FordTractorCrazy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hello I am Wil and am a big time fan of the Ford tractors and anything that had to do with the Ford concern. My collection expands quite a bit(. From the old Fordsons to the Ford and later on New Holland and also the by Ford acquired articulated manufacturer Versatile. I collect all scales.. from 1:12 up to 1:87. i really wouldnt know how to get the whole collection in a few shots as i am not even able to display all items (lost count..ha ha!..) but if you wish to have a rough view of it, you can check my collection website www.fordcrazy001.com , in the "About" section you will find a couple of pictures of my collection as it is displayed. In the "collection" section each model is photographed and categorized i would love to hear about what you think about it and naturally hear from other Ford enthusiasts and farm toy collectors... on page 2 i have started with sharing photographs of my collection on a "type" bases (Ford 40-series, 60-series, New Holland TM series, Fordson F etc.etc.etc.. when i have completed that task(it will take weeks), i will update the type-pictures regularly when new models have arrived.

Deere-est Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 What a wonderful site, looks like you have spent a lot of time - not only on the collection but putting the site together. Do you only collect originals, no conversions? I love the TJ series in 1/32. I'd love one of them (not triples) but they always seem a but steep for what you get really. \ Welcome to FTF by the way.

FordTractorCrazy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 thanks Deere-est (great name btw.). yeah, a lot of time was spent on that site. i am lucky enough to have a girlfriend who is good at webdesign which of course helped The TJ-series are pretty good. but also expensive.. and getting more expensive by the day it seems. I got one in 1:!6 scale.. which is awesome.. (AND HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!) I collect originals yes. i dont collect conversions as there would be no end to it anymore.. Also small series of atleast 250 are in my interest.. liking every minute on here with fellow collectors who share this great hobby of collecting farm models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 to reply on a few posts Wil I need to pop over to see you as you have a models that I don't have.....damn it I need to buy more and more Thanks for sharing... I am in shock thanks Barry, sorry to have introduced a couple unknown Ford's to you.. I hate it when that happens to me and i have even more on my wishlist \ They are all in great condition. How do you display them all , and are they mainly boxed items. I have about 2 display cabinets. in one of them all the Fordsons are displayed, the other contains my New Holland combines. I also have some home made show cabinets that are way to full. Regretfully i am not able to show them all. The Versatile collection and all the trucks and banks etc. are currently in a closet as well as the huge 1:16 articulated tractors. In the future i hope to refurbish a complete room for my collection so i can display all the models and memorabilia and brochures i have gathered. Luckily my girlfriend found it ok and i do keep all the boxes. With rare models i try to keep them in the boxes, but mostly out of the boxes. about 85% of the models have boxes with them that i store separately cause it would take toooooooo much space..
