Lord Ferguson Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Just for Old Ford, Steve and thingymore... Yes it's me posting a Ford - Met the man who makes these today - He has about 30-40 lined up ready to pain in his WELL equipped workshop - no scrimping on here either... even the steering works like the real tractor - most things scratch built as well... air cleaner... Rams... joint... the man is a genius... and just about the nicest chap I have EVER met - spent 2 hours chatting to him today - I'm posting some pics of his (and his wife's !) model shop later if I can stay awake that long... anyway here she is (they are... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Very nice, who made it Marky?? The mans name is Bill Richardson Jason... I will PM anyone his number if they want it - I did promise him and his wife I wouldn't post his addy or number on the forum as he looked a little aprehensive when I asked if I could post his pics on FTF - he has a fantastic workshop in his house and makes just about everything himself... wheels are from Brian Norman I did try to recruit him to FTF but he has no PC sadly - he's in his 70's so he's not keen on computing I'm sorry to say.

NIGEL FORD Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I've known Bill & Jean for 20 yrs or so. As mentioned in an earlier post of mine it were they that started the farm toy swapmeet scene soon after we met. I keep meaning to post pics of my DOE 130 I did about that time, I'll send them to NH2 to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
