[B O R]

ill hopefully be getting to improve this 880 soon....i done my 900 some time ago and will be doing the same kind of work to the 880 in time...new steering axle,driver,barrells and god knows what else will be improved along the way

[B O R]

she'd pull it fine, our old tl100 went an pulled a neighbours jf 955 powered her no bother only problem couldn't see for a cloud of black smoke 

[jakescot]

ive nearly enough taarup gear to do a field demonstration

thats something we never see in layouts is it...get the flag poles up and some cars parked .I can see it all coming together (in my head at least)       

great models too the  high quality of your builds continues

[B O R]

the mex vi would send the 2140 to an early grave.................but not when you have a PERKINS 6354 fitted

[B O R]

stolen froma mf 2680.....perfect engine as the customer who owns it has the real deal,identical to this

[B O R]

thered be some roar from this when working

[B O R]

built these a pair and just completed them ,the one with no engine is now for sale

[B O R]

after see,ing the pictures of the real one i was very impressed at how proffessional the job was...the upper drawbar was cut and the whole engine sits on the lower drawbar thus leaving a straight driveline from the flywheel...........i have also fitted the battery as per real one,complete with battery leads

[B O R]

here is a picture of the real one,you will notice how professional the job is................the forager must have been partly or all repainted after the engine conversion was carried out,i think this because the new engine and bonnet etc are now pottinger colours and the rail over the reel would originally been yellow in colour,so my model is based on the pics i was given and i followed them faithfully.....

[B O R]

and here is a sneak preview of my next job....a ACTIV M combine from early 60,s......was lucky enough to find a real one so paid a visit last week and measured it all up and took a "few" pics to help me in the build

[B O R]

another picture.....ive this machine all jotted out now on paper,and grinding it round in my head to prepare me for the build ahead

[jakescot]

is that  an old volvo???? there was a guy round here had 2 of them ,looked just like this one......

[jakescot]

is that the same as  an old volvo? ??? there was a guy round here had 2 of them ,looked just like this one......

that engine on the drawbar is very smart............6 pot  perkins power 

[B O R]

the combine is an activ m.................the perkins mounted on the drawbar in this way would provide the maximum hp straight into the machines driveshaft,there would be no power loss whatsoever.....id love to hear this machine in action and listen to the big perkins growling as the sward gets heavy,a massive relief on the tractor at silage making time

[Light Land]

That chooper with it's own power is totaly sick.Did NH not make a few balers factory fitted with there own power unit?

[B O R]

i honestly wouldnt know about new holland balers man......there was very few forage harvesters factory fitted with engines as far as i know,cant remember ever see,ing a factory fitted engine to a forager.....maybe someone else out there does?
