I'm at a bit of a standstill with my other builds waiting for moulds, decals etc, and I've found that if you want to make more than one of something it's best to do them together while all the measurements are fresh in your mind....well, that's my excuse anyway!

Popular Post 844john Posted February 25, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2020 A bit of progress on the White Horse131, managed to get the roadless skids cast and with a little adaption they are ideal for the yellow beasts 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, as I've been collecting the information for the 171 I have had similar thoughts about a 141, and also the last 131 that was sold to a drainage contractor as I thought it would make a nice model attached to its gravel cart....as usual the list is endless! As for the 46, it's one of the first I did that's been used for reference, I look at it as sort of a prototype as there's a few areas that I'm not totally happy with....the better ones are kept undercover until they're finished! They would be massive compared to the average sized tractor which would probably still only be around 70 or 80 hp I'd have thought. By today's standards it is probably about average, and physical size and weight wise it probably isn't far off either, mind she would sound a hell of a lot better than most of the gear today. Builds are looking smashing, something a bit different with the 131, are you building the blade and gravel cart as well? Maybe one of your others needs a muir hill dumper to lead the stone in and a A5000 ( I think that's what they were) to load it. Oh and big a mole for Brownys 101 to drag along. Aaah you are only teasing us with the 46. Looking forward to seeing the others completed, I imagine you are looking forward to getting them off your bench!

Popular Post 844john Posted February 28, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2020 Cheers Martin, as you say, a monster in their day, but a link box tractor now Don't be putting any more ideas in my head for builds (not that I need any encouragement there!) as I've really got enough part builds now to last me about 10 years! Yes, blade and gravel cart under construction 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Think you need a trencher on the list John, not that i'm trying to add to the workload would make use of the 171 and a lowloader...... progress looking good though with the 131 with blade and cart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about being a good use of the 171 though..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Gardebroek Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 This model looks so fantastic. And also the way you build them looks so easy. But I think this would take so much time to took all the measurements and the parts to build this tractor. Great job John. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thank you Ben, I seem to be getting plenty of practice in with them at the moment! You're right though, spending some time working out your measurements and plans I do find key to it all coming together properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 844john Posted March 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2020 Decided to cast a few parts for the Muir Hill as I've got a few on the go at the moment! Front axle done and fitted to the 171, along with the diesel tanks and a start with the cab interior. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 844john Posted March 14, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 It's starting to look like the shop floor at the Muir Hill factory on my work bench at the moment. A bit of progress on the 101 winch tractor, and also the start of a 141 that's crept in amongst them 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Made a start on the business end of the 101, the Clayton Sanderson 23 ton hydraulic winch....it's certainly some lump of metal! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 really do not know where you find the time john, i have only just managed to clean the new shed out today ,and thats down to the weather, otherwise i had no hope certainly going to make a nice fleet, although it wont be complete without a decent pipe / drain layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks Sean, ....I'm just a morning person! Don't mention the trencher, I'm trying hard to resist starting one at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the one Joe, I've watched that a couple of times just to get a feel for the winch working, you're right though, I wouldn't want to be near the job! As for the trencher, I'll just leave it with the oracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 A bit more done on the 101, the huge anchor made and fitted to the winch, steps and frame and a start on the front box 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
