FNHIR Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Having seen David's excellent Moffett, it got me thinking - what if you were to get the Valtra forestry tractor, put large wheels on the front, put the TM165 bonnet, cab and mudguards on it and then the rear loader, would you have something approaching a TV140/145?

towse trading Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 hi all ready thought of that before the moffett , it is not that simple , i still have the tractor ( well 3 tractors ) in bits to look back at it .. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 would a county axle on the front make it work better? I have no idea what the TV140 looks like so I might have lined myself up for a certificate here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 hi all ready thought of that before the moffett , it is not that simple , i still have the tractor ( well 3 tractors ) in bits to look back at it .. dave hey all, I have also been trying this (Dave, I emailed you about this a while back ) the proportions of the bonnet are wrong, I've found the real things cab and bonnet sit higher than you can reasonably achieve on the valmet chassis, I created a polymorth front axle to test this, and haven't fully given up, but its not easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 ok now ihp stop using big words we don't understand ,what the hell is a polymorth front axel when it arround????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 its a thermoplastic that becomes pilable at 70 degrees, so you can mould it into whatever shape you like, and once it reaches room temp it will have set as hard if not harder than most plastics out there now. So you can quickly prototype shapes and experiement with fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Cool. Where can you get that stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ebay, model shops etc, I got mine through the university, if you can find a uni with an external site, they usually offer the best prices on the stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
