smallclaas Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Donate or sell them to a good converter. Get someone to but a bit of life back into them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masher124 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Farmer - Yes Powertstar - As far as i can remember no cabs or exhausts but otherwise complete with good plastics! Deere-est - Just picked myself off the floor as i fell off the chair with laughter! Small claas - I am quite a good converter, although only done 2 ,but lots of restorations - as i am not from farming background i am looking for conversion ideas,not to increase anybodies nett worth!!! All joking aside lads im willing to consider swaps or sales of bits as i have loads of models i could resore , but my greatest joy is to enhance a model by converting & or superdetailing it. And hopefully growing the collection i have started for my Grandson at the same time.(He gets all my swaps currently Ford 5000 Force and super major, 6600 cabbed & rollbar versions, Fordson DDN, etc + ever growing farm animal and figures collection. Am looking forward to some serios carpet farming in my dotage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have complete 2 mint powerfarm versions which i will be selling with my powerfarm tw35 soon on ebay- the incomplete ones have broken flails and missing tops. They produce a nice cheap conversion when repainted and decaled for a different manufacturer, fetch good money too!! I should take up the other guys offer!!!

JC Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 He has. So what you are actually after here is for us to inspire you or tell you what they can be put to good use for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masher124 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 ok mate have you a complete cab for a mf 2680/3680 by any chance? Sorry no if i did i would be restoring a few my self- they are the most expensive repro part to buy after all - ?6.00 ea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masher124 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 He has. So what you are actually after here is for us to inspire you or tell you what they can be put to good use for?? Both - i have tractors with no cabs - cabs cost and you are hard pressed to recoup your costsif you sell on with some marks. I want to restore and or convert to sell to fund restorations to keep for my grandson. He gets my swaps - i cant afford to pay to restore just for him. I got about 7 fords that wiill cost about ?100 to restore and none will be swaps. Cash flow is key!! - i am prepared to swap or sell some bits to further this aim I have corgi, matchbox ,dinky, siku, ertl, crescent and lonestar farm stuff as well.

JC Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I have a couple of repro 595 cabs (brand new) that I'm happy to swap for ford 6600, TW20 or 7710. I might be interested in some Renaults or 3680's if the wheels are clean and in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robhendry Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Why don't you sell a few bits on ebay, I've sold a couple of scrapyards and they seem to do very well, plus you'll make a bit of extra cash for buying something new to convert!
