Tractorman810 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 now that looks much more like it mate, well done, oftern wondered why britains didnt update the wheels on that model like they did with the 5610, looks so wimmpy on them origoanl wheels for a big tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 top job pere , looks so much more than what it was bit of a strange choice for britains to release the volvo into the uk toy market , as very rarely see one about if at all , the first i saw a real one was at the royal show , the only others have been the 805 type models , great reputation behind these tractors though. still have mine in it's box , dont know how much it's worth , & never really understood why it holds such an attraction for me , never driven one , nobody has one working round here , but have kept it MIB ? great modification to it , may even buy a breaker to try one meself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 great improvement there. Was the 2654 ever sold in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
