B O R Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Here is the result of a very complex tractor build..........a deal was done for some parts and a lot of parts were made....i converted an engine from a britains 2680,it need a lot of work to convert it to the 1000 series perkins used in the late type 399....parts made include mirrors, handrails,exhaust,air breather,a lot of the engine and a ford 7810 was used as a donor for wheels and mirrors and the outer turning part of the axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 last 2 pics for now........this was a very awkward and trial and error tractor to make......but now that its finished it was worth the effort i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 brilliant the best tractor conversion i've seen in a while absolutely brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 changes in the 399 from the rest of the range include 6 cylinder engine,2 steps instead of one,twin assister rams,step at left side cab front,longer mudgaurds and slightly higher cab position than the rest and theres a distinctive little bulge and cutaway bit out of the bonnets left hand side lower bonnet section.....it certainly makes a nice model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
