1972farming Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hello everyone.I haven't been on here much lately due to the better weather bringing gardening etc.I have also been busy getting ready to dabble in motocross part time.I am still doing a bit of converting and restoring though .Can anyone tell me the story behind the blue cabs sometimes seen on Britains Fordson DDNs.I have only seen them on tractors from European countries .Were they produced blue by Britains for export ? Or have some people been painting them ?I would like to find out just for curiosity really. Thanks and best wishes to you all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 They were/are blue plastic (ie not painted) & the story I heard was that they were for the Scandinavian/Eoropean market, but I've no idea why. Obviously several have got back here over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thanks for that Nigel,its been bugging me for ages . I did have a feeling they could have been export only . I haven't any in my collection ,just they grey ones . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendtman Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I have a couple of them in my collection. The ones I have bought are all from a couple of guys from denmark. Also al the ones I have seen till know were from guys from Denmark, so I think they were probably made for that country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
