MuirHillyBilly Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 New project is up and running, the Valtra kept getting stuck deep in the woods so we need something with a bit more umph!! So we took off the (awful looking) wheels off the 1505 and stripped down the Valtra... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 We have one of the FW-60 that is undergoing a wheel upgrade so the old ones are going on the Ferguson, with a lick of paint of course I think it looks far better on these wheels.....

MuirHillyBilly Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Looks great so far Lee, what wheels you putting on the big ford? On the look out for some Trelleborgs, our man in Germany let us down at the last minute, he only had 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 So we managed to get the winch/hi-ab linkage sorted after some significant modifying. The plinth and guiding arms support the grab arm. Also cut down the exhaust to make way for a new end pipe. I think it looks well, still lots to do though, what do you think?

An Interested Spectator Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Nice work. Can't be many of these in 1/32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Cheers chaps, I've never seen one of these, I was going to do a County logger but then thought the MF1505 has an ideal area of space on the back. A few more pictures of the equipment used to carry out the conversion (kindly supplied by HLT and painted by my not so fair hand ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
