You can tow sarinda onto the hard 😣

@@fastrac005 could have a Tug of war!!!

Haha, that’d be fun! I’m sure we could come up with some entertaining things to do with them.

Hi sorry for my delayed response, yes they do breath a bit heavy and hard work is supposed to help clear them out. Mine had done about 70hrs on a full engine rebuild so I don’t think it should breathe as heavy. But maybe it needs some real hard work

Thanks Charlie, I’ll have to get out and do a bit with her to make some more footage

If you ever get to Cheshire, let me know

@@fastrac0055 thanks for the offer we maybe heading over your way next summer for a break I’ll be sure to send you a massage 👌🏿

i have just emailed about an ed mod 155 a few hours ago mainly out of curiosity. do they want the kind of going rates for the tractor or cheaper ex mod prices ? i have a 155-65 and i know how much it is worth ...but it doesnt have under 1000 hrs on the clock ! was amazed to see that

Keep the shafts greased and make sure the handbrake is in good shape :-) would like to see some cottage of it.

They seem to want strong money for them but I think they should be cheaper than normal because they don’t have all the same capabilities

Thx Mark, I used to drive them with the biggwer wheels on & 65k box. We did all primary cultivations for spuds and corn no bother. These early ones do have a bit of a following now.

Thanks, yours was looking well and made good figures!

Yes I was quiet surprised by that. 1 A 300hp fender was 1400’s lb ft so she put up a strong showing. Yeah the Cummins in 185 does sound well.

only took 4 years of Sundays

Thank you!

You wouldn’t be a bad judge

Thanks, she is good fun, probably a little more truck like to drive than your old 3185 but thats all part the experience.

Thanks, a lot of work went into her. Yes she has electric windows. There is no rushing the box that’s for sure! Even with a refurb it’s like stiring a barrel of bolts 😀 Even the successor, the selectronic box was much smoother and quicker.

It can get tiresome on a long day 😁

Thanks 👍

Yep, same engine

Thanks Edward and sorry I missed this comment. The yellow is call JCB New Yellow (2k) and for the grey I used 2K ACRITOP LS155 CODE: N9422 NEW MASTER CHROMA STANDARD.. the chassis I used a 1k gloss black from Churchill paints. If I did it again I’d go 2k but there is a huge difference in cost, I used 7 litres of something like that. Wheels I used a 2k silver recommended for truck wheels, won’t matter so long as they all match. Black primer for the grey and white for the yellow.

Thx sadly KZbin lowers the sound quality it’s even better in the raw footage 💪

Kubota is 👍

Thanks Russell, high praise indeed! I might have a question for you as it happens 👍

Just give myself or Kaylem a message when you need a bit of help anytime

Thank you!

A bit awkward around the staff car park 😆

Next time I’ll have to get some footage of the buckrake in action 👍

Yep sounds good 👍

It’s a old truck style gearbox so there is no rushing it. The 125/ 145 box is probably less smooth than the later model like you mention.

Yes Perkins 1006.6T

They came to market in 1991 with the 125 and 145, both 80k and had the grey bonnet a 65k option was later available. The line up expanded to included a 150 for EU markets. I think it was around 93/ 94 they released a refreshed line up with the 135, 155 with the selectronic gearbox and moved to yellow bonnets. The flagship 185 was added some time after which had a Cummins engine.

Awesome, thank you Jamie

145 manic ponies 😀

Hi what work f do did you do in her, it’s great to learn about her history. She’s had 10 former owners!! She will be out doing a bit as a hobby not a livelihood. I’m going to try the odd show and see how we get on with it.

I was really unsure about it, whether I should get it coated to look like the original. I’ve had a few comments on it now so it was right to leave it stainless. I bought it from Arms Plant, he has them made up.

Thanks Jamie

All repaired, the doors needed a lot of work. Loads of pics on her facebook page facebook.com/fastrac005/

@@fastrac0055 it's a beauty. Gotta say, it sounds awesome coming out of the shed! You should be proud

@@carlstevens4981 thanks Carl yeah I’m chuffed to bits with her

@@fastrac0055 I bet. I've got a 1135, it's done 13,000 hrs. Of it wasn't so reliable and trustworthy. It'd get a overhaul. But it's still cracking on. Pumps starting to play up. But it's all still original apart from the tyres 🤣

@@carlstevens4981 good tractor, I had one of the first when they were launched. Apart from the mirrors being in your face every time you open the door 🥲
