Cracking conversions john, so is your collection. Thank you both, that is just the tip of a probably too large iceberg! There's upwards of 500 tractors and implements under our stairs and secreted around the house, plus our little lad will have well over 100, the hardest part is explaining to the better half why we "need" so many tractors! Here's a picture of a model of our farm that I made for our son, again it's not finished ! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 My wife has a similar attitude to the models, I remind her about the horses she keeps spending money on. brilliant model if your farm, I would have loved ine of here when I was little. In fact I still would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I still would. I reckon they think we just haven't grown up Martin, mind they might be right, I keep telling her I'll let her know when I'm ready to become an adult ha ha! I made the farm several years ago for our son as part of a bigger farm yard he has, trouble is he's 13 now and thinks he's getting too big for it, I keep reminding him I'm still not too old for it ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Yes, I think you are right. He will soon be into real tractors! My son is only 2 1/2 and he pushes my hands off the steering wheel so he can drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Great collection John, and some lovely conversions too. Really like your 6710. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thank you David, the 6710 was the first conversion I attempted about 5 or 6 years ago and was based on a Britains 5000 chassis and the original TW20 bonnet and cab. A local farmer had one from new and I always thought they were a fine looking tractor, that was in the days when a 2wd tractor actually looked good ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
