BRITAINSMAD Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I bought a couple of Davids book "Pocket Guide To Britains Model Tractors 1948 - 1998" last year and more recently, bought "Pocket Guide To Britains Model Tractors 1998 - 2008". Whilst browsing the internet this past week I have also noticed, and bought a book of a similar nature that accounts for all the Combines and Harvesters made by Britains however I was wondering just how many of these books have there been?? Have I got them all or are there still more out there for Implements etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Just the three books - the ones you have and the combine book. Though I wish there were more on implements - they are excellent books well worth the money in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be very interesting, I bet there are very few folks who really know the full extent of all the POS, catalogues etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 theres a few models not in the new book from ertl side of things but it might be down to the dates . the JD 6200 and 6400 are not in there and the JD 7820 with duals . but like i said it could be down to the dates of the book. a must have set of books if you are a collector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ertl 7820 only came out as a new version late last year - 2009. The book only covers up to the end of 2008 (hence the title "Pocket Guide to Britains .....Tractors 1998 - 2008" The two JD's you mention are not missing either as they never came within the scope of the book. David had to draw a line somewhere, and as the JD 6200 and 6400 were Ertl only issues, dating from before the takeover of Britains, and had never been issued as either a Britains or Ertl/Britains, they were not included.

ploughmaster Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have a version & have seen a few others of The New Holland small square baler that does not appear to be in the book . The difference concerns the " L " shapep peg at very rear of baler where the bale sledge is connected . There are versions where the peg is just a round peg with a rounded finish It could be a moulding change (if so, other people must have one I would think), or it could perhaps simply be a case of poor moulding - the plastic didn't make it all the way to the end of the mould. I have a Massey Ferguson 135 and loader on which the operating lever doesn't stick out of the back of the cab as far as it should (it's about 6mm shorter than usual), which has a similarly rounded end. Not having seen another like it, I put it down to an incomplete moulding. I will have a look at my balers sometime and report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar problem with my 135 as i could never use it for 3 pt linkage implements as the lug on one side was not formed properly so it only got used on trailer work when i was a kid.
