Lovely TS there @maidhc
Did the paint ever flake off the bonnet?
Of course it did! Got it redone a few years back by Harringtons in Cork. I resprayed the front wheels a few years ago too, but all 4 could nearly do with being blasted at this stage.

Sanderson has a 6610 engine, 550 transmission and back axle. The steering axle on this one is from a volvo bm, the original 550 one seems to have been changed at some point.
4600 mid refurb in 2017. The windscreen surround was challenging...
Cheers Cormy appreciate that
Many hours on it ?There is only one non-ford on the farm:

This is my current project. Christmas holidays is time to strip out the cab and spray it in NH chassis grey (easier got than the jcb version and it is very close)

Good luck hope have it running like a clock as the say6500. Genuine too as I have known the machine. Rust is an issue, but hopefully will get it mostly sorted this week while I'm off.
Lovely 7000 :wub:

Yep.
Check out the seat. Maybe new old stock ? Didn’t think they could be got any longer?

Not the cleanest looking out of the lot but she's perfect for rolling, fert spreading, and on the slurry agitator.

My favourite out of the lot. Perfect on the wrapper and the diet feeder. She's only on the baler when we are cutting barley as the our TM165 usually tugs the trailers.

The supposed upgrade from our old 8360. She has her problems (that's what you get for paying peanuts) like the front suspension doesn't work to the solenoids burning out to the brakes not being as responsive now then it was before during the summer. Only reason why we got her was the suspension. The father has gotten to the stage where he can't sit down for prolonged periods of time and this machine was supposed to help but everyone knows that cab suspension is useless with out the front suspension.
We are big into blue machines. My dad grew up around em and his favourite out of the whole lot his dad had was a ford 5000. We do have a MF 135 but she's on the yard scraper or generator when the power goes out. He did have a brief stint with MF's in the form of a 3080 but went back to fords as it was expensive to maintain but he did love the tractor.
