that but get the white cab on and badge her Ford

Yeah sure I am thinking I make take the plunge and get the UH Selectamatic its a model I just keep looking at, but you say the Implamatic is the better of the 2, I think I need to get to my local model stockist and see them in the flesh first.

Looks mint pal, I have never seen a 2wd in the flesh around here yet.

sorry about the picture quality

Nice example that thanks for taking the time to upload a picture

Once again Tim thanks, I will however look these models up unfortunately I am very picky with models I buy always been the same.

be lovely if they bought out a 1/32nd version but a latter model with luxury cab a 1978 model before the 1290 was launched

Quite agree

I now have both examples, the Selectamatic and Implematic 990. Although they are both very accurate in the main there are things on both models that I can see are not quite right. The Implematic is the most accurate but this model is a 'second series' tractor that was manufactured from 1962/3 and not as UH state on the box 1961. This model had a longer wheelbase, the front casting being 2 inches longer to accommodate the front mounted 12 Volt battery, the previous model had 2 6 Volt batteries, one each side of the seat in the cross-box. Another fault is the fixing position of the sway chains on the lift arms, they were never anchored to the drawbar. Another fault is that the heavy electric battery cable from the starter motor is trailing to the rear, it should be going to the front where the battery should be. The 'High-Low' gear lever is too long also. I have not unscrewed these models from the boxes so I can't comment at the moment on the underside.

Faults on the white 990 are, no front grille securing fastener representation, radiator bonnet flap not silvered, top link clevice 90 degrees out, 'High-Low' gear lever too long, rear wheel centres should be the same as the red model, battery cable on the starter trailing the wrong direction, reflectors on mudguards too high, 12 speed decal on the grille should be six speed as there is not a 3rd gear lever on the box, toolbox mounted in the wrong position, louvre bar pressings on the sides of the bonnet nosecone too far forward. Sway chains anchorage should be under the PTO housing, not on the drawbar. Seat cushion piping should be yellow not white, no engine stop control.

Just what I was looking for Tim great explanation of detail, see these things wrong put me off as I am a firm believer of if you do a replica it should be back on with detail.

As for accuracy can you recommend a detailed example of these models?

Well for me I have driven a Case 2388 nice machine and an old Claas 76 dominator

Well its in the classifieds section no enquires for her yet

Shame that

tractors get punctures over the years howard :laugh: :laugh: maybe the goodyears were on offer when the time came ?? who knows

Think I dribbled a bit!

Well have enjoyed this thread (Story) so far some great stuff there Chris, Like the DB on the conventional and I see the Landini is now earning her keep on the Spearhead.

There is a lack of Deutz on C P Agri.

Thanks Tim, I got it when they were first issued as well can't remember what I paid for it at the time its a very detailed model and yes heavy.

I am not sure if anyone here would be interested in it as its a crawler and not a Tractor but open to offers of sale or trade.

Luke thanks its in the attic I will have to get it out I have not got it out for a good couple of years

I have however seen them on sale but not with display case included.

Ok so I have a MIB Norscot Caterpillar Twenty Two crawler for sale or trade its 1:16 and has a display case, so realistically what sort of price should I be listening to?

I don't have a clue

i have a nice 8100 made by Dave Purdue as i used to drive the one in my profile pic in the late 80s.

Could you post a picture of the model up for me please?

Oh and the mudguards are wrong, its not a case of me moaning but I am a firm believer that if you are going to replicate a true classic or any Tractor to be honest you need to get it right.

The indicator lights and air filter are wrong on the ford tw25 gen 1 also the cab roof is wrong its a smooth dome not a flat one.

The Indicator stems are to long, the square lights should be round also the filter is not that type.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't the early gen 1s come out of the factory with round rear wheel weights fitted?

Cut the hedge this morning, and washed the car

I used to drive a 4100 at Ag College, great little Tractor and would go in anyone's collection.

8100 2wd what a machine

Many thanks Atte
