Fenside MF Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I wasn't overly pleased with my first efforts at making a tier 2 6480 so I have made a replacement,off the 5480 as wheelbase and length wise it isn't far out to notice in scale size.Just need a number plate to finish it off.

Fenside MF Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 thanks all,bonnet is an extended 5455 as ithought the 6290 bonnet was a tad steep looking on my older ttv based 6480 convo,need a decent tier3 to go with it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Nice effort Jamie. Having built two tier 3 MF6480s I do think the cab and rear fenders off the 5480 are better suited to the job........................I used the MF7499 twicebut the rear fenders stick out further because the larger tractor has bigger wheels and tyres R42s...........................You need to get a grey chassis 5480 with the new colour red to match with the 6475 donor tractor..........I couldn't source one and only had the black chassis version.

Fenside MF Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Cheers Phil,I like your 6480,my idea for one is to add the missing door handle and grab handle inside the cab,choose some new axles and wheels,probably uh claas arions like your other one,then extend the rear fenders to the right width with plasticard and filler.I just got so many other models to finish first , my 7480 that I converted is annoying me as its on 42 inch rear wheels and that's not right so may go back to that and sort it as its on display now.

Jd6320driver Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 What's the rim and tire setup on this Massey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Both Jamie and my MF6480s are set on R38s rims donored from the 5480 model.............mine has 6475 models tyres which are a little larger, probably 580/65s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
