Valley Axe Man Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Here's a few pics of my 1/16th Ford 4000 Conversion, built for Lanark 2011, Its based on a UH 1968 Ford Force 5000, that has been cut and shut down to 3 cylinders, then the bonnet shortened down to suit, a cab and floor pan were dropped in place after being donated very kindly by a broken in transit UH Ford 7000, and then the rear wheel centres taken out of the original 5000 wheels and dropped into a pair of Fordson Power major rears, finally new decals and a bit of paint here and there to touch things up and it was declared ready for the table Hope you guys like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 that is a very nice undertaking! love the Ford 4000 in general and you did a good job with this! the square mudgaurds are a must on this in my opinion, great job on the back wheels and rims, they are spot on!

Valley Axe Man Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Cheers Lads thats very kind of you I've got another couple of ideas for conversions using 1/16th UH tractors and comments like you've posted are making me think i should get on with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 First tractor i ever drove was a Delux cab 4000. Its still on the same farm (now belonging to my uncle) on yard scraping dutys & other light work. It was imported from England secondhand in 1986 threw Colemans of Millstreet ,Co Cork. Nearly half the farms in the area at the time ran ether a 4000 or a 4600 along with plenty of 5000s & 6600s also nocking around. The 4000 got a new lease of life about 3 years ago with a 4610 engine transplant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
