B O R Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 i bought a broken britains vari width plough and decided to make a conventional 3 & 4 furrow plough,the original plastic frame was not right and had to be scrapped and a new brass one constructed with headstock and parking jack and new land wheel made,i thought i may have been easier than it was but the reason i made a brass frame was so that if the 3 furrow be fited to my 590 4wd that i had enough clearance to display the model in the up position...the tiny brass brackets to hold the top link on the plough itself were tricky to solder as there so small,burnt fingers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 the 3 furrow is a AB model with manual front furrow adjuster,the 4 furrow is a AD model with hydraulic front furrow adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 these were a popular plough around here,3 and 4 furrows,still to be decalled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 more,the land wheel on the 4 furrow is a atv wheel filed down at both sides to make it narrower(the things you think of) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 They are both lovely and it does pose the question as the why Britains never did one to get rid of that 'orrible set with the three furrow conventional and reversible in it. Nice work, how did you find the Britains die-cast metal to solder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Brian, when I win the lotto I'm hiring you as my personal model-maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 No Deerest i didnt solder the britains plough parts,i made all the brasswork 1st then positioned all the plough beams,then drilled holes through the metal just below the leaf springs and through the brass and then inserted pins through the frame after filling with araldite,im a great believer in strenghtening pins in all my models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 That are great ploughs you have made there. Will they fitt in a siku hitch? Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 havent tried them o a siku hitch yet,the fittings on plough are britains so should,but sometimes i find you need the tractor arms made of plastic so you can stretch them onto the implement then fit them in place when in position,the sikus are metal and would be a tight fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
