MJB1 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 well as you all know britains went cheap on the 3680 by using the 2000series cab & floor-pan . i've now changed this by doing what TM810's done & fitted a 3000 series cab from a ROS 3070 tractor ,i've still got windows & to black the wings to do but it doesn't look too bad .

Lord Ferguson Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Lovely job Marcus... doesn't that make all the difference as well - Ummm my little Ros is sitting in the corner shaking now... looking at me out of one eye... ummm - I feel my first tractor convo coming on I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 for the sake of ?6.50 it'd be just as cheap to get sean to do one for you ,that way your collection stays safe . i think i may try putting the wheels from whats left of the ROS onto a 362 if they'll fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 well if i do try the 362 option i'll be sure to post it , i just wish i could get the finish to be as good as 1972F's stuff \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 very nice marcus,hope you do well with the glass,the rear ones the worst to do as it is angled at each side,took me 4 attempts before i had a version i was happy with,i just scrored the plastic down the centre marks where the opening bit would be,then bent the sides in and cut with a very sharp knife,biggest prob is the fact they tilt top to bottom with the pannel ,so you'll need to play about till it looks right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 TM i did the front window with a peice of laminated plastic & the rear window from an old tic-tac box as the folds were already there ! it just needed trimming ,it's a bit wider than i'd like but it works . the best thing obout using the old floor -pan is that the whole cab comes off just like before here's some pics : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Phwooooar!! Thats fanbloodytastic!! You make it sound so simple to do aswell. Havn't got either model in the collection but the 3680's seem easy to come by so if I can get a Ros tractor too. Like the idea of the Tictac box too, you cetainly find all the tricks Marcus. Looking bloody good mate, the in situ snaps with your cultivating kit make it look all the better!!! I want that one!! (Andy stylee!!)

Tractorman810 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 that rear screen is a tic tac box,never spot on mate,will use one of those for my up coming 3 series convo now,never thought of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Smart conversion. Like the front ballast. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I have to say Marcus... that is the best modern conversion I have seen on here to date - you make it SOUND simple to do as well - TicTac box is a marvelous idea that I wouldn't have thought of in a million years... Thing is Marcus.... What next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 i see the cheque arrived marky :D :D as for whats next ,you know what i was going to attempt but my cackhandedness sort of put a stop on that \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 well done marcus looks very nice any more in the pipeline or have you run out of tic-tacs :D :D :D was going to put the wheels from the ros model onto a 362 but i've buggered the wheels up \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 lovely conversion mjb1 and nice set up, i plan on doing something like that when i get the time cos the cab currently onthe 3680 drives me mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 :D :D was going to put the wheels from the ros model onto a 362 but i've buggered the wheels up \ You'll have to review your tac-tics then :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 it would be nice sean but that would mean sacrificeing the lift lever to have larger wheels on a fixed bar unless you can re-drill the ROS wheels to the same diameter as the original 362 rears to use the same fittings & even then i'm not certain they'll fit You'll have to review your tac-tics then :D :D how did i know that was coming :D whats even more annoying is i had a look at a pic of markys 3070 in bennyv78 topic of his 3080A & that ROS 3070 has a windscreen & a back window factory fitted \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
