Different cab on the 135 in the sale David can't say ive seen one like that before

Likewise John, first time i've photographed a cab like that on a 135, wish i'd taken more notice of the makers plate on it too, as I can't recall who manufactured it.

That would be great Sean, thank you. I did wonder if it was a later style or deluxe Winsam cab, but I don't think it is. Cannot remember what it said on the plate.......I do recall the tractor made £3950.

They seem have been a not uncommon cab fitted to Masseys in and around the Lincolnshire are. There's a few pictured in Stuart Gibbard's Tractors at Work books, but unfortunately the name of the manufacturer of them isn't mentioned

as i thought and marky confirmed it, its a brand called weathersheilds ,he even attached a brochure of it 😆

apparently the lower front windows do vary depending on age . but  all pretty much the same

Fantastic! Great to see, and have its identity confirmed.....had a feeling it might be Marky you'd asked. 😀

Whilst it's nice to see the rarer makes,  that top photo with Emley Moor in the background is fabulous David, great to see, keep them coming.

Thanks ever so much Joe, most appreciated. It's an area I've got to know quite well over the past three years. Spent quite bit of time on farms surrounding Emley Moor mast, certainly makes for a lovely back drop. Lots more to follow. 🙂

I loved the feature with the Valtras from the same area too, I love landmarks like that and power station cooling towers.

Thanks ever so much Joe. That was on the neighbouring farm to where I photographed the Zetor. 🙂
