Off topic I know but seen something that would have made you cry. A reasonable looking red 13/14 94 on the beach at Weston super mare

Im not so sure.
The scantily clad bodies on the beach may have given you, I or anyone else a rather pleasing semi but I'm pretty confident the 94 series would have done it for our John..

What size where her wings? Where they big? Did they stick out far? What about the exhaust? Was it the kind that seems to go on forever? What about her back end? Did it look like someone had been in there? Was there oil dribbling out and trickling down her block leaving her all wet and sticky?

Go on

You can tell us.

That's curious, why do you have the number of a mental health care facility?

He runs DB tractors and a Massey combine. Harvest is hardly going to be plain sailing is it!

A set of ear defenders, if it's got a safety cab

Ford 3 cylinder diesel? A set of ear defenders even if it hasn't got a safety cab!

For a couple of my customers who used to ring me in a frantic state of panic when thier baler had ceased working.........

harvest is done except for 10 acres of spring wheat, all the straw has been baled, stubble been over with the disco and rolled....now sat with my feet up waiting for a nice day to combine that bit of wheat

just been out this morning and bought the remains of another 525 for spares...whole combine minus the engine, £300....i now have spares for a lifetime.

Sounds expensive. Bet you could have got 2 MF Deltas for that

Id say the 525 will still be going long after the deltas all stop, shes 40 years in now and not showing any signs of giving up yet. Breakages this year have so far totaled a bolt costing 75p...although it took quite a bit of removing!!!

once the donor gets here after we have finished tates it should provide a nice warm winter job gas axeing it apart for its innards

The biggest problem with 3 cylinder Fords are those bloody tin boxes they put on them, you'd be quite supprised how quiet they are with only two post ROPS!!!

Mine was quiet quiet with it's non ROP Lambourne cab.

A Howard Rotavator or mabe just a linkbox to start makes useful toolbox.

Ive got the number for Fulbourn mental institution, he might need that as well...

To be perfectly honest, in the mid 60's to the mid 70's , most hay baled around here was done with a pre force 4000 and B47, I'd suggest that tractor and baler must have done hundreds of thousands of bales, so I can't quite understand your post , nor its relivance to this thread.

Plenty done with other machines as well...jones, MF, JD, welger, riveirre casalis....

relevant....about as much as your previous post i would have thought

a blue jones baler would go well behind a ford....admittedly it would go better behind a DB with its superior spread of gears and twin speed pto, but thats another matter

Only you know where they are and how to get them though.

there is a gear for every job if you can find it, it does help that the engine has a bit of bottom end torque and can stay in that gear throughout the work, unlike having to drop a cog because your short stroke over square torqueless engine has dropped off song
