Barry Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 After seeing Paul's 7810, i finally got around to making one, been on the cards for a while now...... 1. Cut two 5000 engines and rejoin to make the bigger 6 cylinder 2. Cut away the front of the TW Q cab and insert a new piece to get the front of the cab somewhere near right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come snuggle next to me little tractor, lets get to know each other, we can be friends, I think I love you, lets get married and have babies and..... \ Sorry...... Excellent work Barry, and thank you SOOOO much for showing how you did it, this is right up there on my [ever growing ] list of things to do.... I'm saving it for when I don't make a right hash of everything I touch [going to have a bit more of a practice on a green one first just to be sure ] and then I just HAVE to have one of these. Superb mate. Now, let's see it with something appropriate on the back.... maybe a Lely Roterra & Accord air drill combination.... or a nice old Salop 8t mono grain trailer, how about a Dowdeswell RotaSpreader.... oooh, the list is endless.... beet lifter.... anything, EVERYTHING..... I'm a little bit taken with this one.... I hide it well though don't you think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
