Ah right so mine is an earlier version than the straw box so in theory worth more ;D ;D

That is one of the worst Britains models for plastic rot.  I had two in the same box, last time I looked at them they were just of box full of melted plastic components, completely fallen apart.  If its reasonably rot free then it could be worth a lot more than one would expect!  What is that behind the belt at the bottom end?

Where these elevators melted was where the conveyer belt came into contact with the plastic and in the middle where the little rubber tube joiners went over the spires that joined the two sides together. Once the melt has begun practically impossible to rectify.

I love these, they look very similar to the Lely Stack-Hy we have at home, except the elevator on the Stack Hy is a steel tray with a chain & hardwood block system... anyone got one of these without the elevator they'd  be prepared to part with?

Well spotted Peter... it's paper kitchen roll round the bottom roller which has rotten in an attemt to stop any welding onto the comnveyor belt. This model must be approaxching 40 years old and it was well played with so on the whole I suppose it has lasted not too badly.

Shame really because it was such a "playable" toy and a very nice model.

If you were in the queue for these and they had any left when you got to the front then you could buy as many as you wanted (and they had left).  In theory the first person could have bought all 100!

Jens bought close to 300 agritechnica models last time, so he probably bought a lot of Deeere's. He is also the guy who arranges the Traktorado farmtoyshow in Husum, Germany. Great show btw. www.traktorado.de
