No, don't think so anyway.In the last picture is your top link bracket cracked?
I think the baler is too small for it
On the LHS near the bolt looks to be, I only noticed because I noticed mine broken in that area just the other dayNo, don't think so anyway.
Will have a closer look 👍On the LHS near the bolt looks to be, I only noticed because I noticed mine broken in that area just the other day
No it was painted at some stage in the dim and distant past. It's a 1947, originally straight petrol and converted to TVO. It belonged to a neighbouring farm, was parked up for years, I bought it probably 25 years ago. Needs a bit of TLCIt needs a bit of air! Nice patina on the Ferguson, original?
Fine outfit @Jay DeeFirst few bales this morning ahead of the rain

Nice buy @scoffcruddle 👌I bought this last month at my neighbours dispersal sale,they bought it new in 1966,it was the main tractor and it ran a jf side mounted forager for years,mechanical it’s spot on,I’ve pumped 250k gallons of slurry into the tanker with it and the only issue I had was the oily dust on the manifold setting on fire.

And a different exhaust than the original one but it's still a fine machine😊That looks lovely. Original block too and the remains of the original seat.
Converted to an alternator though
The Q6M is a fair brute of a loader, looks an awful lot heavier than the Q5M hereTook the mowers off as I've no more to cut for the weekend.
Bit of a change of roles here this year I think.
I'll do less of the baling and do more of the drawing.

Fitted some loader brackets to the 6480 but a different multi doc came with the kit so I may have to change over the t7550

Picked up a new baler today 1000 speed camless with the new pickup.

Also collected a new rake.
Stuck with pottinger again I'd be extremely slow to go to another brand of rake.
The case bonnet was destroyed with stone chips.
It was also a totally different color to the rest of it so gave it a lick of paint and waiting for some decals.
There some tractor I must say crazy power in them for a little 4 pot.
Absolutely love driving it.

Had the 7550 mowing.
She needs a whiff of the magic spanner.
I think there 208?
The old one must have been a good 240

It doesn't seem near as awkward in the tractor for some reason.The Q6M is a fair brute of a loader, looks an awful lot heavier than the Q5M here
Have you her plumbed into the tractor's own spoolsIt doesn't seem near as awkward in the tractor for some reason.
Fine job on the electric spools
