robbo Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Some of you may have seen this on page 18 of the latest Classic Tractor mag but for those of you who don't get it there is to be an inaugural North West of England tractor show at Myerscough college, Bilsborrow, near Garstang, Lancashire on the weekend of 28th/29th June. As well as the main exhibits which include a full range of the MF 500 series tractors I believe that G & M Farm Models will have their wares on display. Having been a student in the past at Myerscough I am sure that there will be many other exhibits and stands and it will be a great weekend. I will certainly be there on one of the days, probably the Sunday, as it is only 45 minutes from where I live robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Just got back from the show and took over 70 photos, don't worry I won't post them all.....at least not all in one go anyway ;) ;) The theme for the show was Massey Ferguson (should keep 'is Lordship happy) but there were plenty of others there as well. I'll start with a couple of interior shots lineup of the MF 500 series and from the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 These can loosely be described as tractors, they bear more resemblance to "funny cars" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Nice pics :) Is that implement a snow blower thing \ \ \ right first time, that quiz didn't last long did it \ \ \ \ \ \ The info sheet in the window said it had been parked up in a barn in Huddersfield for 10 years waiting for enough snow, eventually the owner got fed up of waiting, put a new battery on the tractor and it started first time :o :o robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 My word Robbo that Nuffield does look immaculate but I'm afraid i'm going to have to be my unsual critical self again and say its overdone...... there are a lot of shiny bits that originally would not have been on the tractor when it left the factory... brassy looking bonnet catches and rear wheel studs to name but a few. Having said that that is a restorers license and he can do as he pleases. Obviously whoever has restored this tractor has put a great deal of time and effort into it. I really would like to see this tractor in the flesh thought but my preference in tractor restoration is originality. Looks to have been a nice show with varying exhibits. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
