tabmodels Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I've been fiddling around with this for a while now but just couldn't settle on what front wheels to use. After recently converting a Universal Hobbies MF135, I realised the rear wheels would be the perfect candidate. Converted from a Britains TW-15, I rebuilt the rear linkage, added front weights and a drive shaft cover underneath. Rear wheels are from a UH Ford 6810 and fronts from a UH MF135 which are turned inside out with scratch built centres. Front track width has been considerably narrowed to try to 'capture the stature' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 very nice Ian, I actually think it suits the 2wd axle better than the 4, not something you'd say about a modern tractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Lovely work again Ian. I have to agree that a 2wd 6 cylinder classic of around 100hp is a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
