No Chris mate, they have decided that the deere is beyond repair and it would be a waste of time and money trying to fix it. They are greasing the ford.

It's a scratch build by a German guy who's name escapes me, I have all the real brochure for it, it was for the South American sugar cane job from memory, lifting huge bundles of cane onto transport. I'll dig the brochure out and put it on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Some great models you have Charlie, Thanks for sharing them though am i right in thinking the Wilder Pressure Harrow was scratch built by a bloke called Keith Paice? i picked one up identical to yours off him at Toytrac about 10 years ago for good and missed mate Phil Hairsine that then travelled from East Yorkshire to Dumfries and Galloway to join the fantastic collection of the sadly missed Kenny Beeton.

watermill Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Morning Pete, Paul, Thank you for your comments, sadly I don't have the skill or time to build such lovely items, I wish could, it was an eBay find so I'm not sure who made it. its a great item, well made. If its identical to yours Paul it must have been made by Keith Paice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cracker Gary, one of my favourite models is the Britains 7710, pure nostalgia. Nice to see the more accurate 7710 of MFM now though!

watermill Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Couple of old trade boxes. The new tomy trade boxes don't quite have the same charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Lovely old trade boxes Charlie, It's hard to resist the temptation to open the sealed ones. I like the Britains mechanics, I've managed to get ones with their accessories, spanner, torch etc. Your Ford 7700 is really superb, a great item to add to your wonderful collection.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Fantastic custom builds. Especially the Horsch. I remember when they brought over the only Horsch K735 artic tractor based on a Kirovets over here in the mid '90s. A contractor called Scribeland ran it for a while. Would love one of those in 1/32nd scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
