She looks good Am i right in saying they were basicly a 85 series tractor but with the 844 xl or 856 xl transmission fitted ? Thanks Nigel, yes, slowly working up to an IH 885XL 4wd, probably still my all time favourite tractor, it's sat part done at the moment, but then so are a lot of others! The 42 series were basically a refresh of the 95 series, which itself was just a warmed over 85 series. The transmission and back end was basically the same throughout, but on the 42's the gear levers were moved to the right hand side of the cab onto a new console which looked more Maxxum like. (I've done that on this one, but you can't really tell in the pictures). The 4230 was basically an 885/895, the 4240 was turbo'd like the 995, but none had as heavy a back end as the European built models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Great looking pair there John, although it looks to be a little muddy? that's not like you one bit...you'd normally have the pressure washer out now cleaning her off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collected a bucket of dust from the top of the power harrow before it was washed (which at the time caused much bemusement) but it does come in handy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted April 26, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2021 There's not been much time for models this past month, but things are starting to quieten down a bit now, so I've been able to get back to the cutting mat for an hour or two. Whilst waiting for the decals for the Leylands I've got a batch of Case's and IH's to finish, so a bit of progress on the Case IH 685 loader tractor. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
