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'

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

Wonder what happened to the 8070  ???;D ;D

Some nice photo's Joe, have to start rebuilding that collection asap I reckon  ;)

8070 went to a good home! ;)

The laverda combine looks smart :)

And is one model I actually still have - and having discovered how to detach the header (brute force  :D) 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  ;)

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... :)

And the ploeger??

Oh yes still got her, she's parked nice and safe on the top shelf!

And no, not next to the magazines :D

It was a good display you had there mate......Nothing wrong with being basic mate......I'm exactly the same......Carpet farming all the way......

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! :D

You need to get that header off the lavander mate or she'll not go though the gates  :D :D

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  ;) ;)

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!

trust me. 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  ;)
