Tractorman810 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 popped into the local jd dealer while working outside there today, they always sold other brands of models but have now stopped that, just jd models, did come out with a wiking jd 7430 loader, sold as broken for £25, was informed the front axel was broken, but after a quick look it turns out the front wheel on one side hadnt been screwed on properly, quick shake of the detached wheel reveled the screw was still inside the hub so a swift payment was made, and a repair effected down the road in the back of the van, got me a bargin i thinks :laugh: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pleased I ended up with a Brian Norman 1200, it's a fantastic model, ever so slightly chunkier than the UH version. Very well put together and so much more desirable. Definitely a huge favourite of mine. As for the 7020....at last! Finally a full set of N.F.T.S tractors. I have since discovered there is a collector edition 7520 which looks like it's based on this model that i'm now very keen to find. I'll be honest I was convinced I had a complete set of G & B Roadless models too, until I noticed the different variation of 115 with Duncan cab fitted and rear wheel weights on Bazza's stand. Certainly wasn't leaving without it! Picked up my DBP models at the very end of the day. Absolutely delighted with them both. Quite fancy a County 1164 of Dave's next when I get saved up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've got several of those front loaders Robert, they fit quite a number of 1980's Britains tractors with very little or no modifications, looks especially good on the Britains Renault 155-45 and 145-14 as fitted to the real Renaults as they are Franchi loaders. Still have 3 to fit to something on day. The loaders I have came from Nathan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) This might not be the appropriate topic for this question but I didn't think it was worth opening a new topic for: Can anyone help me value an Ertl John Deere 8400 Precision series model and Cat Challenger 85E from Norscot. Both models are boxed and have only been displayed on a shelf. What do you guys reckon is a fair price for the pair? I have been offered both but don't know what they are worth. I don't want to pay top money for them. I was thinking £80/85 for the John Deere and £50 for the Challenger. I am also still looking for the Claas Challenger and Challenger MT765 from Norscot. Don't know if anyone has one he wants to sell? Edited April 28, 2013 by Niels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Neils the JD 8400 should make about £120-140 on ebay but the Cat is probably about right at £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 there was a few jd 8400 being sold at zwolle neils, and most seemed to be arround the 150 to 175 euro mark if thats any help one was up for 120 odd, but was missing the front weights i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks Mike and Sean! I saw those dear Johnnies at Zwolle yes. Did not see the €120 one sadly. Also saw them for 200-250... I picked up the 9400T new, boxed, from fellow forum member Bas (Texas) for €125 iirc and hope I get get the 8400 for no less but do want to offer a fair price. We'll see what he comes up with!
