The real deal at the Doe show this year

So there is  . 

Interesting that they both have orange tipping levers too.  My blue early decal one has an orange lever, but I also have a blue one with the 'Tipping Trailer' deal which also has an orange lever.

They will both have land rover wheels/tyres then?

Hi

Finally got around to taking pictures of the ones I had in my workshop

Sonny

I spy an early decal, well the remains of one 

Very interesting tractors in the auction. The 4000 with Lambourne cab has a US style grill and lights. The Farmhand loader looks to be twisted and I think the Cotil tractor was adapted by Colchester Tillage, an offshoot of Does.

Anybody have any idea on prices achieved in the auction?

Prices will most likely appear in Tractor and Machinery at some point..........next issue perhaps

Last few

Ford 5095

Reverse drive Major forklift. Why would it have lights in the grill?

Not a lot of room in these modular cabs, the pedals are quite high of off the floor and there does not seem to be enough room to put your feet anywhere, I know 'cause I tried it

Sorry Bill, there were only a few IH and Farmalls there and I don't seem to have any photos of them  [

One unusual piece of kit that I forgot to post earlier was an old swath turner

Sorry, but its not a swath turner, its an early powered muck spreader. The muck was carted out to the field and left in piles every so often. This was hitched up and connected to the PTO and then driven over the heaps where it was spread by the rotating blades at the back 

No need to appologise I sometimes miss comments, the 8830 is a rare version of the Powerfarm and therefore worth more, the only difference is the bonnet decal, but as in the case of the Deutz Allis and the MF 590 also the american milk tanker, a sticker can make a huge amount of difference to the value of the model.

Not forgeting the Heston Fiat. Boxes are everything here, I believe, as some are too easy to fake 

The Real milk tanker not so easy as you need a chrome or silver tank

Wings look good, what year? is there a serial number/plate?

update  on this

no its not ben, just recevied my yellow mf200 decaled trailer, and the wheels are different to, think it looks a different shade of yellow to ,will get some pictures tommorrow so you can see

I have seen a few of these and all have the MF200 sticker stuck over the Autoway sticker, what is your one like? There is also a yellow trailer in a gift set with the first version JCB Fastrac.

Control lever

The two pipes with silver coloured ends are where the dozer ram supply/return pipework would be connected.

I will have to check the location/destination for the other two pipes as seen in top picture, too dark now 

Nearside bracket. Rear fixings pick up on the four nuts and bolts that secure the front axle support to the side bearer plates.

The front part of the bracket is secured by studs and nuts to the four taped holes in the tombstone casting. The rear two being recessed to allow for clearance of the ram

You can just see the two rear fixings on the tombstone to the right of the ram (below) The triangle of nuts/studs are where the side bearer plate is bolted to the front end of the sump. The hole below this is the pin hole for the back part of the dozer blade, to hinge on. It is slightly proud of the surrounding metal.

The rear part of the bracket overlaps the front part as can just be seen here (below) and also in picture above, to right of ram.

Overlapping and recessed studs/nuts behind ram

Overlapping, viewed from above

Controls. Pipe work connected to this at moment have nothing to do with the blade as they head to the back of the tractor and have quick couplings attached to the ends

In this picture (below)you can just about see the hoses from the mounting bracket, below the grey area. I do not know which way round they are supposed to be connected. It may not even matter.

Not very tidy around the front 

Offside bracket first. This has the hydraulic distribution block mounted to it.

 

      They remain a useful reference as far as they go (particularly for implements), but David Pullens books have rather taken over as far as tractor variations go.

Your too modest, David Pullens books are by no means exhaustive, as far as variations go.

I have all four. Good reference material, where else has anyone seen/shown the Vicon OEM promo material, to name but one item found within. Well worth buying.

Does anyone else have the small publication, BRITAINS MODEL TRACTORS & IMPLEMENTS, by David M Bate from 1982?

Not a great picture, below, but does give you some idea of the blade construction, I think. Oh and it's upside down again 

Tractor bracket and ram, nearside

Tractor bracket and ram, offside

Can do more and better pictures of tractor brackets, with any dimensions you require, as this is in my front garden at the mo'    To follow............................

I should imagine that the tractor bracket for the four cylinder models was/is very similar

Some pictures of blade. Sorry no dimensions as not in my front garden, but there is a golf ball stuck between two pieces of metal on the cross bracing of the frame, last picture of this bunch, to give you some idea of the physical size. This was fitted to a 1124

Underside from left

View of left side. The rectangular plate attached to side of blade is not part of the original dozer blade

Pin that holds blade to frame. I do not think that the blade can be adjusted/tilted from side to side as there are no more holes for pins to go in to allow any adjustment

Two more to follow...............

Not made by Dennis but produced by his business partner, I believe, and relatively new

Two versions of this with either a K series (Lambourne?) or a Duncan cab. I have the latter version.

Its G & B Models.

Have to correct you there powerrabbit, very early 135's had a fully glazed cab and no "lump" on the offside mudguard, as used on the industrial loader version to hold the loader in the raised position
