NIGEL FORD Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 That's the lorry air intake (Magirus-Deutz etc)...no one seems to have answered the "custom" exhaust question. I sell official MF Silver Mist metallic for those of you wanting the right silver for these when customising, its not so bright, more greyish. We use it on the new Leyland/ Brays.

Udimore Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Was the air filter/intake that small on that model 2720, i remember the mf 2685 that i drove and it was a lot taller? not picking holes as great work just curious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 i recon this tractor was one of the last great models to come from the older britains range I agree with you on that but you've improved them further..........superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 great work Marcus :) :) ...how did you manage to fit that in with the recent pedal tractor movies ;) : look foward to the next one! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 the turbo straight exhaust is a peice of single strand heavy duty electrical wire from cooker lead, bent into shape? & thats it .I have used this on a couple of fords as well & it doesnt look too bad . the polishing / grinding tool was a xmas present from the wife for just this sort of thing with my tractor hobby? ? (i nearly fell off my chair) As far as i can tell? it's part of the? workshop range from WOOLWORTHS , it is variable speed all sorts of grinding & polishing attatchments? but has no cutting tools for it ,so will have to find some parts soon. the bonnet was already shiney it was the old decal residue that was polished off as if you spend too much time trying to polish the plastic you take the glazed finish off . yes i think the 27's did have a taller air cleaner but will have to find a pic to be sure ,Marky can you confirm this (should never have given my leaflets away? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yes Marcus you are correct only the 27**'s had a pre-cleaner as standard - they could be ordered as an option on all models though for dusty conditions and they did suffer from Air Cleaner blockage in our area in dry years. All the USA models, however only has a mushroom as standard (in 1978 at least - just looked at the book) USA range at that time (for interest) was 2675 - 100hp - Nat Aspirated 2705 - 120hp - Turbo 2745 - 140hp - AV8 540 - NA 2775 - 160hp - AV8 640 - NA 2805 - 190hp - AV8 640 - Turbo - What a beast !!!

Lord Ferguson Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Now that is a tractor and a half - in it's time it was the biggest 2wd in the world - just think in 1978 it was 190hp - If I had the money I would buy one tomorrow (What for I don't know ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all the 2**5 had tall pre cleaners and all the 2**0 had the mushroom type? Thats only from what I have seen in my mates yard though, he has ten all in all.

robhendry Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 they look absolutely great. One thing that got me though about the decals and the glue-I've found if you use a hair drier on them first they come off without leaving those nasty glue marks-give it a go!

MJB1 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 finnished off the 27 today by adding the big pre-filter that sat up front of the bonnet with these tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Fantastic Marcus, a real treat. Now you gotta make a display board/setting for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Marcus - I'm sorr ymate I forgot to find you that picture you asked me for (2720) - looks like you did it anyway - Spot on from what I can remember mate as well - You wanna send that to me in the post to pull my 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Found a picture Marcus (of a 2725 - but same as 2720 for aircleaner purposes) - I was right - the pre-cleaner was offered as an option - other than that this stack type muchroom was the standard fitment. The pre-cleaner did have a venruti pipe from it to the exhaust pipe I am sure... - Hope this helps mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 thanks deer-est ? is that your phrase for today marky, 'spot on' :D :D ?that 200 drawbar ring's going to get some pounding if you want to keep hitching 100+ to it , i think you'll find the sales leaflet had the 2720 sporting a pre-filter & not the tower version like the one shown on the 2725 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
