Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 She's a three stick Mark, a beauty with under 5000hrs and even air con too! I am really enjoying driving her as it makes a nice change. Although still modern by many standards it's vintage for me and it adds a little nostalgia to the daily job. All being well I'll have 2680 on a 12t Western spreader this week, we'll see about that though. Although a bit splattered with blackberries I'll get some better photos of her when I can for you chaps. As it happened I dropped my 2yr old Fuji S8000 and it is now . . .. .. F****** so I am a bit pee'd off about that [ Anyway, here is a 290 now which I had to collect a creep feeder with when we moved the cows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Missing a couple of panes of glass and a rear widow but otherwise, she is all there and again tidy as well. Although the steering is slack and when pulling aside for an oncoming car on the lane I did nearly take it out with the feeder! :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 probably needs the king post bearing renewing mate... or if she's unresponsive... perhaps just wear that needs taking up in the mini toplink on the top of the arm \ As for the Synchro 12 box... shift on the fly WITH engine breaking... shame you have to de-clutch first.. I bet she's fast on the road though Trissy As for the 2680.. is this the yellow one you showed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 wheres the seat padding gone thwn trissy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Ask the previous owner, Sean! Not terribly quick Mark to be honest, I think it could be "Simon-ed" though :laugh: I think it came from an arable farm as there is paint wear underneath as if it was on a sprayer during the spring. The 2680 is a red'un which has been made use of during the summer while it waits it's turn for the workshop. The yellow one however, was purchased from Wales some time ago but that is as much as I found out. Dealer sticker shows it's origin. It currently sits "in the hedge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 mm thats unusal tris, what do they use it for?? not a lot going by the current parking location, and whats the other yellow one beside her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Sorry, everything here is awaiting workshop and export Sean. Should have said. I had a root around for any clues as to what it spent it's life doing, company stickers, company safety procedure etc but nothing gave any clues. The interior, apart from the seat is in quite good nick and it's hours if genuine, are quite modest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 However, the paint is over red so it must have been made a red one and later sprayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Next to her, as Sean spotted was this little 20D? Maybe from the same place but I didn't think to ask Also, two slightly worse examples of older 100 series tractors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 A couple of more fortunate examples, there are half a dozen floating around with this style of cab at the moment, I quite like them. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 And a real 575 conversion!! Well the door at least anyway. Must admit, it is kind of suited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Oh, one more. A 675 which is another one looking a bit worse for wear. I suspect it's wheels have already been swapped with a tractor that has gone or is in the other yard. Secondly, this is what I'll be taking up to Grimsby on Tuesday if the plans are still the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Very nice pictures Tris. Nice to see some oldies balling. You did give Mark a good day, with those strange red ones you did catch Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks Bas. If Marky spent a day at this place he would need hospital treatment for the excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 more great finds there, always sad in a way too see all these tractors parting our shores but I guess they are being given a second life they'd never get in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 I always think much the same to be honest, some of the tractors which come in are so genuine and I would love to have the money to take one or two on one day .. .... Oh hark at me getting all sentimental!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 blimey a old bodmin blocks wagon, well oldish, was still being used till they went bust late last year early this i recon, or have they had it longer than that tris amazing that they still find the old 100 series tractors regularly , do they sell on to uk people or all abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
