nathan Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 not sure about the loader or try a valtra loader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I love it!! That's a great conversion and really makes that tractor look a whole new machine. Cracking job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice work, but the Britains 6180 bonnet is a bit short, badge it up as a 6150 and your spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 i've got a few 6140 bonnets so i might do one of them i did try it before this bonnet and that looked good to just running out of the 6290 cabs now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 best get some 6150 decals , always thought 6180 bonnet was to short ,but how short? not sure on lengths but the 6180 bonnet is right for a 4cylinder model, far too short for a 6 pot engine i must say it looks a fab conversion, paint the loader and it will look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 If this is to be based a UK 61 series it wouldn't have been all too common to have had a front linkage, especially as a loader tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britains 6180 bonnet needs lengthening by approx 10mm for an accurate 6180, but is spot on for a 4 cylinder , eg. 6150. Makes you wonder if britains measured and tooled up for a 6150, then decided to change the decals to a 6180, without changing the mouldings.

No , 6180 and 6190 are physically the same size, just a horsepower boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
