MJB1 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 yes mart , a fix with some easystart& she sits there runing the slurry pump all day ! the best thing about my job is finding all the things other people don't see around the farm ! this 35 is petrol TVO, farmer said that when the last mix was finished up approx 15 years ago it was parked in the shed & thats where it's been ever since \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Wey Hey... thanks Marcus... some great pics there mate... as usual... and as for finding a REAL WORKING 420 :o - I thought I was the only mug to buy one in the UK :D Did you get any feedback from the farmer about it... - Has she been reliable Good OR BAD news... I'd love to know mate if you can find out... As for the BIG green JQ... - What a beasty mate... Amazing what is laying around in sheds... I bet they don'ty use that as a yard scraper :D Thanks for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 the 420 replaced a 4wd MF 250 which shares a loader with the ford 4610T & is now on loading duties between 2 other farms, so far no problems with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Good pics of some unusual stuff Marcus. After rolling the 6600 I might have taken the cab off but at least I would have straightened the exhaust too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 i don't think the exhaust srvived the roll john ,do you ? :D looks like an exhaust from a 4100/4600 to me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Lovely pictures again Marcus!!! What does that 8000 series JD get used for? What a classic piece of Big Iron! Some other lovely snaps, the photo of the Massey 65 "watching the kids play" is a bit special, lovely use of the camera. When's our next installment?
