Fenside MF Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Started two mf 700 trailers last week this is my progress so far. Silage version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Take no notice of the wheels as these are just the size of wheels I'd like to fit to them. And on the grain version I broke the rc2 chassis when taking the body off the original model so I had to half scratchbuild the chassis.

Fenside MF Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Thanyou Sean and BOR hopefully get the grain trailer all filled and sanded for painting soon and I can enter the harvest comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 whats the rear wheels you have fitted on the silage trailer then?? they look quite good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 erm think they are siku ones as they were knocking about in the spares box got some vanto style ones being made for me though. Plus I put on new smaller plastruct axle holders to get the wheels closer to the body like what old massey and pdh did on there rc2 trailers.

Tractorman810 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 mmm might try some vantos on one, have 4 sets here, they do lower the trailer and still look right on it i must say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks for the replies lads and I have some blue soon for udi I've got both painted up now and got my new vanto style wheels from mb trac last week which he designed and had cast for me. The wheel centre is white metal with a black flexible rubber resin tyre with an awesome tread pattern Brian put on them. Just done a quick mock up on the silage trailer just fitted on with new brass axle rod and wheel spacers, still got to paint the wheels yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Cool! A nice job of the wheels Brian has done and they complicate the nice job you've done on the rest of the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 have to say thats a good build mate & those trailer chassis are weak , so probably best you rebuilt it ! wheels also look good , although they do look awfully small on the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 decals the ones i seen have 1 'massey ferguson' decal in centre of tail board & same on head board 1 'massey ferguson 700' decal on sides on setions nearest front pillars ah found this just click on the pic to make it bigger , sorry only pic i could find at the moment & if yer wondering why it's green it because they have a green tractor , well they have a 6480 now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
