844john Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I know its not strictly a conversion but I thought I'd share some pictures of my build of this tractor. I started it about a year ago and then it just got left, so I thought it was time to get it finished. First pics are where I left off: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Bobcat kit Mark, sometimes wish I had got one. Ertl did quite a few of these, Nash, Massey and Deere along with trailers,to go with them. I do keep a watch for them now and again but the trouble is they make good money now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Almost done, can't decide whether to glue the door in the open or closed position. In the instructions it shows how you can hinge them with sellotape but I don't fancy that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a nice kit to build with no/minimal painting to do. I had the Massey kit too along with the MF trailer. I'm pretty sure I acquired an additional set of rear wheels, from a cousin, so it would have had had duals on the back. Long gone now although I believe it was sold on to a collector or dealer in the early eighties. I think i have some parts for a trailer somewhere, not 100% certain exactly what but a wheel springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
