844john Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks martin, that's more or less the three that I'm building...they don't look like that at the moment mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Lambing has certainly stopped play on the model front this year, but things are starting to get back to normality now (whatever that is!), anyway, a little more done on the 118. I managed to source some 34" wheels for the back, which I've cast as a separate rim and tyre to ease painting, and 24" for the front with new centres made up. Front axle built, front weight, engine side rails, exhaust and a start in the cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 That looks the busness My dad worked in the falklands as a stock controller i remember him sending me photos of murhill and counties being off loaded I'm sure they had roadless ones like that too might have been red and white though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Looks like your getting there John, despite your time away to play midwife for the ewes, there are photo's about somewhere that i took at the bottom of our road when i was a young lad, Coars used to have a 98 and a 118 to pull thier JF's, both choppers had engines on the drawbar, but between them they could clear some ground in a day, had a fleet of half a dozen on carting duty with a right mix of homebrewed trailers, they got a brand new 4610 ap cab in the late 80's and not long after one of the roadless's got traded for a big 1550DT Fiat but they still kept the engine on the chopper....

844john Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks Paul, must admit over lambing I lost all interest in the models, and at one point I just thought about clearing everything away, but now that I'm starting to catch up on some sleep the interest is coming back again! If you ever come across those photos I'd love to see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 finally got around to starting the rear linkage on the 118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 The 118's not far from the undercoat now, the doors are still to make and a few bits and pieces, but it's almost there. Instead of the Lambourne cab I've decided to fit the 78 with a Duncan Supercab like the one in the photo...pictures to follow on that one..

Well, again it's something a bit different, and also it's a cab that was used on several other makes of tractors so i thought I'd have a go at making up and casting the bits for one so that i can use it on future builds.
