a cerberus mccormick cx 100 in gold for our Matt. Never seen one of these before and the seller said it was to celebrate 50 years of tractor production at Doncaster. It also came with a tankard, On the tankard though is a case cx 100 and a mccormick farmall and after a bit of googling I can't find much out, but 50 years was celebrated in 1999 and mccormick started manufacturing in 2000 so weather it was to celebrate end of one era and the start of another can anyone shed any light?

Not really my latest buy as i was kindly given this from amazone uk as i was trying to get the cayron but they are difficult to get hold of now and sold out on the amazone shop so they sent me this, one repair and some straightning of some of the plough shares. , no box but not bothered about that

New Kramer KT557 telehandler for me, and now that JD dealers are selling the real thing they seem to be shifting a few in my area. I don't think there was any release fanfare for these, they just appeared on the manufacturer's website last year, just like the Vaddy drill.  I bought mine direct from Kramers website for £62, thats a lot less than the £100 +pp that Brushwood are asking for them.  Its a very good model with 4 wheel steer.

5.5ton lift to 7 meters high apparently, ideal for loading big muck spreaders and artics.

A couple of better pictures now they are out of the box.

The T7 has to be the most-difficult-to-remove-from-a-box-model I have ever encountered! I had to drill out around the screws as the screw heads had completely worn down.  Worth the effort as it is a great model but there’s no way it can ever go back on its plinth!

Going all blue Joe?

I think so Paul, more options!

Plus they are very popular around here.  I will keep the Masseys and a couple of the Fendts though, I just would like an older Fordson - Dexta or Power Major etc.

Well I have sold a few things of late, and some more bits and pieces are up for sale, someone has bid £112 on a JD 7800 which I altered to a 7810 (but not very well) so I suspect that bid will be withdrawn especially when you can still get the 7800s for a good deal less.

the Replicagri Renaults are going to be sold too though at not sure if eBay is the route for them.

ROS Lambo 1706 came today from Modelmania.. The Same Galaxy I got a few weeks back impressed me with the fine detail.. So I also went for the Lambo. Nice model.

Ebay purchases John? I was watching some of these when I should have been buying them! I knew about the Ref No. 11, also no  price to front cover, 3d or 6d wouldn't mean much in the US.

I have a '70 catalogue Ref No. 11 Reeves and a '68 without a distributor address on back, presumably for all export markets. It came with a UK price list though.

There are UK and export trade wrappers/supplements for the '65 to '71 catalogues, as no Trade catalogues for these years apart from that unusual '68 catalogue I think I mentioned to you

I don't see whats different with the 942 cab?  It still has the overly too high blackpatch above the drivers console on the front window which spoils the appearance, and that naff cool box to the right of the drivers feet is still there. Thats why I got rid of mine. And the front rims are too big, they work out at R40s and the tyres are numb!!   I'm having a gripe😄 

Hopfully Wiking will do a top job on the forthcoming 728 and all will be forgiven.
