Cheers guys. I`ve not been on much lately but I`ll catch up soon.

Well, that is simply a great model. I look forward to your future creations.

Is that you turning Green with envy Sean?

I have a few reds also. One of yours in my collection too

Cheers Pete

Yes. I can say the joining up is a tricky job. I`ve pinned mine together so will not come apart Took me 5 attempts to get it right \

Well worth the effort for the finished model though

This little girl is coming to an end. I`ll get the finishing touches done one day soon.

3350 is much to big I would have thought

A good bit of chopping and you`ll get there.

I presume one of these models resembles your old one?

It's a bale shredder, there was a couple on the USA ebay the other week

I stole these pictures off another site this prototype is working somewhere in my state

Bit of an ugly bugger if you ask me

Quite a few outside changes from the old version.

Thank you very much.  [ [ I just do the best I can.

Tidy wee tractor there.

Tidy. I have a 6600 on the bench at the moment.

I am in no way criticizing Grahams work, far from it in fact and I object to people insinuating such. I am just pointing out the small but important details that were not correct for the tractor when new. I could also say that the front of the bonnet is not correct for a 3130, a 4020 bonnet is not the same as an early 3130 BUT it is close enough to represent the 3130. The bonnet design changed in 1975, so no way was a yellow roof 1979 "shark nose" 3130 sold as new in 1979 period! As I said after 35 years a tractor is unlikely to be 100 % original. I have seen 30 series with yellow roofs BUT they are replacement roofs. Likewise incorrect decals are from replacement items incorrectly fitted. I'm just trying to help people get the correct information, if no one want's to listen then fine, it's their loss, not mine.

Don`t worry Eurodeere. I`m listening to you. I can only go on what I have been told and what I have seen. I will question the owners of the tractors sometime soon.

Thanks for the advice and I look forward to more from you in the future.

The decal is wrong. I did`nt have the right one. I will forward the right one when I get it. As for the yellow roof, I know of two with a yellow roof and they were bought that way in 1979 brand new. I will try and get some pics of them when I next see them.

I do try and research my conversions a lot and I appreciate all comments. It helps getting things right.

very nice indeed just one question did the yellow cabs not come on the later 40 series with opu as the one my uncle had when i was a kid had a green roof

No. They came on this series also.

Look after it my boy. It will put all those reds to shame

Thanks for the comments Guys.

Sadly, I`m struggling to do them now with my hands. I`m hoping to carry on but It is taking me so long, it`s not worth doing them. I have a few fords to do for myself and then I`ll see what the health allows.

Anybody like it?

Pics don`t do it justice

:D - well I thought it was a fact until recently mark too  - so perhaps I should join the JD massive tiny as well  \ :D

We would`nt let you in

Great work so far Mark. 

For a bargain £5 I've got a Britains MF595 in very good nick and all original (just the roof top missing). Trouble is I think it might be too good to pull apart for what I had in mind \

Pull it apart. If you don`t, I will

Set her up right and slow down. Failing that, buy an auto reset.

We talking about girls tractors or men's beause on the man's side you won't beat a Case 956/1056  ;) ;) end of story  :

I`ll agree with you there Simon

looking great, graeme has a pile of bits i sent him a while ago to make one of those

I will get it finished 

Well what a little beauty you have made Pete.

I hav`nt been on much so I`m slowly catching up on topics and what a topic to start with.

Who were the winners or is the a link to the results.

The world reversible ploughing champion lives about 8 miles from me Andrew Mitchell SNR his son Andrew Mitchell JNR competes in the conventional plough contest and think finished 6 in the worlds.

Here is a results link

My mates step Father won it using his dexta. I don`t know what categories they have for ploughing so if he won overall or just vintage I can`t say but he is well chuffed. I think this is the second time he has won.
