That nice new wee trailer sort of makes the 240 look a bit dull........... : whoaaaaaaaaaaaa there john , in one fell swoop not only have you just reduced our shy & retireing , reserved & inward, neigh & i say neigh again for our slightly awkward freind mark to tears & it's so sad to see the tears running down his cheek & snot running from his nose as he snivvels his way to his piggy bank only to realise he has to save for nearly a whole week before he decides to get the 240 completely refurbished .

jdc Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Brilliant! My first post for months and got LF, MJB and TM810 in one go I was merely stating what everybody including Bill must've thought but were too afraid of the monstrous power the Lord of the Fergusons can wield on this forum - apart from that I do like shiny red paint. (Like the trailer) ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 :D - Oh John... you are such a blooming trouble maker... :D I must admit... I'm a fan of the shiny red paint too I think she'll have ot be done at some stage.. perhaps when I retire \ :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Maybe John and me could give the trailer a makeover a nice weathered ( used and abused ) look. All we would need is some red oxide paint and a spray gun and Bob's your uncle....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well yes but strictly would not be legal since they are registerd as recovery vehicles and well the trailer isn't exactly broken down. Having said that I could have saved on accommodation ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Pure guess, what about a Marshal 132 which was a re badged IMT and therefore a rebadged, rebaged Massey. If it is its mega rare. (Sorry Mark) I didn't see the photo you attached untill just now AIS but it isn't a 132 now, it still looks Massey-fide in panels and grill.

Lord Ferguson Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 well... I've been having a 'me day' today.. I took Mavis to my local dealers to have some new wheel rims (that I bought at a recent Cheffins sale) fitted... Here she is... little and large... Mavis is the one in front by the way... and here she is on the way home (note the new rear wheel rims)... I just need to paint them now... Had new tubes as well by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Boy Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Looks good Marky But what was wrong with the old ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Looks good Marky But what was wrong with the old ones? three things really mate.... 1. They were odd sizes... one for a 10" tyre... and the other for a 12" tyre... 2. They are from a 135 and a 35... both of which are the wrong wheels for a 240.. the rim bolts have the heads on the outside of a 240... nuts on the outside of a 35/135 you see... it really wound me up 3. One of them had a slow.. the tubes were both shot you see Cerin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 nice pics mark , you say new rims but it looks like a complete new wheel to me ? lloks funny from a time when grey fergies /35/& 135 would be the farms main tractor , compared to the new flagship ! in a space of what 58 years from the launch of the first grey fergie ?
