Popular Post Ferret90 Posted January 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2020 I thought it’s about time I make a big thread showing my conversions etc instead of lots of individual ones... I’ve just finished tweaking an atlas editions Ferguson . I’ve changed the front wheels for some Britain’s ones as the originals just didn’t look right but I’m still not sure about them... £3.99 vs £35 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirely Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The standard Ferguson T20 fronts were very narrow, 4.00 x 19. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret90 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Got this recently, my first ever Replicagri tractor, cracking model , really well built compared to UH . I was wondering if the 844xl ever came to the uk? Or was it only European? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I think European, not sure were they French or German build. Probably the equivalent off the Doncaster built 885XL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Certainly did Ted...we still have two of them Much heavier built than the 885 with the same back end as the 9/1056 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Ours are both Case IH liveried versions Ted, my Father has a '90 model which was built in Germany, the one here is one of the latter ones built in '93 in Doncaster, they are both still good tractors, but I do think my father's has the edge on build quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Seeing as your a bit of a Landy man Ted there was a bloke not far from Bulith Wells who put landy front axles under fergys and dexta's, he made his own sandwich box to go between gearbox and back end that used bits of a Range Rovers chain driven transfer box, then used a longer prop to take the drive forward to the axle, i not sure how many he did or if the ratios worked out right so it didnt wind itself up but a use of old parts non the less 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say good use of old parts, I suppose 4wd would have been rare back then. I wonder if there’s still any around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily built by the man Paul mentions but quite possibly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janval Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Nice thread, I am on the lookout for some Atlas models myself (pondering whether they're worth the hassle), good to see some of them converted for measure Which donor did you use for the 4wd Fergie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price there a nice model, the Fergusons. Very light and but detailed. I also have an atlas international and a french one but there flimsy and awful quality. The 4wd is an atlas with wheels from a Britains dumper and parts off a 1/35 italiari Land Rover kit. Here’s an atlas one and a UH one for size... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
