  1. No problem, he was a design engineer with them in the late 70s until the early 80s. Initially he was working on backhoes, then got transferred to working on the tractors.
  2. Again, awesome work! Good to see an 84 series, another one Dad had (re)design input on.
  3. So much IH goodness! Quality work there.
  4. Went to the Newport show, had the dog on her lead so taking photos was a bit difficult. Did get these though.
  5. Nice bit of kit, all the advantages of a round baler, without the huge bales
  6. Could you try the tooth paste polishing technique to take out the scratches in the glass?
  7. Between interviews, put this together. Planning to paint it an orange colour. It's close to the one my wife's uncle has, but not exact. I'll take close enough.
  8. Thanks, hopefully once the money starts coming in again I can get the cab fixed up and get the glazing back in, along with a metal roof. The canvas one holds water and chucks it in your lap when you start without the windscreen.
  9. Just had my trusty steed delivered to the new place. If only I hadn't lost my job on the day we moved I might have some money to buy the bits I need for the lights and a new exhaust.
  10. Slightly more exciting than what Dad got for 40 years of IH in Donnie😁
  11. Might work, give talcuum powder a try too. It'll was off if it doesn't have the desired effect.
  12. Heading off to Cambers shortly to try and finally get some connectors for the outside taps. Think they are old imperial threads about 1 1/4" in diameter so no hozelock works with them. Going to have to make up adapters but so far the only connectors that fit are for 25mm hoses.
  13. It's oils coming out of the rubber. There are some sprays that work to stop this on softer rubber like latex, but not sure for harder compounds.
  14. That's awesome! Just been looking at photos of the real things (we need something to manage the stream here). Boy did the cabs on those rot badly.
  15. Camera seems to have gone into an odd mode - but some pics from the windrowing and baling today on a few of our fields. But first off, dog vs bale! My wife's dog didn't know what to make of these big black, round interlopers in his field! Camera
  16. Our neighbour cutting the top paddocks today.
  17. They have been silaging the big field next to one of ours, so shuttling up the lane and back were an MF and Valtra with the wagons and a Class Jaguar doing the cutting. No photos and didn't see which models they were. If they come back this week, I'll lean out of the window and get a photo 😁
  18. Bits of it looked it better condition than my still in use tractor.
  19. Found this old Nuffield in the play area of a local farm shop.
  20. Those all look nice, tempted by the green too!
  21. Picked this up in a local antique shop, not a scale model but something historic.
