NewHolland2 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 No sale then yet Mart Any tyrekickers or prospective buyers around with you There has been a few......Most I've been offered so far is ?700 but I'd like to see it go a bit higher yet...... \ I'm currently counting coins though and depending on what the outcome is and depending on how much I can reel in in the next 3-4 months she may end up staying, although I doubt it as I don't really want the cost of tyres on my hands......

NewHolland2 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Keep her Mart.... you'll be able to afford new tyres at some stage mate I'm going to see if it's possible now......Although even selling her, it would give me an extra minimum of ?700 to spend...... \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Well just to give an update on my old girl......She is currently still languishing outside the house with her engine all covered over however sitting there over the course of the Winter hasn't done my painting any favours as I expected so there are a few bits needing touched up......She still won't be receiving a new set of boots yet unless I can find some free ones...... However for this Winter I'm going to try to get her inside at the farm where I work as hopefully the Butler Lamps will be fitted by then...... Hopefully I'll get a video on Youtube for you all to view of her tootling about soon...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 that will be gr8 to get her in side Mart :) look forward to you and her in action Cheers Mark......It will certainly make one heck of a difference to her condition and make any work I want to do easier......I don't mind her sitting outside in Summer but the Winter can wreak havoc with all my efforts...... \ \ ;) That would be really great Mart... I look forward to that... those lamps STILL not fitted... TUT TUT :D - I guess you have been busy working for a living... so we'll let you off... for now Cheers Marky......I seem to have been meaning to do it for ages but it's still a job that's in the back of my mind so it will no doubt be done later rather than sooner...... Will try and get the video over the next week or so if I get a chance to get her going...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well I am pleased to announce that after two months of non-moving I took her out for a spin (no-one was around to video it :'() and she started first time and sounded excellent so she's still working as well as ever...... Now in traditional SuperMart style the lights still aren't fitted due to a lack of spare time......We'll get there one day though...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britainswomble Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Thanks for the link John......Not a bad looking machine is she...... A wee bit steep price wise I think for what she is but still would be a nice buy...... :) It's probably only got a few hundred hours on the clock if it's ex M.O.D. Some of the kit they buy hardly ever gets used. My Albion ex army tipper, according to the Albion archive was built in 1953 and as far as they know, it was only ever used during the Suez crisis in 1956. It was used in a quarry for about fifteen years, and even now only has 36,000 miles on the clock. P.S. the speedo is still working to this day.

The low hours might explain the higher price then......Thanks for the information...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
