BC Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 No worries Bill it just means now you need the other three variants now for your collection Yes I know Mark but its all godd fun ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 As the last one on the list is the version made in Macau in the 'Authentic farm Models' box, and BCs one is UK made in the 'Authentic Model' box, we need to add between the last two on that list: 9567 Massey Ferguson 4 Wheeled Trailer red/yellow wheels (date unsure - probably 1996/97) 'Authentic Model' box, as previous model but mudguards deleted. Thanks ploughmaster I was fairly certain you would add value to this post too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 My latest addition No 9519 a JCB. Box not as good as I would normally like but with a little TLC it could be improved and will do until a better one comes to hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Lovely find there Bill, remember having one as a kid and often used to yoke the 8 wheeled green and red dolly axle trailer over the steering lever at the back for leading bales on my carpet farm in years gone by. I have the later 526 in my collection but it's nowhere near as appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Another two boxes and three models arrived yesterday. Very well packed I had to laugh at the littel box too..."this way up".......excellent ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Out of the box for a trial run ;) And now the little box Within was No 9543 a GRAY's ( Gray's of Fetterangus between Mintlaw and Fraserburgh ) Buckrake in yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 The second box Again packed very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 My latest Britain's arrived yesterday. Packaging could have been better but I knew the box was a scruffy one and didn't pay much for the model so again it will do until something better comes along. Its No 9574 Front loader system and comes in the AMB or Blue spot box. I will renew the cello and straighten up the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Packaging could have been better but I knew the box was a scruffy one and didn't pay much for the model so again it will do until something better comes along. I would think the box was a lot better than that before it was posted. That is an appalling standard of packing; it never fails to amaze me just how brainless some people are when posting things - it's lucky it wasn't completely crushed. Some more nice models there again. Nice yellow Grays SG10 individually boxed which is not often seen - they usually came in the budget set 9432 with the odd colour 6600.

BC Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well Clive I saw a picture before and the box was a bitty crushed. Having said that I only paid £ 9.50 for the model so it wasn't an expensive one. Only wrapper with one bit of bubble wrap and that thin paper and second class post. I was well pleased with the Gray's buckrake and this one has eluded my collection for some time. When i worked in the profession I did the audit of Gray of Fetterangus (1972) Limited and got to know one of the directors Duncan Forbes rather well since he collects the real vintage tractors too.

CMB Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Strange that this remained Britains premier front loader for 16-odd years when power loaders had long surpassed this old wire trip type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Even stranger that they didn't make a proper bucket for it (or come to that, a proper bucket for the first Loadall, or indeed, any of the Loadalls \ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Another two Britain's arrived yesterday and again I must say very well packaged. First up is Boxed set No 9660 in a Banded Box This is a lovely set comprising from top left to bottom right hand side Vicon vari spreader ( ex lever ) Farmer 2 gates Goat Mother hen and 5 chicks Calf Lamb Horse Pig Ford 5610 with driver Massey Ferguson dung spreader 4 small bales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Out for an inspection and a play I think the dung spreader is an amazing working model for its time despite hearing farmers saying they never worked that well unless the dung was well broken up..i.e...not loaded directly from the "midden" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Next No 9558 in Cheveron Rainbow box Britains 8 wheeled trailer with mudguards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
