CallumC Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Won a cracking joblot on ebay the other day. nice mix of bits for £39 Then came across this lot on Facebook market place a massive collection of britains bits in mostly very nice condition. It wasn't a bargain but if I was to sell it all individually I'd make money so I'd say it was a fair deal for me. Also got the 135s and what not from him does anyone know anything about the silver and red acrobat rake ?

CallumC Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Here's a couple pics after cleaning the collection I bought. Over all it's in very good condition fue cabs and a couple linkages some bales have the edges filled down and all the cows have been dehorned by a busy young farmer! Haha but all in all a very good collection and a rare chance to get everything in 1 go. Does anyone have any tips for cleaning animals just soapy hot water ? Some sheep have pen on them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I bought this 8220 model again because its better than I gave it credit for first time around, also I plan to make changes to this one to make it look like one I photographed as a Massey Demo machine back in the day. And I still say the real machine is a good 8 inches shorter than the 8250 that UH rebadged this model with a year ago🙄..................I have the pictures and technical data to prove it!!!😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Agri Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Stopped yesterday in a local vintage toy shop in Devon on the way home from work, got some nice Britains models for a good price. Fastrac was the first model i had as a child and it got playworn and broken like it does so always said id buy myself a good boxed one some day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
