bit of chassis colour on, plus piping on the front linkage, have a spare set of rear arches widened and painted, but am waiting to see what they look like first before i commit to using them, not sure the paints taken that well at the min, may need to be taken back to base again ,we will see

wonder if replicagri will do a normal version in the future or go up to say a 525 or similar?

bugger looks like a fresh coat of paints required, plus another trip to the dealer, picked up the chassis paint yesterday,and totaly forgot to ask if they had that in 😡

so does it look any different to the origonal silver mist then hugh?? just done the 3690 wheels in sapphire grey, so it looks like a respray now .

wonder who that could be😂😂😂 didnt realise they had been out now, seems a long time ago now that i dragged you across the hall at zwolle and said “look mike” 😂😂😂you jaw hit the floor just like davids did first time he went with us 😂😂😂😂😂

finally got the antares then mike , just those explorers was it we saw left now

has anyone come across a mf wheel /cab colour called “new silver mist” before ?? just been checking on the part number on the official mf parts page to get my chassis paint for the 3690 and noticed that according to them, the wheels on a 3690 are this colour , in-fact it seems lists most (not all) of the 3000 series as this , not as every one seems to use sapphire grey. it has a different part no to silver mist and sapphire grey so i am guessing it is different in some way .

front grill sorted and fitted,bar lights, and some colour on the rims on the big girl. would have done the chassis as well in the right colour, but it seems my can of grey has either gone off, or lost its gas as it wont spray, so need to get a fresh one on my travels this week also got some orange on the howard rotavator, just got to find decals

have said that on all of them ,i can only asume that the one meassured up was some euro one,as i have never seen an exhaust on the right as you look down the bonnet from the seat ,all are on the left with the pre cleaner ,,i guess massey must have signed it off ,that or the press guys are all so young they dont know what a mf 2000 series actually is

just back from london after 3 days up there with the grandkids, gave thema real walking about few days, after doing harry potter world saturday afternoon once we got up there( they didnt know about that) done the london eye, did Matilda the musical show on sunday, loads of walking round showing them the sights, managed to get them in the lego shop after sweet talking the security gaurd 5 mins before they closed last night ,as every time we went past there was a good 1 hr queue to get in, told him we were going back at 7 today and they both gave him their best sad looking faces,bosh in we went 😂😂😂😂

Pre cleaners way to big bowl wise and still got that bloody exhaust on the wrong side . As for the arch extensions , that must be a euro thing as i have never seen a uk plated 2000 series with those extensions fitted , only on the later big 3600’s

Its more luck than the tractor by a long way . He was very clearly floating the rear end most of the way and solely relying on the front axels 4wd drive to get through by the way the rears were churning the water up. Truth be known the only thing that got him through was that front weight box keeping the front down

So hows he done that then? I was under the impression that road had been closed by the council a good 6-8 months ago . Hence why all the videos on youtube stopped of the cars and stuff going through it. Which means he's a clown trying it and he's also gone through a road closure so broken the law as well

thats pretty late to fall through mike,does it effect where your moving to in any way ,are they ok to wait ,as for the models i would say leave them boxed,like you say fixing them aint your greatest skill if you should break more unboxing, then re boxing

as long as its a proper model, not one of their very very expensive resin ones ,i could be tempted.

the proper rear wheels for the 3690 ,with a few other bits along with the decals arrived this week , hopefully get back to it soon,am away this weekend in london

going to be a new builders yard next to old ford farm sometime mark 😆😆😆😆😆

i have heard of these but never seen one in the flesh, looks great so far.my uncle helped restore a real sherman a few years back,did a lot of work making new parts in the workshop,as hes a trained turner\ fitter, his company assisted letting them use the workshop with the overhead cranes ect. they took it over to normandy for one of the d-day anniversary's

not long home from work, after my 4am start, should have been a lot earlier as all went well i thought, until we discovered that one end of the cable had been crossed by a greenhorn jointer, sadly he got 3 elements crossed ,leaving 20 odd high grade ccts off, queue a lot of panicking jointers and me trying to sort the mess, luckily it was easy to spot as only two joints both with just the 2 cables ,way better to sort than if it was a multi cable joint

Cant get to toytrac on sunday now, been asked/told i need to work on a repayments job down in cornwall , part of the A30 rebuild. The guy who was meant to be doing it cant now as his daughters come down with covid and his wifes on shift at the hospital. This is the 3rd time i have been caught and it’s the same guy on the same job on earlier phases as well. He's already said he needs xmas off , when the last bits due weirdly but now its payback as so do i , and he owes me big time now, even the boss agrees with me

interesting,got 3 sat in the boxes in the loft ,could be tempted to part with one some time

a company came to tuckewells in suffolk several years ago and measured up a 6910 that was traded in part exchange , totally origonal, which must be rare now . only company doing 10 series jd is schuco . uncle has worked for tuckwells for 40 years odd now so i tend to trust him. origonal tractors, where ever they are are dam hard to find now un molested and altered . and thats what was pictured and measured ,1 owner from news sold by them . at the time no brand was mentioned, but who knows,afterall whos done the done 6200 and 6300 loader , and aslo done the 7710/7810 ,half the parts are already ready bar chassis

i would like to see a schuco 6810/6910 appear ,after all they did measure up one at tuckwells a few years back, and its been mentioned a good few times as well

how much are they going for now zac ?

i have seen one of them northrops before, from memory at a toytrac years ago, may well have been at farmer giles old place, dont recal who did them mind, not really my thing brand wise
