bluegreen Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Best modern Massey todate...................The upgraded wider tyres and wheels are spot on..................and the new front weight is super cool. Ive added a driver, number plate and reduced the wheel weights to one, then sprayed the wheels Sapphire grey.........................I also switched the overly long front wheel hubs with the shorter ones of a surplus to requirements mf 7499.

Tractorman810 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Is the the front weight that comes with the model then Phil ? Or one bought in,suits the tractor a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 The weight block is exclusive to the MF 7700 series.........both in 1/1 and UHs 1/32...............................UH could have easily just done a decal change from the 7624 model but they really have made good detail changes which also include extra roof aerials and a pair of front axle mounted suspension struts........................unfortunately these make for a poor turning circle but that's the only downside.

Tractorman810 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Cheers for the info Phil, I have not really got any of the modern mf's of late, but may do having seen this, the earlier ones weights looked way to small for them I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED7726 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 How did you get the driver in the cab? Looks great by the way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi Alex, I knocked the bonnet off and released the screws holding the cab on under the rear fenders..................the driver is a little on the tall side but just about shoe horned him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Such an improvement - the wheel weights are the only thing that puts me off the model, are they easy to remove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Very easy to remove Joe and they split in two with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Flat screwdriver between the chassis and bonnet , normally at the front above the front linkage and then lever it downwards, this pushes the bonnet of its lugs , its fixed by 1 sometimes 2 rods with a grip patten on them , most if not all uh models have the bonnets held on this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
