JC Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Looking at those perished tyres, I would say that is a vintage model of Nigel's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 thats a nice little number isn't it,did wonder if you had one mark,i think its based on a 4wd one i saw a while back,not sure who made them but they do pop up on ebay from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Looking at those perished tyres, I would say that is a vintage model of Nigel's. I think your right FP, i have mentioned to him about modern convos but scaledown keeps him busy so he doesn't have the time, i'm sure he'll confirm that, but what a lovely model, we are all missing out on a lot of potential.

NIGEL FORD Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Looking at those perished tyres, I would say that is a vintage model of Nigel's. They're supposed to be MICHELIN PILOTE AGRICOLE LGP to match the rears but they were quite old when I fitted them. We had some on the rear of our DOMINATOR 80 when the original 3 ribs packed up, they certainly left less of a mark for direct drilling the stubbles. We also had some on the front of the '75 4600 safety cab for loader work again leaving less ruts when bale loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Look at it!!! Right down to the diesel cap and everything... A 390T with a 915 loader would be nice ***Does the Marky trick of one knee only this time it's done in prayer!!!*** It is a cracking rep of the real thing. Does it have realistic linkage or Britains/Siku type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I recon NIGEL should think about making a limited line of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 that looks to be a really great model ,nice to see the earlier black & red cab on it as well :) :) the front tyres look like someone mugged a formula 1 team :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Black and red ummmm another britains missed opertunity \ :'( i know they cant make every model but this sort of thing would have been a winner im sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS for the linkage, I can't remember, I'll go & have a butchas...........similar style to Britains but longer projections ( yes I can actually find this one! ). The basic model was the 4wd one that I had about 30 of years ago when they were available from Massey agents ( but then only those in the know ) with the silver cab. I wanted the square wheels (centre dish) of it for my silver jubilee FORD 7810 so decided on the lgp early livery for this reinstatement.Thanks for all the appreciation....more welcome though...

Guest Fendt pwr Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Very nice model of a very nice tractor. My self I like the gray cab beter but a wee gem all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 So if its from a MASSEY FERGUSON dealer its not a britains convo but could it be done in that livery out of a britains MF 362 and something else as for the front wheels being off a scalextric im sure ive seen them on a early 80s mini cooper-'s that scalextric did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Surly a 362 would be way too small IM885 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 i was thinking of just using the cab and floor pan extending the bonnet by clueing two together or something i dont know if the bonnet tapers probebly would i think the bonnet would be the hardest thing to do and the top of the cab as the 362 cab had the hi-line type if im not mistaken please dont numpty my spelling mistakes as im in tears from marky's girlfriend 1.0 and mistress 2005 software joke ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
