ok mate have you a complete cab for a mf 2680/3680 by any chance?

Sorry no if i did i would be restoring a few my self- they are the most expensive repro part to buy after all - ?6.00 ea

You have a very fortunate grandson!! Would love a rumage through your odds and sodds, bet you keep alot of models going with all them spares. Any intact but not mint Howard Rotaspreaders?

Only have complete 2 mint powerfarm versions which i will be selling with my powerfarm tw35  soon on ebay- the incomplete ones have broken flails and missing tops.

They produce a nice cheap conversion when repainted and decaled for a different manufacturer, fetch good money too!!

I should take up the other guys offer!!!

masher do you have a mf590 bonnet with decals i can have ,will pay well mate

595 in orange only no decals - you can get repro ones though - im keeping my red one on my dual rear wheel version which i need better floorpan and a cab to complete 

Farmer    -  Yes

Powertstar - As far as i can remember no cabs or exhausts but otherwise complete with good plastics!

Deere-est - Just picked myself off the floor as i fell off the chair with laughter!

Small claas - I am quite a good converter, although only done 2 ,but lots of restorations - as i am not from farming background i am looking for conversion ideas,not to increase anybodies nett worth!!!

All joking aside lads im willing to consider swaps or sales of bits as i have loads of models i could resore , but my greatest joy is to enhance a model by converting & or superdetailing it. And hopefully growing the collection i have started for my Grandson at the same time.(He gets all my swaps currently  Ford 5000 Force and super major, 6600 cabbed & rollbar versions, Fordson DDN, etc + ever growing farm animal and figures collection.

Am looking forward to some serios carpet farming in my dotage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys got any ideas how i could best use my vast Britains spares collection

got the following in abundance:-

Renaults 

Valmets 805's

MF 590,2680,3680

Deutx 110's

Have two crates full of the stuff including trailers/combines/balers/ etc etc coming out of my ears!!

all in various states of disrepair!!!
