Hoss Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Evening all, I'm trying to track down a Chestnut minitures Massey Ferguson 510 combine but having no luck at all. Would be grateful for any information leading to one !! ha ha!. Have scaled the internet but I guess everyone must holding on to them. Did hear a year or so ago that they had some more unbuilt kits that might be built & released but nothing since. Thanks . H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You and me both Hoss. I have been looking for ages but to no avail. It will be interesting to see what turns up through these postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just realised I've posted this in wrong topic !! Oh dear. How are you Chris ? Glad to hear all is safely gathered in your way, we still got bit to go yet ! . Kick myself for not getting one when released, had couple chances at Spalding show. Spent hours & hours riding with my Dad on those ole things as a teenager at Littlebury North Essex, had 2 x 510's & a 515. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to run a 510 when I was a lad here on this farm, never drove it but the 525 that replaced it was the first combine I ever drove. Can't believe that a main stream maker hasn't been interested in producing these machines in model form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have one, but sadly its not for sale, to the best of my knowledge myself and marky (lord ferguson) had the last two he was going to make , direct from the man himself . I have no 124 and marky no 125, at the time the moulds etc he used had run out ,so ours were made of a various parts left, even then we had to wait 6 months after he agreed to do them.

Tractorman810 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 whens the next list of lots due up andy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I suspect the 510 will make top money. I will kick things off and say it will make £500 . Whoever buys it could take the measurements and get themselves a 3d printer and nock out some duplicates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have a feeling jdc has a complete set from chestnut, its certainly not a model you see about very often for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 They were quite pricey I seem to recall, around £250? Not the sort of thing to be bought on spec so probably bought for keeps. You never know though...I would agree that something like a 525 would be very popular, odd it's been overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I remember him getting the 2 x mf versions (bagger and tanked ) one year at spalding and saying he had them all now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 When it comes to Britains - I would think for a lot of us on here as kids, MF 760's were prominent features in our carpet farms, so why not a more up do date/detailed version of that classic? Sorry doesn't help Hoss in his quest though - maybe put a wanted ad in Classic Tractor, and see where that gets you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
