1972farming Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hello guys and girls . I have come across a white plastic Ford seat like the type fitted to the 5000 and 6600 . Its white plastic and not painted white and not the 135 type of seat. I was wondering if anyone knows which tractor had a white seat of this type fitted. I know some Fiats had cream seats but I am guessing that this could be a seat off the yellow Industrial Ford 5000 Supermajor .This may be a question for Nigel or Andy but if anyone can help I would be happy. I don't know where I got it from ,I found it last night while rummaging about for other bits. Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Im not too sure on this one, the mini set I have has a white plastic unpainted seat but I guess yours being that is unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 It's not one of the first repo ones from the mid eighties Steve is it Brian Norman would be able to confirm that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewingale Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I have an industrial 5000sm set and the seat is an off white almost grey colour if this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks for your help guys,this one is very white so perhaps it isn't the 5000 seat . \ It was just bugging me because I hadn't seen one before . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Yes Nigel ,Its just really a white version of the early 5000 seat . What do you reckon ? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Certainly new to me, Brian Norman did get many white bits moulded from that era like the 135 tow pin, exhaust, seat etc, but the original 5000 bits were off white ( greyish- as I'm sure you're aware) though he did get the rad grille & side strips done in white plastic, maybe he had some seats done aswell?
