Have replacements sat painted ready, the issue that causes is the ford tractor grey I've painted them with shows how dark UH's grey is, so #2 is going to be an attempt at painting the cab and mudguards but this could go very wrong. # 3 and 4 are touching up the air filter bowl with black and possibly altering the mirror arms before paint. Think there was something else but can't remember at the minute, seeing as i haven't finished lambing I'll blame it on sheep brain, but it'll probably be re painting the cab when I've messed the first attempt up.

844john Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Bit of work there Martin, I'm interested to see how it goes painting the cab, looks like it could be a bit of a bugger to get right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yes I must say I think I’d leave it, I’m not a county expert but it looks good. Just hope they don’t stop there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope they don’t stop there I had a quick look and it doesn't seem bad, glazing looks like it'll come out and lights pop off, plan a was to take it apart to get the glazing out, replace that with some cardboard to mask the interior, put cab back together then spray, will need replacement decals and the window rubber touching in but neither of those should be too difficult.

Popular Post mb86 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2019 Modified UH county 1174, I was going to take a few action photos untill I noticed a mirror arm hanging off, so it's back in for repairs. Thank you Ian for sending me the decals to finish the cab, they are excellent. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
