SHAWN Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Was just wondering what was the first model tractor you converted , Mine was a britains ford 6600 about 10 years ago, just thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else started on . Heres a couple of pictures ; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 britains mf 595 added number plate and cut the cab so the back window opened about 30 years ago,so no pictures of that!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 at a guess more than likely a britains 595 into 4wd, deutz axel job, but has to be a good 30 years back?? maybe a little less, so no pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAWN Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Sounds like you've both been converting for quite some time now , have you still got the models ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I wapped some MF8280 wheels onto my JD 7920, then made a few quid doing them for my mate who had about 4 of them:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 This was my first conversion. Corgi D.B. 1412 to a D.B. 1200 with a Britains Twose rear digger converted to a D.B. digger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Mine would have been taking the mf stickers of a mf britains trailer, writing redrock on in biro and selotaping cardboard silage sides and tail door onto it. Ive come along way in the past 20 years ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj witch Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 took the back wheels of a jd7920 and replaced them with agri tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 took the back wheels of a jd7920 and replaced them with agri tracks Just go and rub my 7920 wheel change in then probably much better than mine though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Whilst i've never accomplished a "proper" conversion like some of the very talented model builders on the forum I did once glue the front wheels from a damaged Britains JCB Loadall to rear wheels of a Britains Renault 70.14 Herdsman to create a baby dual wheeled tractor for my carpet farm. Just now need to pluck up the courage and attempt something a little more involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBfan Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 love that db with backactor whats new there well my first scratch build was a db 1210 with sekura cab and loader made that about 5 or 6 years ago and by the way im 15 now was based on some britains deutz chassie and cab made out of a few britains mf 2680 cabs then the bonnet and mudgards were made out of 1.5 or 2mm tin and cud with a 4inch grinder and folded with a 8ft sheet metal folder not sure what the loader came off note i added the ford 5000 wheels last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAWN Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 BRILLIANT , if youre only 15 now and you made that 5 years ago, your very talented , keep it up , I like the grab made from the britains muck forks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmtoysDK Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Great topic:) Guess mine was adding dual wheels to a Britains Ford 5000 or 6600 with the help of rubberbands about 30 years ago, actually thats my earliest memory of playing farmtoys. It didnt survive though. Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorbob Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 the earliest i can remember is a britains 362 .. i put a front axel of a britains 135 to make it a 2wd..still got it on my model farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 i think mine would be making a 6930, out of a siku 6920s and 7530 chassis' early last year, missed my old 6920s though so i took that apart, and bought the 6920s back to life and the 7530 for spares as i had another as a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think the first proper conversion I did was probably this a Versatile 1156 Designation 6,the original was most definitely a toy, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
