tabmodels Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Based on a Universal Hobbies Ford 5000, front axle and drive train added, rear wheel weights and decals. The 5000 arrived with most of it's small parts broken off and lost, had to replace the air filter mushroom with a Britains one, re-attach the exhaust, and remake both tail lights.

Bernard Stegehuis Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Great model Ian. Can you build also one for me? To fit my 1:1 scale roadless ploughmaster 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajo Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 +1 for me, and a big thumbs up for the endresult of one of my favourite classic tractors ... I still wanted to build one based on a Britains Ford 5000, but now I have seen this, off to get a UH Ford 5000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
