An Interested Spectator Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Found ths little beauty whilst out for a walk. Tucked in the back of a barn will a load of dead trucks. It was very difficult to get an angle for a decent picture. But i think you can see she still looks like theres a days work in her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 She's in bloody good nick too - That's the combines I served my apprenticeship on .... Ummmm brings back memories.. Lovely machine - crap by todays standards - but in her day she was the TOP of the tree.. spent many an hour riding around on one of those... prone to breaking a few parts... but generally a great reliable machine... Many thanks for posting those pics and making an old man happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
