Lord Ferguson Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hello Cameron... Welcome to the forum mate Do you mean a front grill protector like you usually see on a tractor with a loader fitted - If so I bet it would be quite easy to make - as for mounting it you'd have to ask one of the pro's on here. Good luck and don't forget to post some pictures when you have made and fitted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 welcome cameron,just found the best way was to play arround till i got the effect i wanted when i started,using different bits and bobs till i got there,if you get stuck,just ask any off us ,sure we can figure it out in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 if i were to start it now would any of you know what metal i will have to use it might not even have to be matal??? Plastruct is the ideal material, available from any good model shops and it comes in all different shapes and sizes. If you take a look at some of the models under the conversionssection you will see a wide variety of models made with this. F-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hello cameron welcome to the forum what tractor would you like to have a go at putting extra stuff on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 welcome!, yeah play around with plastruct, its cheap and easy to use, when you become more experienced etc. you could try the other materials like metals etc. try and get some pics up and we may be able to help more?

Cameron Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hello cameron welcome to the forum what tractor would you like to have a go at putting extra stuff on? i was hoping to put it as a front attachment on my nh ts135a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 would this bar go in front of the weights or would you have to take the weights off somehow ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 i have got dave towse's front linkage on it an i was thinking of making it on the siku adapter set somehow....if that would work?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 sounds good i would go for plastruct myself as for glue you might want to ask one of us(not me ha ha! ) or the likes of dave towse is this bar like what you might see on a old massy thats been adapted for shunting trailers around the yard by any chance if im right the bar had about ten holes going from end to end :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
