got a set of single crumblers on the back though jas

wanting to ask this for a while now ricky , what do you do with the rest of the cougars,(chassis, cabs,wheels) that go into these these convo's ? & the cougars arn't cheap , so im assuming that you can recover the cost as per usual , some hellish work gone into them for some great models :)

damn it sean it's not viagra i need it's a walking aid thats needed ,& keep going at this rate , i'll want old ford to build me a coffin ! :D :D

what's this all about \

you tried biggwoods @ walford cross dan , i know they used to deal when they were collins trailers ,but not sure about when they went AW you want the light green & not the dark i take it ? & theres always highwood in yeovil they not got any ?

you got any spare then mike :D :D \

as far as i know mart , if the datatronic is stuffed , it won't make any difference to the performance of the tractor itself , & 9 times out of 10 it just needs a replacement circuit board , & unlike 10 - 15 years ago it shouldn't be that expensive to replace.if you find that the hydraulics dont work one day , there's a reset button under the the cab on the n/s , thats not well known & have known many people waiting for someone to turn up just to press this magic button ! if the gear sticks feel very slack, look under the cab to the linkage & you'll see two square headed bolts that hold the sticks in place , these have tapered ends , a 10mm spanner , will get them out & if not too worn , bit of locktite will solve that problem if yer hydraulics , pto cut out & 4wd gets permanently engaged , a good whack with a 10 lb hammer on the side of the computer box (open o/s door & hit botton of cab )will solve the problem till it's sorted ! :D :D you shouldn't have this problem at this age though , (the one i drove was a very early model) \ quite honest mart the above happend with one tractor i drove , all the others were trouble free & performed well . :)

go for the autotronic mart , , i'd be surprised if you'd ever have the need for datatronic as this really comes into it'self when using sprayers , drills . & any other precision implements , thats why there are more datatronic tractors in the arable areas , than down here in the predomitaly dairy area. datatronic basically gives you information on hectares covered , fuel used , set wheelslip , etc,etc all handy stuff but not really of any use for the applications you want , of all the datatronic tractors i've driven , i've never felt the need to use it

i recon that was a fantastic convo sean , but i wouldn't be content with the grill , i'm afraid, , id have to have the proper 3000 series gril to keep me happy , got some tim's wheel to let yoyu have so you can drill them out fr me as i keep making a complete balls up of them !, i'll bring thenm to toy _trac with the other stuff for you !!!

damn that was unlucky getting one caught up there :D :D

how about casting a new bonnet for the 6180 chassis ,so's a 3080 /90 is achieveable ? soon going to have andy with a post for , "MEETING WITH SEAN" armed with a list of 'please can you make' from everyone here :D

you have connected the pipes into the spools on the tractor haven't you ?

darn the boy done good again ! looks very well sean , but do you think the tipping ram is to close to the back of the trailer ? not much in the way of leverage to lift all the weight infront of it . , matter of fact it's rubbish , send it to me for dismantling , & build yerself another :D

will they be for sale separately ricky or just come as a pair ?

i would expect that it would be 40k mart as 40k was the 'in thing' to have , i don't know of many fitted with 30 in this area , if its possible go for the 16 speed , not the 32 , but eitherway , they're a good old bus

really depends on what people want sean ,i would expect that many people will be looking to just replace the complete 2000series cab as a straight swap so a one peice in my view would be good sean, if people are brave enough to want to fit it to a UH chassis , then they'd be brave enough to want to cut it to fit anyway . in doing this sean yer giving people the chance to have something britains didn't offer anyway

as it looks so far , just have the rear windows & the fuel tank to fit, & find some steps , the glass has been cut from a CD case m not the tidyest convo , but not many of mine are , but if i can get a reasonable result with it , seans going to be onto a good thing ! sean is the first to admit that the cast for this cab isn't brilliant , a few air bubbles , a rear work lamp & n/s door is a bit messey , but all can be put right i daresay , but then , this cab has also been sat on by the dog twice , breaking the cab pillars ! my efforts are messy but then i'm trying to recreate a tractor thats over 15 yrs old anyway :D

happy with the fit ,a respray was net , a white primer was uses , & the top coats were plastikote red & silver , the wheels on this tractor were white so they had a respray as well

seans floorpan is molded as a direct copy to the ROS original so the cast needed to be altered to sit right on the 26 base

been trying out something for sean over the last week or so & here are some of the results of his resin cast cab & floorpan for an MF 3600series . Unlike sean i have cheated somewhat , bu using the old floorpan as a base for the resin floorpan ,which for me makes it easier to mount onto the chassis , , sean may well try to cast this as part of the next floorpan for a straight swap onto an existing britains 26 / 36 chassis cutting the 26 floorpan down ready for use

try it you might like it , if it works out , you may well be surprised by what other brands have to offer, if you live in a predominately ford area the residual prices may be quite high for a while , but you'd have dealer availability to you advantage , still recon the 956 CASE IH is worth looking at, no electrics & a bomb proof engine

same for me , 8/10 but i can live with it may try to do what bampse did & get a rivit head to replace it to use as gps still better than a ford , the knobs usually sat in the cab :D

try some tims floatation trailer wheels sean they'd look a treat on that :) :)

really good to see the older girls cutting it with the best nowadays , , good simple uncomlicated machines . would be interesting to know the combined hours they've clocked up & apart from a tyre change , & treated well ,good for another ten years i expect ! great pic stan thanks

looks strange having a 3pt linkage that doesn't scream massey at you :D did Mineonapolis Moline only do the two tractors for massey the 85 / 95 super ?
