    Classics Earning their keep.

    two super tractors to me, sold the 6410 to buy the 7740 and now 7740 has been replaced for Tm130, unfortunately I can’t keep them all but if I ever come into money at least I can have some fun tracking them down again and buying them back!

    This was my ts115, 03, non turbo, had 5300 genuine hours, should never have let this one go!

    Lely 300 advice

    I’ve recently purchased a lely 300, believe it or not it was actually to replace my lely 600 but change of circumstances meant I didn’t need as big as my 600. Question is, when using the 300 do you leave the locking pin out on the headstock or do you just remove pin, push across into the...

    Best tedder combi on the market

    I’d a lely 600 for tedding, sold it thinking I’d buy one of those kuhn 360s that row and kick out, think there around £4500.00 new but after watching a few people via YouTube using them I changed my mind, I think at the end of the day the more rotors you have the better the crop will break out...

    New project b275

    Thanks for the information, think I know where your speaking off, I will check the oil and the strainer tomorrow. Seems to have plenty of power on the lift just not that smooth.

    New project b275

    Well, definitely a sekura cab as suggested, shows good oil pressure hot or cold, pulls well and isn’t too bad to start at all, needs about 15 secs of heat 1st thing but will start rest of day no problem without heat. Needs a center pin, crank seal and the lift would be a bit juddery but...

    New project b275

    Thanks, got the original tax book and even the operators manual with it which doesn’t happen too often. The cab is actually stamped for a 275,276,414,I originally thought when I saw it that someone had took it off a mf135 and fitted it, now I think it may have came with it so might leave it be...

    New project b275

    Bought this few days ago, something a bit different for me as I like blue tractors but I’ve lately thought that smaller fords ie 2000, 3000, 4000 etc have just got way over priced. One thing I’ve learnt when refurbishing a tractor is you need to buy it as cheap as you can as by the time you’re...

    MF 135 hydraulic top link

    I’d one on my 135 for mini muck spreader many moons ago, just used an ordinary 2 way ram and welded an eye on each end, never broke, was a bit awkward but, you had to flick lever over under seat, lift arms lever up for constant pump, then position your top link, then lower arms lever to let...

    Case jxu

    I’ve couple of new Holland’s with sle gearboxes, there grand but it saps power and takes away from hydraulic flow when using anything on spools and trying to move at same time. I like the idea of a straight manual box with the electric shuttle. Would the jxu be slightly better finished off than...

    Case jxu

    does anyone here have a jxu 105 or 110? Is there a 115 which is 6 cylinder? I’m thinking of making a purchase, just wondering what the good points and bad points are, ideally I’d like one with manual box, do these come with electronic shuttle? Any information appreciated.
