powerrabbit Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well, it surprised me to find that if you just slide it down over the bonnet and slide it back, the rear lugs slide under the cab and the front underneath where the 'horns' are on the frame will sit reasonably tight on top of the front axle and the whole loader is fairly firm. Whalla! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Also the correct brand to be sprayed red and decalled as a MF 915. .. Looks good proportion wise. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 thats good , spray her up then Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Think I'll leave it as it is. You see a lot of tractors with different make loaders on them so it will be something just that little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhysmassey135 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 That looks nice my sort of conversion to with no drilling, cuttin or glueing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 That looks very smart Tim... and I think the 62 series Massey is one of Britains' better models of recent years, one of the very few that is actually good without doing anything to it. Top work that man. One question... someone will know this, were the bits that are orange on the model white on the original Faucheux loader when bought as an machine in it's own right?

powerrabbit Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I will offer the loader up to other tractors as well to see what they will fit and how they look on them. I will do this on other Britain's tractors only as I don't want to spoil any of my others. It looks the part on a New Holland TS135A as well but the tractor will need very slight alteration to accept the loader. Freind of mine has the real tractor with this type of grey loader on it so I think it would be 'in keeping'. Thanks chaps for the comments on it, it's always nice to have a bit of feedback and as they say, the best inventions seem to be the simplest ideas.

powerrabbit Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Just been playing around with the second of these loaders and came out with this. These loaders were fitted to Renault tractors so I thought I would dig out my spare Britain's Renault 145-14 from 1987 and see if it would fit. It does. Same as on the MF, no cutting, no drilling, no glueing. Mate of mine just out the road from me has a real Renault 103.34 from the mid 90's with one of these loaders. I think myself that this probably looks better than the MF 6280. Only downside is that I had to remove the exhaust unit from the tractor to fit the loader but with a little more thought I reckon I can modify an exhaust and replace it.

Paul Palmer Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 great work, what model did the loader come off ,paulali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beginner Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 nice work! Isn't that the loader of a renault ergos (universal hobbies)? I tought minitoys.fr sells them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yes, these loaders are from the Universal Hobbies Renault Ergos. I better be careful though in showing these loader 'conversions' as everyone will be after loaders and I won't be able to get any. Still, that's what this is for, sharing.
