I'd say they are past it to be honest... Now that's only my opinion. 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 They were good to a point yea but replicagri haven't made a doncaster 784 yet unless your ultra tallented and can do them from scratch we all know who can but hes a busy farmer too ild love to see repli or UH do a doncaster tractor but i think it will never happen you can drop on ertl 784s quite easy one for conversions be better than what ertl did back in the day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a Doncaster IH along the lines off a 784 being done by Replicagri, but it's more German and French models they tend to look on. Saying that if you could source a skid and bonnet from a Replicagri 845XL for example, rear rims from ether a UH or Atlas Ford 5000 and the cab from the Ertl above with a bit off extra detailing added in for good measure . You might have a nice little homemade conversion. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 To be honest, the Replicagri IH’s would be too long Justin, the 844/845 etc are a good six inches or more longer than a Doncaster skid unit, I think you’d end up with something that looks more like a six cylinder conversion, and as the front of the L cab sits much further back than the XL, it would make the bonnet look even longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It’s still the same skid unit Justin, as I said the European ones are noticeably longer than the Doncaster ones (which makes them a better balanced tractor for putting the power down we’ve always found), I know I can get a bit anal about the details🤣 but to be honest it just wouldn’t look right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This is one I started about three years ago now, but it was one of those builds that just fought me all the way, so it was relegated to the scrap bin. I must get round to having another go at some point as I spent a lot of time on one as a kid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If you find it a challenge no hope for the rest of us john I would just convert a ertl but theres a question that they diddnt adress when they made it Its ment to be a 784 4wd but the grille has the extra layer of squares It should have the 484 584 grille if its 4wd but i think ertl at the time thought 4wd is the way forward shame it would look nice 2wd proper done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
