MuirHillyBilly Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 I found an old broken Britains cultivator so gave it a muddy once over and stuck it on the Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuirHillyBilly Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 So I wanted to add an implement to the Ford and decided on a front loader. I purged the loader off a UH New Holland, repainted it and made a bottom holding plate (the old holding arms would not fit) to fix the loader to. Once fitted I had to calibrate it to fit properly and then set about ageing and weathering it with hydraulic oil and mud paint. Let me know what you think, ere she is parked outside the workshop; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuirHillyBilly Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Cheers guys appreciate your comments, ordered some pumice to make a rear weight then I shall decide what model to age next Suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 So here is the rear weight. Pumice is surprisingly easy to work with, cuts well, is cheap, drilled easily and is nice and lightweight. Will have to make some more weight blocks for front and rears. Have removed the rear linkage which was way too big and replaced it with a custom one to hold the block, just need to weather the block now.

Would be interested to see if this Ford would sell, people like a little muddy spray but this is for the super authentic I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
