IH885XLMAN Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 the white one on the top of this page was manufactured in around 1980 but maybee its just me but it does look like it could have been a early 40 series looking at the bonnet but i have had a couple of jars today \ :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Love the cab on the doe Nigel and the exhaust is a lot better, ;) Is that all you've noticed?..... What about correct era FORD wheels with 8 stud fixing (not the 6 on MY Fordson wheels NOT Brian Normans). sidelights, correct front end badgeing...... I won't go on I know Bill too well!

Ok, on taking a second look you might have a point like the cap on the bonnet, lots of finishing detail, those wheels are nice your right.

NIGEL FORD Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The 8401 is the only tractor that FORD Australia made for themselves. Curiously they didn't take the 8210 but put a TW15 (Ithink) engine to a 7710 back end with no hydraulics (though they were an optional extra). The rest of the ford range was sold as per the rest ot the world. Not made for long I have original literature showing this colour scheme & another with light blue in place of the orange.

NIGEL FORD Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The mans name is Bill Richardson Jason... I will PM anyone his number if they want it - I did promise him and his wife I wouldn't post his addy or number on the forum as he looked a little aprehensive when I asked if I could post his pics on FTF - he has a fantastic workshop in his house and makes just about everything himself... wheels are from Brian Norman I did try to recruit him to FTF but he has no PC sadly - he's in his 70's so he's not keen on computing I'm sorry to say.

Eurodeere Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Two superb conversions Nigel. Any info on the fabrication of the fritzmeyer cab? The 8401 model looks to have some Italian (treveglio) origin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Just thought I'd revive this post for some of the nuwer members... found it whilst searching for some pics of Bill & Jeans shop... reckon they must have been lost in the trim down \ Take a look at Bills Doe conversion on page One - I don;t like Fords (as you know)... but they really are a work of art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
