pbmoynan Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 the 3140 cab isnt too bad to start with but does need a fair bit of modifying to do it properly.would be an idea to cast it when finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stehos Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi Paul, great looking tractor so far. Here in The Netherlands there were a lot of farmers who bought an AP cabbed tractor. We had some 4610's with both AP and LP cabs. Might be tempted to ask the question... Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Can't wait to see this finished Paul, looking really impressive so far, here's a photograph of one i've spent many a happy hour driving on a friend's farm, it replaced a low profile cabbed 6610 about 4 years ago.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 that tractor is in some condition,what year is it? It's a 1988 F plate model Paul and is used everyday on my friend's farm. It's a great little run -a- about, has seen quite a few different implements on the back too, from a bale spike for bedding up to helping out at harvest grain carting. I have loads of photos of this tractor so without wishing to hi - jack your thread i'll post the rest of them in my tractor photo topic along with the older LP cabbed tractor. Keep up the great work mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 very posable those AP cabbed with the ertl JD secura cabs they fitted them to ..Fords ..JDs ..David Browns ..IH's dunno about any other tractors i think some MFs had them fitted in france but again i could be wrong the only difference between the fords AP cab and the others (which seem to be identical across the boad)is the bar on the door from the bottom door hnge to the door handle is taperd on the fords where as on the JD,IH's,DBs etc they have a straight bar looking good by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
