Rhysmassey135 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 to keep the fire under control before the fire brigade finally arrived, they filled up the 2300 gallon tanker with water and sprayed the whole shed, and then they dragged the 7610 out of the burning shed with the new holland handler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhysmassey135 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 the handler dragging the 7610 away from the shed, all the rubber seals had melted so it poured oil out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhysmassey135 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 after they put it down and the fire was put out, they knocked down the shed and are halfway through putting in a new dairy and cubicle shed , they look back at the 7610 now and laugh about it, saying it was a restoration project for some unlucky sod but it was scrapped. all that survived on the tractor was the front left hand side wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
