Tractorman810 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 they seem a tad lighter ? maybe paul .that said they aint far off, in way better condition it must be said so maybe its just a storage thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Pretty much mint I reckon, not a mark on the ones I bought. Could you photograph them together for a comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 picked this one up xmas eve ,along with a second flat light grey chassis one , rather than a galvanised finish as per normal i have not seen these trailers on these wheels, all white chassis with what appear to be early ford wheels, all on a push on ael with metal ring spacers rather than springs / wire wrapping 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 can tell its getting harder as its been a while since i found anything different, had to pop out this morn, for the boss ,and whilst waiting/ wandering i notice a stall selling old toys, not really expecting to see any britains given everything was matchbox, i was amazed to see this tucked away in the corner for the princley sum of £1 , so had to have it, sure someone mentioned this in the book that lists all the modles up till 2000 , sure someone has it to confirm. frames deffinatly right as it matches my orange one, with notches in it,whilst all my other folding ones don’t red with silver tine front mounted cultivator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 finally managed to source one of the green tipper trailers, had to put a new tip lever in, but luckly the ram part was taped to the bottom and intact, also managed to remove the decals of the donor trailer, intact, so fitted them as well, just need to source a origonal silage top for it 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBC, at the time I didn’t even realise it was a rehash. Only as I learned more did I discover the old blue and red version which I have sourced relatively recently as one of the missing ones to my collection. I’ve never seen an old red and yellow though. I wonder what era that one was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 new lely arrived today , the ebay seller had it as red, but its actually muledozer orange,with blue plastics, not seen this before, just dark red/maroon frames with blue plastics, do have the frame though with yellow parts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 last of the blue wheeled bamford balers sourced ,picked yesterday from the sorting office .green framed version with the rubber band bale ejector method on the rear,tensioning handles and shute all intact ,as are the other ones i have, thats now all three chassis colours in both rear ejector systems. still undecided on the yellow wheeled ones, one as so far they all seem to be the later type wheels,and two,i have not seen that version in any sales catolouges before, . not sure if they appear in anything else though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 found this via a local facebook market place add last night, was in a job lot of corgi and cheapo cars and stuff, all for 10 quid, grandkids are having great fun with them, however i noticed this was tucked in the corner hence why i bought them .it was missing the ladders and jocky wheel otherwise all in one peice, black chassis green tipper, the body seems to be a darker shade of green than the others i have(will get some pics when i get in the loft to compair) and the tyres are the earlier soft dunlop branded ones .certainly not seen one like this before ,has anyone else 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 It appears to be a late chassis with the twist lock slot. and an early body with holes in the rear lugs from when these bodies where used on the truck chassis, pre and post war. I have a 1969 trailer, brand new to me, which has these holes filled in. A bitsa I reckon! Is it a matt finish? Are there paint chips where the body lands on the chassis? Does it have a narrow axle or are the wheels quite loose on the axle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 the chassis is a matt finish, has chips where the body sits. and on the tow eye ,nothing obvious showing under it, paint seems equal . had not noticed the twist lock pin i must confess, the wheels seem nice and tight ,and now you mention it the axels a bulbs end one,not a flat ended one like the tip one and tail gate one is , the more i look at it the more i think it may well be a bitsy one ,but the chassis is very well done if it has been repainted , i have tried in the past to strip the britains paint,when i did the fordson repaint and its dam hard to do, so someones gone to a fair bit of effort,that or its a real one just got the wrong body type on?
