Fordson lass Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Right as most of you know I've been tearing my hair out trying to get Rob a black beauty to no avail. So I decided sod it-I'm going to make him one. This is a black Fendt conversion made by me. Based on a Siku Fendt 936. I sprayed it black added 2 layers clear laquer a front weight block that was lurking just on the workbench of the shed. I also bought a little silver touch up pen and did the silver detailing. Rob suggested the chrome exhaust and the open door and window. This is my first proper tractor conversion so please don't take the pi$$! Just for legal reasons I add this is not a black beauty, just my version of one!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Was the cab glass easy to remove?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 How did you attach the front weight Are they easy to get hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordson lass Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 I used Rob's Dremmel to cut them and yes the cab glass was pretty easy to remove, but felt a little flimsy. Undo the two screws on the bottom of the chassy and it'll fall off. Rob had some weights from a Farmer Plus Siku Fendt 9 something, 30 I think.
