Andy Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 These were picked up at Spalding. Quite rare pieces to find in boxes. I am not 100% sure but I believe they were only available through OEM dealers. The Baler is larger scale than the combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eicher3108 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 These models where very rare and expensive, and then especially the combine, it's a New Holland Clayson 1540 or 1545. They where very breakable, so that's the reason they where rare. Here in Holland we pay between 300 and 400,- euro for it. The scale is about 1/36, and I looking still fore a payable one.

jakescot Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ive missed this topic, .......................... all I can add is now I see this , I remember seeing them in the dealers,with no way I could afford them,not that I can remember exactly how much they were,so didnt think anything more of them. They must have been a lot more than pocket money amount however. nice to see them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 aH! you're missing the main PTO shaft like mine, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Those are very nice indeed. Certainly very rare, and as you say Andy, they were promotional models available only from New Holland dealers. If I remember correctly, I think they were made by Bourbon? The combine is based on the Clayson 1550 from the mid 1970's. The 1550 and 1540 were the only two combines in the range that had that shape of grain tank/engine bay side panels. The 1520, 1530 and 1545 had flat side panels. I have a vague memory that there was another version of the combine with a 'Clayson' decal on the tank sides instead of 'New Holland', but I may be wrong? Maybe someone else could confirm? I have only ever seen one - it was for sale on G&M's table at Spalding in 1989 for £125 unboxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 aH! you're missing the main PTO shaft like mine, I think Dad had an unboxed one with the PTO shaft but sold it at Spalding a few years back before really knowing what it was. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
