Thanks Sean, I'm going with what Stan says as i don't remember where they came from! I used them on the Zetor that i did, but I've pinched them off it to cast for these.

Managed to sort the position of the cab and wheels, it's amazing how just a little bit out here and there is so noticeable, but hopefully we've got there now 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be how you have it placed on your mock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thanks Sean, they were popular up this way too, I'm sure most farmers have had at least one Leyland over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 There was a farm near where I lived in the early 1990s, this was their tractor fleet as i can remember it: Leyland 270/272? X 3 Leyland 802 Marshall 802 Marshall 804 Fiat 1000 DT Deutz DX120 Deutz DX6.30 They used the Leylands mainly on Farrow irrigators for the potatoes and general work, was a great farm for interest back in the day. Just have a couple of New Holland's and a JD now. Looking great there John, are you thinking of the later yellow versions as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
