Paul Palmer Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 this is when they changed the roof,with this range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I think the very last of the early Tm's (150,165 etc) had a black chassis. when the new range was introduced (155, 175, 190) they were all black chassis machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Do you have joes link i dont see it there??

bluegreen Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 They also changed the colour blue on the TMs back in summer 2000 on the x reg machines. I remember a big NH user locally had 6 new TM150s delivered in september 2000 and half were in old dull blue (like 8560 model) and the others in todays very vivid lighter blue Looks like you will need a re spray for authenticity and then the front lights and logo plus decals were all changed in 2002 as well I think.

Paul Palmer Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 this is going way off topic,which is my fault,could a moderator move it to real farm stuff,just to clear it up,first tm's 1999-2002,grey chassis and wheel centres/hubs,near end of run,black chassis and wheel centres/hubs then 2002-2007 new roofs and new black and white bonnet decals ,just dont know when the yellow decals came in,2004?,just googled, yellow bonnet decals 2004 also bluegreen if farmer had 6 tms and half were the new blue,that means the other half were the same as what the 60 series were? is that right,will check with a new holland dealer tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I knew they changed the roof design/shape of the latter TM's, but does anyone have a picture of a real one, from above, showing the outline and the moulding/panel lines on the top? its not the same as the 70 series roof is it, more rounded.

Deere-est Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 No the 70 series was different again, deeper profile with front and rear recess's where the worklights are. Tommy knows his stuff. The last two years of white lettered TM's had a black chassis. When they went to the curve decal the roof cap changed and the black chassis carried on. Then the decal changed again later to include yellow and blue 'swoosh'. The blue change was from Ford Tractor Blue - pre 2000 and New Holland Tractor Blue - post 2000 I think. Could be 1999 though. Here are some shots of the roof anyway, from my 2003 American harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Tris, this a 70 series tractor? If not then the cab roof is the same when compared to a brochure picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yes it's an 86 I think. Cab top looks the same but if you look at these front and back shots there are slight differences. Here is the 2004 TM155 I drove (black and white decal). Below is a link to some 70 series images on Google image.

On old new hollands like that you can also move the steps up to stop them getting bent. Did you do that as well Tris? Oh, and you can never have enough arials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah that's right Tommy and Paul. Stops the grass piling up behind them and getting dragged off. The chap who owns the tractor has radio, CB, hands free . .. not to mention all the beacons! :laugh: Yeah the steps are slid up too Tommy.

Tommy Gough Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I wondered if they would be as the contractor that does our silage uses a TM140 with a loader and he always slides them up. Theres normally a moment when your foot reaches fresh air as your not used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
