9524 ford 6600 was deleted end of 1981

9420 Green or Brown  6600 was released in 1982. Green version shown in '82 catalogue and Brown version in '83 catalogue for same part number, presumably shared. I think earlier versions, probably pre '85, have solid/filled in rear wheels, later versions where open/slotted as per the Ford 6600 model with scraper/roll bar

9516 Ford 6600 with roll bar and yard scraper released in 1985

All were deleted end of 1985 and replaced by the MF 595 versions, of either cheap tractor or with roll bar and yard scraper, in 1986 with new catalogue numbers before being deleted end of 1988.

The green and brown 6600 would only have been available for 1985 with roll bar attachment holes, so correspondingly less common. 

JMD on here has a boxed sample copy of one of these, less holes I believe. there are pictures on here somewhere

Thank you, that was very informative.

So I assume the green 6600 with holes for a roll bar might not be rare but is unusual

You are right about them being cheap (the coloured models) when first put on sale and there are plenty about without the holes.

It's specifically the ones with the holes for a roll bar that I'm asking about

Thanks for that. I've seen lots of the "coloured" 6600's, especially the green, but this is the first one I've seen with the holes for a rollbar

Is the green Ford 6600 with (production) holes for roll bar a rarity.

I've just found one and have never seen another

Thanks.

Spoke too soon there's only the wing mirrors and not the door mirrors. Unfortunately, I need both

Once again this has probably been asked and answered a thousand times but, does anyone sell replacement wing and door mirrors for Britains Land Rovers.

I've seen some on eBay Italy but the charges are enormous.

In these days of 3D printers, is there anyone doing reproductions. I'm certain that they would sell well

those normally just pull off as you pull the wheel, they are a plastic, and just push in. used on the later massey 6140/80 chassis, the new hollands (6635 and tm’s ) chassis like that, also some of the late tw fords/the 5610 with big wheels .  maybe someone has super glued them in ,as they did used to get a bit loose if removed a few times, never had any stuck in my experience so far, just pulled out  with the wheel , 

They are definitely not plastic, they appear to be a die cast material.

As you might be able to see in the photo. Where the paint has come off they are silver in colour underneath and, might I add, just a bit sharp.

I'm talking about Britains' and the newer models which don't have an axle. I've employed the grip and twist technique for many years on the models that do have an axle.

The central hub is metal and seems to be a rivet of sorts. Obviously, without this hub, the wheel then isn't as useful.

As can be seen in the photo attached, I've tried gripping it in a pair of pliers but only end up chewing up the paintwork.

When the model is split in half it might be possible to drill it out from the inside but, this is what I'm trying to avoid.

I'm sure that this has been asked many times but, I can't find the info.

I have broken up a very distressed New Holland TM 160. The only good thing about it is the wheels and hubs.

Apart from drilling out the hubs, is there way to easily remove the wheels, preferably without damaging them
