MJB1 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 for some of the newer younger members who may find their first conversion a little daunting here's a quick & easy first implement conversion to try you will need a britains flexicoil press & a britains bomford supa-flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 apart from the top link supports the main frame is cast the same on both models , with a small screwdriver twist the tines away & down from the supaflow frame & off they come. cut away the first flexi coil holders & replace with the first set of tines just by clipping them into place , the same applies with the mid section tines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 once both sets of tines are in place you're ready to go ! it really is that easy marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 See? I told you it would work Marcus. You were so worried about it on the phone but I see you listened to me and took my advice and did it. I knoew it would work really well. ... Ok, so I had no idea what you mean't really but it looks great and just by going through Farmers Weekly you see a number of this sort of thing. Not strictly a subsoiler but it's of a similar look to many you see about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 nice easy convo but could you not put the coil on the superflow so you got the top link still its a shame that was missed off the flexicoil. not really mate as the supa folw linkage was broken , i spose i could have cut the frame to re fix to the flexi coil frame . Oh Marcus... you are the master at this sort of thing.. I reckon EVEN I could make that... thanks for sharing you wise old owl you been waiting a year or more for you to do yer bl00dy massey version of the supa flow let alone mixing & matching different machines :D really good idea, i like it i have a few drags but dont fancy cutting up a flexi coil press i have a few spare flexi coil coils so may try to mount on a drag chassie, it may work, will ahve to see may not have to do too much cutting mike as it looks like the flexi coil side rails are slid along the sides of the mainframe ,so i think with a little encouragement they should slide off just leaving a green frame , the tines will also fit onto the flexi coil without removing either of the coils anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 great work Marcus, surprised no one else thought of it years ago considering there the same frame! :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 tried this out with a mint drag, end product dosnt look right a re spray should help, rear tines too close to the coil some how, may need to cut abit of side rail to move it back a few mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendthead Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I think that would look fine with the coil back a bit, maybe the large chunky ends on the coil could be shortned a bit.....bit of paint and jobs a goodun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 tried this out with a mint drag, end product dosnt look right a re spray should help, rear tines too close to the coil some how, may need to cut abit of side rail to move it back a few mm hmm doesn't look a very comfortable position for the coil to be mike , but thats where it'd sit on it's own frame , maybe the contrast of the green on the yellow makes it look this way. how'd you get on removing the coil brackets from the mainframe ? i found the flexi coil plastic to be a bit brittle compared to the supaflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
