And I still have a lot of Britains items waiting to be placed in front of my camera lens. Very nice model I also have that in my collection as I was at Agritechnica 2013 and I would like to have the real one thanks for showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always a great bait cabin at dinner time when working away from the farmhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 thats what i thought mate, could only just have gone on when i saw it, most i see are well beyond any normal care, will have a proper look when it gets here . i am hoping the lift arms are ok, cant really tell, but the hunt will be on for some origonal spare parts now i suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 That's a lovely model Smithy, very, very nice. I'm guessing the wife was out when you took the photos, I tend to hide some of my larger buys until the time is right to confess, sure I'm not the only one!

b_emmons Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 My Weise Claas Xerion 4000 saddle Trac turned up today looks like rear upper linkage is broken so will have to repair it unless I can buy a spare, but I am going to build a sprayer to go on it as mine is a little small When not spraying hope to be able to fit a silage rake/pusher on the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view is to leave it as it is, it's a well played with, and loved, toy. Boxed ones are nice, but not even all of those are in mint condition in my experience. As per Smithy I've payed a lot more for similar condition ones, albeit pre ebay Replacement parts are readily available so you could replace those missing items. Rear wheel removal can be a bit tricky though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Go for it,I started scratch building one 3 / 4 years ago,just to run out of inspiration, no need to buy that extortionately priced 3D stuff,I made my tank out of a ferrero rocher box,and hand made the pump / pipeing,which is now available on the Holmer Terra Variant, the Ferrero box does need cutting down a wee bit,but dimensions are on that 3D site, Regards Joe.
