The 77s ,you can see why model makers don't always get the model right as they have different exhausts, mirror arms are different and lights ,i am not knocking them tractors as i like them but if Mr universal hobbies turned up to look which one would he choose No bother Smithy, was just a quick run out, would have liked to have gone down to Malvern but other things on so it was handy really to get to a local rally for an hour. I know what you mean there is a great variation between the tractors there, and like you say it's how the man measuring up the models takes what he sees as gospel.... Bit like Gemma's 804.... Wrong mirrors, wrong weights, wrong colour wheels, but yet it's a good honest tractor..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 When we move the wifes wagon a short distance into the garden we just put a strap around a hook and i hold the shafts up which is ok for a short way also if down hill its a job to hold it as no brakes on the wagon ,next weekend i have to move it again up to the village hall so today i knocked together a drawbar that will slip on in place of the shafts and then can be dropped of and shafts added for display .All the steel was from the scrap pile ,the two red bits that are bracing the red drawbar are old bale-length arms of a N/H 377 baler 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
