Deere-est Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Is that the Tim one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Is that the Tim one? yes tim body work on britains deutz chassis . not rocket science but quite effective . Theres a lot to do yet like beacons ,mirrors ,steps etc etc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Chassis change aswell, I thought it was just the Deutz wheels. Looks pretty good in all fairness. As it is when it is in the box it looks completely wrong scale but with what you have done it does look alot different. To be honest, for a 'not rocket science' conversion that is pretty sharp looking Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 I am glad you are pleased with your Masseys Marky . They were the first time I had tackled anything a bit out of the ordinary . I know where I can improve things a little bit here and there and may try to make a 175/178 or similar . I may build one with a duncan cab . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
