Popular Post 844john Posted August 15, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2019 ...and 4000 fieco cab, again just a trial fit, I think the original Britains cab will be used as it's a bit finer in my opinion 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Those are superb john. I agree the old fieco cab will look nicer than the recent one, although the step goes a long way to spoiling the look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment they're just roughly put together just to see if it would work as I've re cast a shortened skid for the 46's, but I think with a little work a 4000 and a 4600 shouldn't be too difficult. You might just have noticed a third 4610 in the background? actually it's the one in the first picture with the dashboard fitted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Great work John.. These are the Ford's that the mainstream manufacturers have snubbed unfortunately.. I done the 4600 & 4000 myself a few years ago by chopping back the Britains 5000 & 6600 castings & also using the cabs from both..Nigel Ford Sankey rims from his 5000 Pre Force seemed to be 36" representation when compared to the UH 5000 38"s .. They all look a treat.. Best tread I've seen on the forum for years ...keep up the good work. Cant wait to see them finished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 i would say the old one as well for the 4000, it certainly worked well for my 5000 when i did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Justin, you're right, these smaller tractors always seem to get overlooked, that's one of the joys of doing them to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
