This looks like a decal job on a 7000 bonnet only!!!!!!!!

  okay also front and wheel weights and back window

As TS135A said wrong exhaust and its in the wrong place as per the TFT 6600

This appears to be RC2 saving money, more like being cheapskates, by making one set of moulds do all versions. We have a thousand series bonnet and a 7A cab, which should have ribs on the roof and the mounting brackets on the gearbox (all versions). I think this may have been mentioned elsewhere, so sorry for that. Where are they getting their information/data from? not Ford I shouldn't think or old brochures. Looks like they are using a restored example that is not strictly accurate in not having the correct parts fitted during restoration.

Someone will shoot me down in flames if these cabs were introduced towards the end of the thousand series production, as it is quite possible, and I will walk out under the door feeling not very high 

What next a 4000, after all apart from the front axle mounting casting they are the same length bar 1" Yes I know they have a three pot motor as well 

Rant over, I will still buy one though

There used to be a pair of these parked in the corner of a field next to the M25 car park between J10 and J11 I think, but they disappeared a few years ago. Where were these taken, same place as the Scammel photos?

One of these in July issue of T&M, in the classifieds. It has different wheels/tyres on front and flat top wings.

Thankyou 

Did they also do a sideline in tents?

                  or

          sleepingbags?  :D ;D

Am I the only one getting a red cross in a box? 

Ditto

Ditto 

Ok, now I'm really confused. Mine was the New Performance Super Major, without lights on the rear wings and Grey Fordson Major style wheels on both the tractor and trailer..................Wierd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A nice return on these, to much for me though 

Toyed with having a go on the trailer, changed mind at last minute, a lot of money for a broken/damaged trailer.

It would have looked nice behind my cabbed one, but then there wouldn't be anywhere for the implement lift to go 

Hi britainswomble, I reckon that it would originally have come with 5000 style rear wheels, seeing as it has lights on the mudguards. I have a new performance version without rear lights on 5000 style wheels and one with the old super major decal, in red, with rear lights on the mudguards and 5000 style wheels .......the last version I think 

Not til the autumn I think, I'm pretty sure it's a 7060 though, and that the US dealer version is the 7050, with the US shelf edition being a 7040

What is the " US shelf edition " ? 

Spill the beans then!

OK you asked for it

Ready to cry :'(

?130  plus buyers premium

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  :'( :'( :'(

Getting back to the tractor, the rear axle does not look right when compared to any other major, looks more like a nail because one end is flat, like the head of a nail  and the other end crimped in the usual early britains style. Britains used a similar axle end to this, domed 

Sent a message to the seller about proof, he replied that he bought it at a Wallis and Wallis sale and that they listed it as a promotional item. I looked on their site and all it said was promotional item, have left them a message about this so hopefully they will get back to me. Found out what it went for too, with a load of other stuff, it will make you sick to know 

You could try Nigel Ford at Scaledown

Don't get me started on that one  :D

I buy these Mush locally... but I COULD buy Mushrooms for nearly half the price if I bought imported all the time.... The bloody government does NOTHING to help UK Fruit & Veg farmers 

I am on a quest this year to buy locally and sustainably... I now pay Waaaaaay over the odds for Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, Mushrooms, Potatoes (yes I can buy Majorican cheaper - work that out) 

The bloody government does NOTHING to help ANYONE

Ok, stupid question perhaps, to some, but what are they ballasted with, concrete or water?

Where do they store the two operators, in the barn?    :D ;D

I can now give you all the details about this trailer.

Third one:

As the second one but with white floor. 1973.

Hi PR, are you not reading my post re issue date?

Sorry super6 , [the pink box is marked up 9500 Farm cart.

The roller is 9503 and the mik float is 9504.

No worries '72  , thought I'd worked out why I cannot find a boxed cart on rubber tyres from the 950- series in that box style

Anyone else got a boxed one, in that style 

The green box with the spoked wheeled cart is a repro from steve flowers and is marked up 40f.The pictorial box with the rubber tyred cart on it is 126f and is the genuine box for the rubber tyred cart I have.Hope that all makes sense .

Hi 1972, not these ones but the plastic era ones from the 60's, the pink box with green cart body; cream chassis; red wheel centres and brown cob. 

This topic could go on and on.

I forgot I had these later models from the 1960s.

1972 I see you have a boxed cart on rubber tyres, 9502, is that the box it came in? as I have never come across a boxed example. I always assumed that it would come in a similar box with a picture of a cart with tyres on it! Does it have Farm cart 9502 on the end flap?

Hi PR

        Some nice models, good to see

        The small cart is 40F, the milkfloat is 45F. The cardboard base probably means it is prewar, your version is also fitted with the wheels more usually found on the farmers gig. Latter versions used the front, small, wheels from the 4 wheeled wagon or, as 126F, rubber tyres. Moving into the plastic era the numbers changed to the 950- series

Along with the cow alteration, the panels have also been seen in 3 different colours that I know of. The one you show in the pic, a light brown colour, and a dark grey colour.

I know of someone who has a couple of original tradeboxes of this model, deep up in their loft, a very good investment I would say! 

9568 first released in 1969 

Which panels Andy? more info please

Bases or bed, if you prefer, come as light and dark grey including the tail ramp; drop sides in blue and cratch sides in brown plastic all on a red chassis with early landrover style wheels/tyres.

The only surviving part of my childhood one is a rolling chassis and the cow  , I didn't know they came as a friesian as well, mine being brown and white. As regards no hole in the bases of cows, they were released in 1959; hole added in 1969 and deleated/replaced in 1970 

Nice, fast, work '72. Can you have a word with the driver, he's a bit clumsey with his steel toecapped boots and is taking the paint off of the inner wing  , dock him a few shillings  that'll learn him  ;D

Hello Steve,

a never seen Fordson collection. Congratulations. My heart will laugh. I have one question about a model from my collection, to a special Fordson Collector like you. In my collection I have a restored Fordson and an old rear dump. Is it possible that the Wheel centres at the rear dump are original? I saw the old Fordson style centres ever at the yellow industrials, but the blue dumper with the Ford style centres. Could you help?

Blueford

Are they plastic wheel centres?

Rubber tyre version. Yes the implement lift bar. Do they come up often? 

Occasionally seen on ebay, there have been a couple over the last few weeks, I missed them---------poor memory

I never saw it but then I don't look at the same time every day and also get a bit bord looking at the same old rubbish stuff, especially when I look at the last 2 days worth of new items as I've seen some of it already 

I see there is another Robilt item on there, boxed again
