Andy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Great find John. Don't think I have ever come across one. Is it the same shade as the Liliput Fordson in lighter blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 blimey been a while ,not for the lack of hunting mind, picked these two items up from the US of A between xmas and new year, primarily for this one jd chaffer from a couple of sets, don't see them that often ,so at $35 inc postage, i went for it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 the second item of the buy was this, now i assumed this was a respray, but now i have it,i have had a real good look,and i can not see its been apart, its got no signs of red paint under the blue where its chipped, and i have had a test underneath in a corner ,and same, blue comes of and bare metal under it. the rear part isnt bent ,a normal sign its been apart, the tank has no signs of red where it meets the metalwork,infact when you move the tank sideways its got blue dust/staining . sadly it came with one arm,which is broken, but after some hunting round i came across this set, so i guess it could be a real one, has any one else seen or got one? the origonal red ones seem to be doing well price wise of late,so i dont want to get one for the arms if its not pucker. certainly a new one on me ,bit like the green one i have 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I think you ansered your own question there Sean with the last picture. Someone on here posted a picture of that set with a blue sprayer. Have also heard of thm from another source, Brian Norman I think it was. A nice find. there is also a red version with beige arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 i know, but seeing others sort of helps paul, always have that niggle otherwise , am on the hunt for some arms. as for red and beige arms, thats a new one on me was that in a set or sold alone do you know . its a nice bonus mind as like i said i was only after the chaffer version primarily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 forgot to add this one, another roller variation ,orange frame with red roll ends, have two orange ones already,(slightly different shades) but both have yellow ends, not seen a red set before 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 either i am not looking hard enough or i am getting close to have all the items out there?. either way its getting hard to find stuff, but a new addition ,the lighter green claas tipper, with yellow hubs, original top and rear tailgate. have seen a few chassis/ bodies of this go though eBay ,but most are missing the top for sure, and usually the tailgate, so snapped this up quick when it appeared as buy now while on my mobile at work , prob would have missed it later on i suspect 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajo Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The tops on these don't last long ... I have had one from my youth and since the plastic got a bit crispy, it snapped in half in the blink of an eye while refitting years later ...

CMB Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Empire Blue I think they called it,used on the New (Power) Major in 1959 up to early versions of the New Performance Major in 1963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hielke Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I recently discovered a difference between two green and yellow Ford 6600s. Not only a slight colour difference. But also one seems to be made with the 6600 that was sold with the yardscraper (had holes for a rollbar) and the other misses the holes for the rollbar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 came across this on market place near by, not seen a green one with these decals fitted, only ones i can remember having these are the ford blue one and the deutz green set. the green doesnt seem as dark as the normal ones ? seems lighter ,but not the lime green that i already have , need to get in the loft and put them side by side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
