Lord Ferguson Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Some gems there Noel - thanks for posting.... A strange cab on the first 135 as well - anyone know who made that As for the Case mini digger - What a funky new shape... looks like one of those toilets you see in London on the streets :D As for the mud - I don't think I would have fancied taking my car in there very much :o Looks like you had a good day though buddy..... well done and thanks once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Great pics Noel... I'm definitely putting a 135 on my wishlist for when I make my millions And it's great to see so many sheep at a show. Pity about the mud... but on the other hand, it's nice to see the machinery at work towing the other vehicles out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 The cab on the 135 is an Alexander Duncan of Aberdeen cab Marky should have been able to tell us that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 That New Holland TM165 driver is taking a risk towing a horse box from a bar on the lift arms. Not recommended by New Holland or the H.S.E. if health and safety had seen it he would have been in trouble for an unsafe operation. You should only tow from the drawbar jaws or hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi Everyone, I ventured out to the Castwellan Show with my two nephews! I could not believe how much mud there was, and me in a pair of trainers, not a good combination! Like, where have you been for the last 4 weeks? :D :D Top job with the pics. Pity there wasn't more blue in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 great pics noel there seemed to be a lot at it i see the dark clouds coming over at least you had a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I thought the front windscreen looked a little square to be a Duncan cab \ Take a look at the top of the cab roof and at the left hand side of the black strip you will see the white rectangular space where the Duncan name will be found. The unusual feature of this model is it's larger glass panels in the lower part of the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I thought the front windscreen looked a little square to be a Duncan cab \ it does have a duncan look to it, although i have to agree with marky, its not very clear even to me, some bits just dont look right to be duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Nice Pics. Looks like a good day out despite the mud!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Nice pics Noel, especially enjoyed the Farmall Cub...a really nice piece of machinery that is. Thanks for posting !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Definetly a Duncan lads Numpty for Marky me thinks ;D Nice 110-90 too Looks like the new CS Cases have come over here too much to the delight of CS 78 and CS 94 owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Some lovely pictures there Noel despite the terrible looking conditions. For me the best one has to be the first the Farmall Cub reg UZ 577. I've never seen one with that sort of grill in real lfe. I suspect it must be one of the later American ones since it has the American air cleaner. Front wheel rims look odd though should be all red and not red and silver. Do you happen to know the year of manufacture of this one? PS What a year for shows. A local show at Echt Aberdeenshire had to be called off on the Saturday morning due to the sodden field which is also used for junior football. Such a shame with all the set up time and cost and no monety coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im Sorry BBLQO92, i don't know much about the Farmall They couldn't call off the show as there were a lot of entrants/exhibitors and would get them all on the phone. It was a good day though, managed to get in and out before it started to rain again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Im Sorry BBLQO92, i don't know much about the Farmall No problem the picture was great. They couldn't call off the show as there were a lot of entrants/exhibitors and would get them all on the phone. They had the same problem with our local one. Now the money problems will start i.e. should they refund the entrants entrance fees I would hope not and I would hope the entrants would be willing to accept this since the weather is " an act of god". These small shows needs capital funds to keep them going for future years and generations. This one in particular has been going for 140 odd years!!! It was a good day though, managed to get in and out before it started to rain again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noel Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 I Used to go to a lot of these shows when i was younger, somehow it all fizzled out! Now that im no longer working on a farm, i miss it, so try and get to a few shows throughout the year! Though im disappointed at the lack of toy/model tractor stands at these shows! Im sure they would make a few pounds! Though pitch prices can be a bit excessive! A local ice-cream man was telling me he did a show last year and they wanted over ?1k for the day for his van! Thats just greedy! in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
