jaywilli7610 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 you would be surprised jay ,even at shows like toytrac and spalding, we get new members that have been collecting for years That does surprise me! I suppose its not something that comes into everyday conversation unless you know someone is a collector. In that case I'll make an effort to encourage new members.

CMB Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Judging by the end result I'm assuming this is a mint original from the boxed set: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160538338549&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&autorefresh=true#ht_640wt_1119 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I looked at that when it was first listed and my conclusion was definate repaint - I agree with tractorbob, the paint looks far too shiny and the silver foil decal is a definate replacement - the genuine foil decal for the later muledozers is rounded at the corners, not square; ... and in any case the genuine blue muledozer is only known boxed in the big Ford Super Major 5000 set from the 60s and has the face of the blade sprayed silver - the foil decals weren't used until the 70s. Expensive mistake for someone there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorbob Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 read the older posts .we think.it was a repaint and the blade had a repo silver transfer, not compatable with a blue muledozer this early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 was it 2000? i thought it was less, nearer 1500??? dont quote me on that, but i know they are rare as hens teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 was it 2000? i thought it was less, nearer 1500??? According to "the bible" 2000 made Sean The figure of 2000 seems to have been first put about by David Bate in his booklet detailing his collection of Britains tractors (published in 1982), and as far as anyone is able to find out, 2000 seems to have been a more or less 'usual' number for special production runs from Britains around this era (it is thought the Valtra Valmet 8950, Deutz-Allis, Vermeer Baler, Hurlimann H468, NH TR85 in plain red box, 'Real Inc' Milk Tankers, and Forestry Commission Land Rover 90 were produced in similar numbers). I am a little wary of sticking my neck out with a prediction on the final bid for the Hesston in that eBay link - it seems odd that there is just one very poor quality picture and virtually no description; without more and better photos it is nigh impossible to verify whether it is a genuine one or not. Genuine ones are worth a lot less than they once were; having been up towards four figures in the early 2000s, they generally seem to have made around £350 to £450 recently.
