miker Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Christ, some engineering be done on this one! What are the wheels/tyres off of? They look right chunky. tris they are off various britains models mainly valmets but new holland, old renaults. massey 2680 are all the same, yeah quite a lot of work involved, bonnet has been lengthened and built up, winch scratch built, about 6 hours so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 What your saying miker, is she is going to be an animal! Sounds ideal for a stand by in the maize fields if we have another year like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
