hi everyone

this is the first time i ever have e-mailed here so here goes!

i have never made a conversion before so could any of you please tell me all the tools and stuff i might need to make one.

What do you fancy doing??

Best to start off with something simple.

i was planning to make something i have seen on my mates tractor.

all it is, is a bar that goes on to the front of his tractor when he is pulling a trailer

something very simple..............i hope

good start would be a tractor & a bar :) :)

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. ;)

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

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?  ???

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  :'(
