    Tyres supplied by me. ...Incidentally your Power & Super Major kits here in early pictures are from my predecessor's era and feature "not so correct" parts that I soon altered when I took over 23 years ago.

    Thanks Nigel, as for the ‘not so correct parts’, sometimes ignorance is bliss...

    Hi Kieran, looking good what you've done. I can't speak for my predecessor and SCALEdown company founder the late Brian Parks but I guess he did the "A" as they had the same size tyres as the Allis B that was his first model tractor kit that he designed and built and tyre moulds made by spark-erodeing into steel blocks was very expensive in the early 80's and tyres were the stumbling block for making different models then.

    Thanks Nigel for your information, I suppose you have no plans to expand your Farmall range?

     

  3. Replicagri Farmall Model C

    A beautiful detailed model from Replicagri including different front wheel set and a driver.

    A big size difference between the A & C models.

    The one concern I have with the model is the seat looks to high for me.

    I am tempted to lower it.

  4. Farmall Model A

    I asked earlier if any of the Model A’s were send to Britain during WWII? I thought would be some IH historians out there but no so I had to do my own research.  I found that only Ford and David Brown built tractors in Britain during WWII and America’s ‘big 9’ shipped theirs from the USA including the Farmall A.

    Anyway Model A completed, painted and decals added.  A very unusual tractor with its wheel spacing giving what Farmall called ‘Cultivision’

    Interesting it got an orange grill, I’m fairly sure they were never sold with orange grills, although on the restoration scene it is very common, and actually looks smart. 
    not a criticism, just an observation 😉

    Could not find a colour photo from 1958 but the Fordson brochure shows an orange grill.
