MJB1 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 pic 3; i used a nail as a strengthening bar & super-glued into the hole on the good plough,clamp & leave for 1/2 hr to semi -set i used loctite superglue. pic 4; when glue has firmed put a small amount of glue onto the other part of the frame & into hole & a small ammount onto nail ,push together, clamp & leave again for 1/2 hr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 pic 5; i'd already made a practice cut in the scrapper so the end needed tidying ,clean hole ,cut nail ,clue into place & file / grind down the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 the upshot of this is that i now also have a match plough for a smaller tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 That match plough would look better on my Roadless 75 mate Looks a simple enough conversion doesn't it. . . I have the older Lemken on my shelf so maybe if another crops up for a matter of pennies with the newer wheel I'll be covering some acres too!!! Nice tidy job, nice one.

MJB1 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 good job i'd been awake all morning as knowing my luck i'd have glued the last two furrows on the wrong way round :D best bit is ,that by cutting 5mm of the far end of the insert & turning th headstock it still fits into the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 excellent work Marcus :) :)!..good to see more people converting!.... and gives me a wider buying market! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Bloody hell Marcus.... fantastic mate... Nice plough conversion - and the match plough looks a treat behind the 362 as well - What a simple (well you make it look simple) conversion to do - and how effective as well !!! The use of the nail is something... that once again - I would never have thought of while I have a hole.... in my socks Spot on indeed matey - Now I WILL have to have a go at that one - looks the DB behind the 8280 as well - any smaller tractor (or even another brand... green) would be off the ground with that in the air - proper job that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Good job marcus looks like a good conversion I did a similar thing to marcus but with lemken and making it 8 furrows bit more of a workload for the 8280 it spends alot of carpet hours on i doubt in real life it could lift it even with a 10 ton linkage :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schw84 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 might lift it but could snap the tractor in half i saw that once with an older JD had a plough and press on the front too much aggression by the young operator and snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
