I can imagine how irresistible it must be for kids who want to pick them up- nearly succumbed myself at Toytrac, almost a reflex action when I see a model tractor
Brief visit to Lister Wilder in Cirencester, lots to see including-
Fendt 930 & 933 Vario (huge!)
MF 6260, 6290, 6465, 6480 & 8480 Dynashift, MF 8937 telescopic.
Merlot p32.6
Kubota B2110
& much more besides. Might take a few photos next time I'm there.
Beautiful work, such detail on Leverett's farmyard in particular, and not too crowded! (Not sure about the sky backdrops though, looks like it's on a clifftop! \ )
Is that a post hole basher in photo 8?, I need a close up!
Oil drums in the next photo look familiar..
From what I can see these layouts are even more accessible than the ones at Toytrac, you can really get close. Lovely stuff.
Just looking at your convo pics; that looks the business Sean. The 4020 is such a nice tractor though I wouldn't want to tear it up!
Hm looks like I'll have to split the fiat to get the front axle out
I'm trying to make a rowcrop tractor from an old Fiat 880 halftrack.
I've removed the little chunky tyres from the original in the hope of replacing them with the old ribbed 2wd tyres, or something similar, but none have so far fit the original Fiat axle. It seems to be the same telescopic axle type as you find on all the old Britains Fords and Masseys; all were made in the 'narrow' position (I thought it might look better having them the same width as the rear tyres).
What is the best axle with an 'extended beam'? The axle on the modern Ford 5000 looks about right but doesn't seem to be attached to the main casting with a pin, as many of ther old Britains front axles are.
The MB trac front looks about right but I don't want to pull mine apart to find out \
