MJB1 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 What a remarkable similarity to Marky....Marcus.....they say everyone has a double ;) whew at least they know who they are Nice update there Marcus with lots of scrap. Don't think that is a 956 mind - looks more like a 856 to me. Surprised the combine is indoors scrap ? ah you mean the 6710 i thought it was an 856 but there was a 956 door down in the nettles ? yes combine lives indoors , but farmer says he may sell it after next season & not bother with corn , as it's just as cheap to buy it in for mixing I had to look twice Bill... I thought to myself... ummm... I don't remember doing that windscreen \ :D Great update Marcus... nice 750 too .. silver cabber too... and I guess the rotary radiator screen is off to replace the lip seal around it... they were cr@ppy those had to look twice when he drove in to the truck park ! don't see many masseys that vintage round here full stop ! but there was a big massey dealers down that way years back , & he always has a massey loader tractor but prime tractor is now a deere & 5445 + loader Nice updates Marcus, you certainly get to see a real variety of oldies on your travels........ certainly do mart , i consider it a perk of the job , that & finding a few bit's like tyres for my tractor & cultivators for lord furgus ! that old 02 reg must be getting ready for retirment i should think? must be nice to go out on someone elses patch nice change of scenery anyway! got two sisters going later in the spring GZS & GZT will both be replaced with new scania sleeper cabbed 8 leggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Some real stockman tractors you've found there. I also think the Case IH is an 856, looks right length for the four cylinder engine and the rear mudguards are distinctive. I think the 956 door you saw was from a tractor the owner had already killed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 956 door you saw was from a tractor the owner had already killed! it probably was an 856, but i wasn't really taking much notice to be honest, as for killing the 956 i could probably beleive that , he also had a french 60 series ford in the yard , it was booted up with american style tread tyres & all all the decals in the cab & safety decals were in french , which sort of gives it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ahhhh, now I understand why he can't look after his machines, all the instructions are in French and he doesn't understand a word of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ahhhh, now I understand why he can't look after his machines, all the instructions are in French and he doesn't understand a word of it unfortunately he's one of those farmers who has loads of sheds that are filled to the brim with unuseable rubbish,& the kit stays outside Going by the reg i'd say your old eight legger comes from up my way Marcus we have 3 on that reg & are ex-ABN ,GZS,GZT & an artic unit GZU so may well have been bought up round your way paul. There's another GZ? in devon sold from ABN now run by a subbie although still in ABN colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ah well now Marcus that 65 is a bit too good to be called scrap At least someone agrees with me about the 856 or it could indeed be a 844 either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Nice update Marcus always fascinated by what you find to capture on the farms you deliver to, some very interesting work horses in amongst that little lot, the 6710 being my favourite, dowdy appearance aside.
