thanks mate,I was just pleased to be able to use up some bits left over from other jobs. They do look OK though.

Lovely work again :)mate,well done.

thanks johhny.

I was wondering which axle you had used Very effective.

Well done,looking good mate.

Rear end

I have just finished this job for a customer. It started off as a tired Crescent Fordson Dexta. I have fitted Britains John Deere 4020 rear wheels,made an exhaust ,air cleaner and fitted a ploughing light,pto and hook to the rear. I am pleased with it and may do one for myself one day. Hope you like it .

I prize mine off with a small screwdriver. I go a bit at a time at the end nearest the steering wheel. The bonets are fitted with 2 pegs onto the engine block. Hope this helps,good luck.

Very well done Sean. I have just come across this post and I am speechless. You should be very proud of yourself,its a work of art.

I do have a soft spot for the old massey stuff. I remember following my mates Dad around the hay fields. He was a local contractor with an MF 65 and MF baler with sledge and we had to stack the bales for a perry loader. They were great times,we were so lucky to be able to go and do that after school on the summer evenings.

Great post marky,thanks for sharing it the lovely pictures. Those old brochures of yours are wicked.

Excellent mate,well done .

Another great convo,well done .

It would be right up your street. I have quite a few sprayer parts as well but not the useful bits like booms !

Glad you are pleased withthe wheels,I will be listing more spares soon.

Glad you like it mate,4wd version is just around the corner.

Here you are folks,all three buildings with their boxes and one of my latest purchases. Hope you like them and take a look around my new ebay shop if you get chance. Plug Plug .

I am also working on projects to use up all of the leftover parts. One is for sale now and another is in the pipeline. At least I may stand some chance of getting some money back then .

Thanks to super6 I now have 3 of the unusual boxed robilt farm buildings. Heres a shot of the dutch barn with one of my spadelug fordsons. They are a bit small scalewise but nice anyway.

Thanks guys,its going quite well so far. I will be listing more soon.

Can somebody post up the link please ? I am hopeless

Heres http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140136376507&rd=1&rd=1 my first attempt at selling one,wish me luck . I bet this link won't work !

I will try to get a photo of it next to my lads afd 4020 to compare the scales. This one could perhaps be a smaller 3030 ? \

Thanks Gav. Its one of those accidental conversions which I sometimes build.

I am getting snowed under with JD 4020 parts so I thought I would try and do something with some.Its not finished yet and yes,I know,you can see its a 595 chassis but the more I do to it the more I like it.
