bluegreen Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I made a few modifications to my MF6170, started by spraying the roof silver, painted grill surround silver. Then sprayed front wheels sapphire grey. I changed the original rear wheels which I felt the centre dish was set too far in from the wheels rim!! So looking around I noticed Claas tractors of the same era shared the same wheels as Massey, probably because both manufacturers are based in France. I bought an UH Claas 657 firstly but chose to put those on my MF3080 instead, and then bought a Siku Claas 697 which has the perfect rims for the 6170 although I had to find more detailed tyres to make it look right. Sprayed the wheels Sapphire grey. Added a 1998 "R" reg plate, a chain round the front weight and painted the exhaust top a nice rusty brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Front tyres are originals, rears had to be changed as they wouldn't fit the donor rims correctly. I think the rears used were removed from a UH CASE Luxxum 120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
