CMB Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The more modern tippers are that shade I think, but never seen that casting with the white racks and jockey wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do the europeans seem to have the most interesting coloured Britains ha ha! Will keep an eye out for older tippers of that mossy shade as they're usually in that darker bluey-green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean, pretty sure all the boxes have the yellow hose on the photo, despite the model inside having a black hose, I have a couple packed away in the same box with black hose. I'm pretty sure that trolley is from the earlier version,( no 9547// i think) so the hose is probably off the same model at a guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 cheers jas, i wasn't 100% on it, i only bought the boxed one as i saw 1 unboxed at zwolle, and it was a bit more expensive than this, whats the differences with the trolly then ? its hard to see on the boxed one as the plastic distort it where they are moulded round it .

The trolly on yours is the same colour as the first version is, it should be the lighter colour the same as the trailer, I have an old version here at work and will post up a photo when I remember how.

JC Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I have been digging through some of my older models today and come across two variants of the older version, one with yellow hose and one with Black hose, (have a few of each type) You can see they both have the dark blue paint on the trolley @tractorman810 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 ah i see what you mean jas, thanks for the pics, i keep seeing some scrap ones with hoses intact and parts of the trolly ,will keep my eyes open for the right trolly and a black hose ,and swap them over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 had this arrive today, bought it xmas day on ebay , it went lower than i would have paid, have the dark blue one alreay,and was worried this may have been camera flash making it seem light, but its not, will get some more pics later, a ford blue salop animal trailer, held in by a metal key,amd has the reg btn90 on the ramp, also has the yellow plastic on the axels, which have on the early ones with tail lights on, the later maroon one and navy blue are both missing this part. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 couple of additions, first a vicon spreader, has a black frame, but red wheels and the normal farm style hopper, for the life of me cant think of anything other than the budget fords/mfs they did with these red hub narrow wheels, need to find a new metal arm mind 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 and finally i thought i had found all the obvious ones of these, bar decal swaps in the early green and blue ones, looks like its from the jcb set, like my other, but has white press on wheels, not the normal axels we see on these later style trailers, they are like the budget green deutz one i have 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 couple of new small tippers arrived this week, first an early one with silver chassis, all the axel ,tipper and tail gate rods are the flattened end versions, came with spring spaced orange fordson wheels. second a later version, with white chassis, the tipper axel is bent in a u shape and held in place under the wheel axel, this time with red wheel centres . just need to find a jockey wheel for this one . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Just received this, was/is missing markers, silver part from hopper and road transport wheels. Still after first two parts. Spout top thick red moulding is perfect, these tend to split where secured. This has silver wheel centres as per MF 135, not seen these before. Bought this trailer a while ago, looks good on this colour wheel centres methinks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 been quiet of late, but have picked these up, small tipper in the more olive green, with white wheels? and grey jockey wheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 also came across this, common enough colour but i don't recall ever seeing one with grey wheels as well, my others are brown on these ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I bought one of those at a toy fair. the poor lighting made the frame look red and not orange, the light of day proved otherwise! Ho hum. Also didn't notice the shorter depth adjusters, Doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
