brilliant john , seemed to have missed this , what a great topic , any more pics ? how come you moved away from massey for your prime mover?

good thinking robbo , that bonnet is right , will still need the older cab design to modify though , just looked through the brian norman catalogue & no joy , but maybe dave towse has some genuine parts

personally think it should be members own machines as we have the topic for our work drives in real talk tractors etc...

actually it's not a pillar drill it's a milling machine :D

certainly got you're work cut out there mate, apart from the wheels from the R6 stephen , theres very little in common with the tractor in the link he posted. i'm not up on my models at the moment , so unless there is a hurliman out there with the same shape to reconfigure you may have to mix n match to get this one done maybe the siku STEYR / CASE cs bonnet may be usefull , & the roof from a siku grimme sp potato harvester & a heavily modified britains lambo/same cabframe

really ? thats great , like mine ,or have you actualy got the roller bit sussed as well ?

great detail in the setup jez, looks very good :)

some outstanding work you've done there sascha, keep going , looking darn good

i really cant believe you said that ben \

just noticed the air intake on the bonnet johnny, not really seen that before any reason why this may be ?

some cracking pics mate the BM looks well all kitted out :)

thanks chaps had a great day , i got to drive a lorry for the whole day :D :D

so am right in saying , that once the hitch is right up & ready for towing you have to physicaly pin it into position bit silly saying that as none of my 168 parts are worn ! but the pins on the hook carridge where the chains should go have been ground off & the top yoke brackets are missing so it's just those that need to go on , but i may well just replace the lot with 500 series parts

ahh still should have come along rob seen a fair few of them before as well, like many of these show , you get the same old suspects year in year out but a few newer ones were there , & the prices of the parts were good as well & i think thats why i may now be a regular rumager no the FW wasnt there

well at least very little can go wrong with it mark , but it looks awfull & very cheap you sure the brackets wont fit to the top yokes ? if the brackets fitted , then you could attatch the chains direct to them , but i supose if it aint broke dont fix it

got a pic of the backend of your 410 handy mark ?

will have to sort through whats worn & what useable mate but a complete 500 series system would be good as was stronger but i really need the lift brackets more than anything as all the lowr parts are complete , so will probably replace the hook carridges as well

a 168 with a complete 500 series auto-hitch heavy duty lift brackets , bar lift, rounded hooks to fit with the round bar hook carridge, hook return springs on the inside of the bracket, & hooks hung the opposite way round to the 100 series linkage hook & hook carridge complete view of 500 series auto-hithc linkage on a 100 series tractor

this 168 has mixed & matched 100 & 500 series linkage notice the chains have been replaced with solid lift bars return spring on the outside of bracket, 100 style squared hooks & 500 style round bar on the hook carridge complete view of tractor, notice the 500series heavier duty lift bracket for the solid bar lift

marky asked me to post up the linkages from the 3 168's at shepton mallet ,, as my 168 hasn't got a complete set genuine 100 series linkage note the chains & pin block (missing from my 168) also the square bar in the hook carridge, the hooks are also squared off for compatibility linkage lift bracket secured to the top yoke by bolt & pin quite a narrow bracket view of the left hand side complete complete view

nice one john , now you just need to fuse a backend of a 35x to the front of the 135 to get it right :)

a wheel brace & jack for a real one & just pull for a toy one \

haven't got any pics of the top link or the pipe but will do at some point \

certainly has mark but one of them was brush painted , which looked very good , but when compared to the sprayed one , the difference was obvious to see

& this was the ultimate show stopper, bet you haven't got a brochure for this particular tractor marky :D
