1972farming

Better now that I have silver/grey decals. MF 130 to follow soon.

That trailer looks the bizz Marky,I also love the 65.

The only problem I am having is with the width of the bonnet and grill. Its a bit narrow really but it looks OK i think. Because its a bit on the small side it doesn't come down low enough at the front which is why I have fitted a piece from the corgi at the bottom of the grille. I will try a britains grille ,I may be able to cut it down on width ? \

Tam is right,its a corgi bonnet. I will finish it off and see how it looks.

Just messing around with a siku te20 again and thought it might make a ford 2000.Just close one and squint with the other and it looks OK ! Also thinking that the chassis could make a bmc mini or leyland 154.

Yes ,I removed the strips. If you are careful and very lucky you can get them out with a very fine knife edge like a scalpel.They are usualy brittle though so take care.On mine ,the steering wheels were broken off so I split the castings which meant that I could push the strips out from the inside.Hope that makes sense,its one of those things which is easier to do than to explain.

I would like to think that they are worth a bit ,mind you I have paid a bit for them. I would hate to sit down and work out how much they have cost. I could have bought a nice real tractor for the same money !

While I was sorting out my Fordsons I found this little fella hiding in the corner. Hes the only massey I own now.

very nice work sean

wow That is superb.

Thanks Marky ,I will see how I get on.

I will make the next one in grey.

I've often seen the older ertl jd tractors at toy fairs and never thought about buying them to convert.They look a treat .

Thanks guys.

I know the tyres you mean now,but sadly I don't have one of the early vehicles with that type.

I was thinking of more brown on the sides of the trailer but I now think it looks OK as it is.

Thanks,I need to give the trailer another coat of paint.

I built this after seeing it in one of Markys pictures. Is it a massey trailer ?

Jeepers Marky,give me chance ! By the end of the week I reckon. The decals arrived today so I can get on now.

I think that looks excellent,I haven't ever thought of doing JD convos but I may give one a try.

Got hold of another te20 to butcher today. Heres the before and after in one shot. This ones going to be a 2135.

No,all of the e27ns have quite fat tyres.How skinny are the skinny tyres then ? \

I bought the cabs off Udimore Barry,he may be able to help you out

The 2 Fordsons are original but the 5000 supermajor is a repaint I did about 3 years ago.

Yes please Mark,before long I will have more Massey pictures than you !!!
