britains massey 7200 combine

[Paul Palmer]

could anybody tell me the length of the britains massey 7200 combine reel please,the picture is of the siku 7278 mf combine,its 18.5 cm long,i want to get rid of this nasty reel,it just looks c**p,or perhaps a reel off a britains new holland cr980/ 9080  cx 880/8080

[JoshParkinson]

The 7200 reel is 19.5cm, but the 7200's reel is worse than the 7278s, it has no fingers or anything.

i rebuilt the reel on my unboxed one a while back, and added opening tank doors,ladder hand  rails ect  but never cut the metal out below the tank doors, as its actually pretty dam thick, but right now i can not find a picture of it , its prob on the old laptop,

[Paul Palmer]

There you go:thankyou josh,cxjoe is kindly giving me a britains cx reel,so i can cut that to fit,thanks for the info though josh

come on sean dig them out

[Tractorman810]

will have a look, not on this lappy, and not on my photo bucket account either, bear with me a mo

[Tractorman810]

its actually a old convo i would not mind going back to now theres more parts arround and redoing, know of 2 ceras within 10 miles of eachother very close to me,

heres the reel i did

and the main machine

[CX820Joe]

Stunning! If you don't mind me asking Sean, what did you do to make the tank lids open/close?  I would like to have opening/closing lids on my CX820, rather than just taking the plastic open tank top off and on the combine!

[Tractorman810]

just plasti card joe, with brass rod for the hinge, had to make a frame as the britains cast isnt flat on top, its ridged ,hence why i wanted to cut the tank out, but at the time it was not possable / beyond my skills ,times moved on since mind, so who knows, it may get a remake sometime

[Paul Palmer]

brilliant sean,so did you just vamp up the reel or is it off another model,the 2 cereas ,were abouts sean,i know of one but thats out near where i work,merton way other side of okehampton,picture of it last year

[CX820Joe]

After your Lely masterpiece Mate, I don't think anythings beyond your skills!

Thanks for that, I'll see if I've got the right stuff and have a try at doing a similar thing - won't be cutting anything out of the metal, haven;t the tools/courage!

[Tractorman810]

revamped/ partially rebuilt, it came minus the reel anyway, in a scrap lot, the other ceras, i know of are, the farm on the left just outside landrake village, liskeard bound, and the farm just outside liskeard, on the right, just by the new hotel / travelodge they built , both are fully massey kit tractors wise to, thinking about it, theres a 3rd out the back of callington, treburley way to and i have a feeling theres a 4th, on the road between st germans and torpoint, but havnt seen that this year, but did see a jd t550 in them fileds??? so who knows,

might have a drive around then tomorrow,last weekend free then im on harvesting myself,thanks for all the info sean

[Tractorman810]

the landdrake and liskeard ones are both out working, landrake goes out the back towards where they do the motocross, quethiock way,  the liskeard one will prob be down the menheniot lane ,the one right by the cottage just as you join from the liskeard slip road plymouth bound, thats where most of their land is

take a look at the small farm in landrake on the right to, hes got a lovely mix of a 390t and loader, mf 135 and flexi cab,  a jd 3?   and a volvo/valmet 705,  ,used to have a ford 7610 to, have a feeling he uses the landrake mf to on contract, so check up that rod

[Paul Palmer]

thanks sean

[WillTEF20]

Here is my attempt at making mine more realistic. Its no where near as good as Seans!!

[Paul Palmer]

nice will,opening grain tank lids and can i see a pto shaft on the header

[Tractorman810]

nothing wrong with that will, at least you got the pto shaft on unlike mine ;D ;D
