Lord Ferguson Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Much improved over the standard 175 I must say - the standard one is crying out for a refit - the exhaust makes her look a lot better.. not to mention the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadGear Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hello again Gents! I have not introduced myself yet, but Rick said I needed to get over here and talk to you good people! The 175 you see here in this post is an old Ertl 175 in 1/16 scale. The tractor was in poor shape (like it's twin the 1080) and was a candidate for a custom workover. The tractor as you have seen it is not finished. The "blue" on the block is primer, I still have not sprayed the finish coat on yet. The hood and fenders have been painted and I have added the decals to the hood. I will be putting on larger custom front wheels with Firestone 11L-15 tires and will have dished rear rims with custom tires. I ground off the cast-in exhaust pipe on the right side and have put on a upright stack. I will post more pictures as I work on it.

RoadGear Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Thank you for the warm welcome Gents! As a newbie (and a Yank) I'll try to mind my manners. Marky, I've just got around to building the Fergusons so I've got the1080, the 175 and I have a 2805 waiting for a "convo". My collection started with Massey Harris - I've got a 555, 44 Special, 101 Super Row Crop. a Pony and a Colt. I also have an International A (the first real tractor I ever had) and a Ferguson TO-20 (I currently own a real one). The first convo that I ever did on TTT was a pulling tractor based on the International 3088. Fergie Boy and smallclaas - you boys behave!
