CX820Joe Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi All, Just been trawling through old files and folders on the PC and came across these old photos of some of the stuff I used to have in my collection...Most of these have gone now :'( but I still have one or two bits. In a very makeshift display, just a few Britains barns shoved together, in the rather chaotic mess that is my bedroom! First, a few pics of the New Holland 8070 and Laverda M306 'at work' Holmer Terra Dos with repainted wheels: And a few other general views: I will probably make a start on a proper farm display sometime soon, need to rebuild my display though, so it won't happen overnight. Anyway hope you enjoy these pics and perhaps a laugh or two at the very basic-ness of them! Cheers Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Do you still have the green goddess Joe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 The laverda combine looks smart And is one model I actually still have - and having discovered how to detach the header (brute force ) I will be attempting a little detailing etc on it to try and improve it a bit. Lexion 600 is a very good model, but far too big for what I have planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Do you still have the green goddess Joe? The Challenger? Alas no, it went a few years ago, and I think it may have been Top Tractor Geoff who bought it, before I knew he was Top Tractor Geoff, if you see what I mean...

Cheers for that Mart, it would have to be a carpet farm in the future but I'd need to clear a lot of c**p out of my room beforehand! Need some boards for bases - can't very well paint the carpet!

TM190 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 You need to get that header off the lavander mate or she'll not go though the gates :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 You need to get that header off the lavander mate or she'll not go though the gates :D I know but I don't want to break it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I know but I don't want to break it! Ahh it won't break Put a flat screwdriver down in a join you will see and lever it off. easy enough ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I can see the two pins that hold it on - can't lay my hands on a flat screwdriver but tried with a scissor blade and it wouldn't shift - mind you I wasn't using too much force, I have this feeling something will probably snap knowing my luck!

Its a fragile model but you have to be brutal to get it off. I had to pull as hard as i could to the massey one I did off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
