Johny mf Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 The last photo of the combination today! The first photo is taken when i´d go to the KLW show a few months ago a bit dreamy Also the orange flowers on the miror because the Dutch team had to play to Brasil that day at the World Championchip footbal!

texas Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Very nice pictures Johny. Some where in Friesland ( when i am right) you can rent a tractor and trailer like yours for holliday. Maybe you can start also a rent company. texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 thanks for the update & pictures johnny , i always enjoy them & look forward to the next ! Same here... What a combination Johnny... I'd love to go touring around mainland Europe with the living van mate as well. The trailer also looks nice mate - does it hold about 5t of sand when it's heaped up As for the axle... I guess Beauvais must have been building dry braked 212 engine machines for some period at the changeover \ .. at least you won't be clogging up your backend oil strainer with brake disc muck which is what happens on the wet braked backends \ Thanks for the update... and don't leave it for so long next time please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Thanks for the reply´s lads! I wil try to do more whit her so i can make some photo´s I must say it is realy fun to go to shows whit the living wagon and to meet people that ar interested in old tractors like me Mark: the tipper can take 4,5t but some times i load more indeed Owh Forgot: The white tent you see in the back is my new purchase so i can put Sandy nice under it! Much better then standing half outside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny mf Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks lads I wanted to finish the job today but in the shed where i do this work is from a friend of me and he said to me today we don't work on Sandy today we go to a Oldtimer tractor show so we did and no work spend on Sandy! Next Saturday i am going to finish the job hopefully because my garden needs some work and Sandy needs to do some jobs But when i do that work whit Sandy i make some photo's for you lads!

Lord Ferguson Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Yes please Johnny.. very interesting to see what Sandy and you are getting up to mate. You've also got an interesting seat on Sandy... we had that in England as an option (I think... could have been standard) on the MF175.. although I think ours had cream/tan coloured coverings \ .. it's kind of an early float-o-matic seat I assume you have no brakes on the living van then mate .. do you think this has contributed to Sandy's brake problems . Not many hills in Holland mind you :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Indeed Mark no brake's on the living wagon but i think the brake's where bad for quite some time and now i had decided to doing something about that! The tractor brake's did their work but lateley they did'nt got loose verry well. Also on the left side the oilbearing was broken so there was some oil on the brake About the seat it is the deluxe spring seat and over here in Holland it where also an option. When i bought the tractor this seat was in verry bad shape whit no leather on it. So i had give it an overhaul. And this seat is a real comfort for driving her and verry glad it is on! I also like the model of the seat and you can buy some times the cheaper univerals black version but i don't like the look of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well Sandy is finaly back home (picked herr up last sunday ) I had made some photo´s before she where finished but that are realy nice one´s! Here the reflector lights aren´t on but they are instaled! I did modify them that they are now brake lights! I had the problem whit the original lights that it is American style so the turning light is conected whit the brake light! So i needed to place an extra brakelight´s on the fenders. This was something i didnt like to place a not so nice extra lamp so i came up whit the idea of making them in the reflectors! If i have time tomorow i post picture´s of them! So here some nice photo´s of Sandy while she is at the place where i did all the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 2nd bunch of photo´s! And then finaly a photo of her nice bumm whit the new ploughing light and the original backlights! This looks more authentick! Hope you like her more now? I want to do the paint work again in a few years if i have build a shed on my property that she can stand under a roof! When i where on vacation a while back the tent she stood under where blown away by a big storm :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
