CX820Joe Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I bought this smaller NH T7.165. It does look a bit odd on its small wheels but I thought it looked better than a T6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 My spalding purchases Britains ford 8730 with pound off sticker britains 5610 with dutch special price sticker britains conversion to a Northop. Now I saw one of these at spalding quite a number of years ago but didn't buy it and made enquiries after the show but it sold. So when I saw this I had to buy it, apparently they were made by the apprentices at Northop back in the day. Does anyone have one in their collection? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I don't know anything about these Northrops but have seen one before somewhere, possibly on here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Few purchases in the last few months For the transit collection a couple of DHL transits. I'm led to believe these were done by britains specialy for DHL but I'm not sure does anyone know? for the autoway collection a deutz and dump trailer. The trailer has a chevron decal instead of autoway decal for the road series collection safety trailer with chevron decal pipe trailer dumper early dumper with no decals and the box has the ce and bs markings on the left for the new holland collection T6.175 T 7.300 BLUE POWER for the catalogue collection 1966 with no price on the front and just the britains address on the back 1969 with no price on the front and the american distributors address on the back 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 i have seen one of them northrops before, from memory at a toytrac years ago, may well have been at farmer giles old place, dont recal who did them mind, not really my thing brand wise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Have also bought a Britains T7.300, it’s very good to be fair, only minor gripe is the Siku front linkage, but I’m sure there is a way of disguising it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours looks like a martyns farm models one possibly. I built one a good few years back based on a britains 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't one of Martyns I spoke to him about it, I'd like to find a proper front hub for it like yours and a nose weight to finish it off then some decals. One day project 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I knew Martyn had made some out of UH 5000 so thought it was one he'd done, someone else has had a go then. Like you say proper weight, front hubs and decals would finish it off but it looks a decent enough job though. I may have some spare decals if you want some but i'd have to check my spares box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
