IH885XLMAN

These are all the models britains missed out on in the 60s anx 70s john you rock man 

Looks like a versitile tractor cab in the drawings john  i havnt got my glasses on so bare with me please

Think how many old britains budget MF 595s could be converted if we could use that bonnet 

Well done replicagri niw please do a doncaster built 85 series xl tractor please

Il buy 2 one for a duplo britains cab like on the 135  with front end loader the other for a more common siroco cab 

I shall be following avidly

Come on britains do the classic MFs Fords Leylands dbs oh and some ihs ha ha!

We have 3 years to ftfs 20th that would be a good party

On ebay the bubble cabbed 7600s are commanding stronger money  but i dunno if this will go up  

Hey has anyone got a mfm ih 885 xl that he did like 15 years ago i seen it in the flesh at spalding also in classic tractor nag a month after but never agsin 

Cheets nigel

Well did u see the price the origionsl bubble cabbed 6600 were making last year ???? Over 120 for one 

Naghty not to buy 3 in a trade box i thought to myself  give them 10 years or so  mark my words  

Lets use her (the forum) well  wear her out between now and next spalding i miss the good olde days

Used to love the banter on here numpty of the day ect .....

Marky never did get the virtual ploughing match up and running ha ha!

Good god i wish they would do 

The 85 series 

Sorry for the late reply  nice to see people still use it hopefully see a few of you at the spalding  springfield show if theres one in 2022 spring or autum 

Il check the quality  if there sealed there sealed no need to break a seal ha ha! 

Any reputable rerailers out there willing to sell an opend box out of a certain batch number as im interested in purchasing one but not off the said ones who open the boxes  if you know what i mean

Britain's heritage 

IH 574 hydro and IH 674 

I bloody wish 

Can I please ask for measurement and dimensions for this cab for a IH 434 thanks nigel

That's a cracker 

Very nice looks best as a 2wd as those grilles were originally for 784 684 2wd u would need a 484 grille for the 4wd version so it's Bob on in my book

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out Nigel, is yours going to be 4wd?

No John I've tried to cast a new different rear wheel to go on my IH 275 using  the rear centre wheel off a atlas editions Ted 20 and using the front tires off a if Britain's 956 4wd would go well but look at all the flash the mould leaves behind ...might dremmel it off I dunno ha 

The 165 I would lengthen the height of a Britain's 135 rear fenders to fit the 165/595 chassis the bad part is how to make a good bonnet and nose  cone  for a 165 the one in the above pick is the best I've seen home made hate a 1080 uh or martyrs farm models 165
